Leucorrhoea is one of the most common gynecological problems. In Ayurveda, this is known as Swetha pradara.

DEFINITION

Leucorrhoea is strictly defined as excessive normal discharge according to modern science. This is catarrhal discharge from the mucus membrane of the female genital tract. It may be due to specific pathology or due to poor health and unhygienic condition of the female genital organ.

Discharge may vary from white to reddish or thick and viscid with or without foul smell due to underline infection. The symptoms of excessive discharge may be subjective and it requires clinical and laboratory assessment to confirm whether it is normal excess or an infective discharge.

In normal excess, it may appear just before and after menstrual bleeding.

Common causes of abnormal vaginal discharges are

1. Noninfective where nonpurulent, non-offensive vaginal discharge.

2. Infective where purulent or frothy yellow discharge/curdy white discharge etc according to the type of organism involved or cervicitis (mucoid discharge).

3. Neoplastic

4. Foreign body like unhygienic tampon insertion or mechanical irritation where offensive,    copious, purulent, and blood-stained discharges are seen.
