Leukorrhea

Hello kanwal,

Welcome to the EmpowHER community and thank you for reaching out to us with your health concern. I must point out that we are not physicians. But, I will do my best to provide you with information.

Leukorrhea a white to yellow sticky discharge from the vagina or uterine cavity, which may be a symptom of a disorder either in the reproductive organs or elsewhere in the body.

The glands of the vagina normally secrete a certain amount of mucus like fluid that moistens the vaginal membranes. This is often increased at the time of ovulation and before a menstrual period, and it is also stimulated by sexual excitement, whether or not sexual intercourse takes place.

Excessive discharge, however, may indicate an abnormal condition. A yellow or creamy white discharge, especially if it is thick, often contains pus and provides evidence of an infection. A thinner discharge, such as one that seems to be clear mucus, usually indicates that the disorder is chronic, but of less significance.

Kanwal, did you initially see a primary care physician or gynecologist when you first experienced leukorrhea? If so, what was the cause?

Treatment depends on the cause.

Regards,
Maryann
