Leucorrhoea is excessive white discharge from the vagina. Some women have white discharge after or before menopause, some have white discharge before periods. All these are normal and one needn’t worry. But when the white discharge is excessive, it is smelly and does not reduce in a few days, it means a need for treatment is required. There are various natural remedies to treat excessive white discharge or leucorrhoea.
The smelly or thick discharge could be due to a yeast infection – this is mostly the case. But other causes could be:
- Inflammation in the urinary tract
- PID (Pelvic inflammatory disease) which is although not too common could occur in some women
- During pregnancy (Do check if you’re pregnant before you take up any natural or home remedy)
- Bacterial or parasitic infection.
- Imbalance in estrogen levels in the female body.
