Leucorrhoea or Whites is a thick, white or yellowish discharge from female genitals. It is a very common condition and is experienced by most women despite of ages, at sometime or the other.

But due to the fact that female genitals are moist and covered almost all the time, they are highly prone to infections and inflammations. So it is very important to know the underlying factors resulting in vaginal discharge. Sometimes excessive discharge may be due to fungal infection in vaginal tissues.

Types of Leucorrhoea:

The following are the two main types of leucorrhoea.

Physiological leucorrhoea-

This is the normal state where the discharge is due to the following reasons.

Pregnancy- Due to the changes in the walls of the cervix and an increase in the level of estrogen hormone, leucorrhoea is common during pregnancy.

Puberty- Normally a girl experiences leucorrhoea before her first period. Due to ovulation, vagina produces more watery and sticky discharge.

Newborn female infants- Leucorrhoea is seen in newborn female infants due to exposure to estrogen in the womb.

Pathological leucorrhoea:

Vaginal discharge which is yellow or green in colour and gives out a foul smell is not normal and alarming. Pathological leucorrhoea is caused by infections due to bacteria, fungi or other micro-organisms. There is a need for immediate medical attention.

Causes of leucorrhoea

• Due to pregnancy there is a chance of getting injury to the vagina or to the cervix which results in leucorrhoea.
• Unhygienic conditions, lack of cleanliness.
• Infection in vaginal tissues due to bacteria, fungi or other micro-organisms.
• Sometimes using contraceptive pills causes irritation which results in vaginal discharge.
• Urinary tract infection
• STDs
• Poor diet

• Sometimes a girl experiences leucorrhoea before her first period as a sign of puberty.

How to prevent leucorrhoea

Physiological Leucorrhoea can be prevented in many ways. A good nutritious diet with personal hygiene are some of the precautions, while avoiding strong scented soaps for cleaning vaginal area and using cotton panties instead of nylon or synthetic material, by drinking atleast 2 litres of water to flush out toxins from the body.

But pathological leucorrhoea requires immediate medical treatment along with above precautions.
