Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for your question.
Likoria, which is called leukorrhea, is a a whitish, yellowish, or greenish vaginal discharge.
Leukorrhea may occur during pregnancy and is considered normal when the discharge is thin, white, and relatively odorless.
It is a normal condition occurring within several months to a year of the onset of menses in adolescent girls and is sometimes present in newborn girls, usually lasting one to two months.
However, in many cases, leukorrhea is a sign of infection, especially when the discharge is yellow or green, has an offensive odor, and is accompanied by irritation, itching, pain, or tissue inflammation.
Anonymous, if your girlfriend is experiencing the above mentioned symptoms, an infection is the cause and needs medical attention. A vaginal yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or a sexually transmitted disease are all possibilities.
