Leucorrhoea

Leucorrhoea, a disorder where a thick, sticky discharge emerges from the vagina, is a very prevalent issue among young women.

Leucorrhoea is a defence mechanism that occurs naturally. It lubricates the vaginal tissues, maintaining their elasticity.

It is not an illness per se, but rather a sign of certain conditions including diabetes, anemia, or certain bacterial infections.

  • Poor cleanliness in the vagina.
  • Disturbances in hormones.
  • Overindulgent sexual behaviour.
  • Recurrent terminations.
