Leucorrhea (vaginal discharge)
Leucorrhea is a thick, whitish vaginal discharge. These secretions of the vaginal mucosa and cervical mucus are normal. If you find your discharge unpleasant, you can use mild feminine wipes to freshen up and clean yourself gently at any time.
When discharge becomes excessive, yellowish or gives off a foul odour, it can be a sign of a bacterial, fungal or parasitic vaginal infection. In this case, you must consult a physician.
