Is there a Natural Cure for Leucorrhoea?

Leucorrhoea is the whitish discharge that women experience from their genitals.  It is not a normal condition of the reproductive organs and could become chronic if not taken care of in the beginning stages.  Although this is not normal, many women experience it.  The whitish discharge is not to be confused with a normal constant flow within the female organs of secretions from the uterus and upper part of the vagina that flow down and are reabsorbed in the lower parts of the vagina.  When the discharge is white from this process, this indicates an infection in these tissues.  Leucorrhoea can last for weeks or even months at a time.

What are the symptoms of Leucorrhoea?

As mentioned above, a sure sign of Leucorrhoea is a whitish discharge from the vagina.  A person will feel weak and tired and can suffer from pain in the lumbar region, as well as the calves.  Also, there can be a “dragging sensation” in the abdomen.  Other symptoms include:  constipation, frequent headaches and very intense itching.  Those who develop chronic Leucorrhoea will experience irritability and have black patches under the eyes.

Young girls can get Leucorrhoea

Many times, young girls will develop this condition a few years before and after the beginning of their menstrual flow.  This is due to the irritation to the genital organs that are caused by dirt, intestinal worms, mental stimulation of sex or masturbation, soiled under garments, etc.  Some excess secretion is normal at puberty.  It should disappear in a short time.   Also, it could occur in women who have heavy menstrual periods, due to the thickening of the mucus membrane in the reproductive organs.  This is associated with painful menstruation.
