Leukorrhea

Introduction
Many ladies experience some strange discharge, in their teenage, which seems to have no reason. A lady suffering from leucorrhea experiences white fluid discharge from vagina, it is not a disease but if its duration is long and continuous, it needs to be cared. The discharged fluid is whitish and some what viscous. Some girls may experience it throughout the day which is very uncomfortable. However there are no significant causes for such a condition but still it can be an indication of some internal disease. For example a tumor, vaginal or uterine infection or some other gynecological problem can be a cause of this disease. Usually it starts in young age. Women at any age can be a victim of this disease.

Alternative Names

Causes
There can be many causes behind this problem. An infection of urinary track or vaginal infection can lead to this whitish discharge such as Cadidiasis. It may have some more serious reasons behind it such as vaginal tumors etc. Deficiency of vitamin B can also lead to this condition. The quantity of discharge increases due to increased estrogen level. Pregnancy can be a cause of it too. Some times physical and mental stress can result in it.
