A: Leukorrhea is a type of vaginal discharge which is normal and is nothing to worry about. Typically it is a white, thin discharge. Sometimes discharge can be a sign of a vaginal infection. If your discharge is yellowish or greenish, smells bad, causes itching, or shows redness, it might be a sign of an infection.

4. I have severe pain in my right armpit going into my breast, what could this be?

A: Pain in the armpit can potentially be caused by: referred pain from the chest, or a blocked and/or infected lymph node. It can also be connected to lumps or tumors that can press on a nerve and cause pain. I highly suggest you see a doctor as soon as possible, especially if the pain increases.
