Leucorrhoea – Overview
Leucorrhoea is a thick, whitish or yellowish vaginal discharge. It is the most commonly experienced condition of women of reproductive age. Women experiencing vaginal discharge, at first instance, feel very embarrassed and worried as to why they are suffering from this problem. Though majority of the women fear and think of it as a disease, usually it is a sign of just an infection. It is normal to experience vaginal discharge few days before menarche (before a woman starts on her periods for the first time), just before periods and during a sexual fantasy or sexual stimulation. Some amount of discharge is normal and essential for vaginal lubrication. However, the amount of discharge may increase due to vaginal infections and may come and go from time to time.
This condition can be quite embarrassing if characterised by foul-smelling vaginal discharge. Leucorrhoea can often be a pointer to various gynaecological conditions and infertility, and hence requires and treatment.

Leucorrhoea – Treatment
The study conducted at the Clinical Research Centre, West Bengal, demonstrated successful treatment outcome in cases of leucorrhoea.
At Dr H.M. Soni, thousands of women have been treated with variable health issues, with a majority suffering from leucorrhoea. In the past 35 years, our patients have shown considerable improvements, with a success rate of around 90%.
Generally, women tend to seek medical help for leucorrhoea only when they are compelled to change their undergarments or feel a severe burning sensation, irritation and urgency to urinate.
Our doctors understand and identify the stage of the disease, the risk factors and investigate the underlying causes. Our doctors also look into their eating patterns and immune status by understanding their recent and past infections.
Lifestyle habits and hygiene and care of personal areas can also be the triggering factors of the infection.
The natural homeopathic medicine is based upon the underlying disease condition and the severity of the complaints; if required, our doctors take a second opinion from the expert panel of doctors from the medical board.
The medicine helps to control infections, ease the distressing complaints, delay recurrence and prevent complications. The doctors guide methods of correct vaginal care in order to prevent repeated infections.
Patients are encouraged to follow a healthy diet, for which nutritional guidance is provided.
Our doctors facilitate a supportive and comforting atmosphere, which helps women narrate their complaints easily.
