Leukorrhea Information You Need
| Basics |
|
Leukorrhea is a whitish, somewhat thick discharge from the vagina. Normally, vaginal discharge occurs intermittently throughout the menstrual cycle, with a somewhat greater than usual amount during pregnancy. Constant leukorrhea, a change in its consistency, or a greater discharge than usual may be signs of a vaginal or uterine infection, a tumor, or various other gynecological disorders. |

All the anal diseases including hemorrhoids mostly breed in filth caused by the unhygienic management of one’s anus, & also in the thrombus & congestion of one's vein by forcible use of toilet roll. It is highly required for female to manage her private parts clearly, because it could cause diseases (i.e. non-gonorrheal urethritis), when the colitis germs that remained around one’s anus, entered into her vagina while wiping away feces or menstruation with toilet roll. |

| Diagnosis |
|
When leukorrhea becomes a source of vaginal pain or irritation, a woman should go to see her doctor. The diagnosis of monilia vaginitis can be done by the characteristic appearance and odor of the discharge, the presence of white or gray patches in the vagina, and the inflammation of the vulvar area.
To substantiate this clinical diagnosis, the physician microscopically examines a wet smear of the vaginal discharge for the typical yeast like organisms.
A swab of the vaginal discharge can also be placed on a special culture medium. The culture will grow within a few days, even at room temperature.
Anti-yeast suppositories and creams are the most common treatments for monilia infections. Some preparations can also be taken orally, but high doses are needed for effective treatment of monilia infections.

It would be a good idea for women to eat yogurt while taking antibiotics. In fact, yogurt is a useful addition to the diet of any women who has or is predisposed to yeast infections. She must, of course, eat yogurt that contains live cultures; this counterbalances the yeast in the vagina. It has been suggested with plain yogurt (again, only yogurt with live cultures) could be applied like a vaginal cream for the treatment of monilia infection.
The effectiveness of this yogurt has not been tested in long-term experiments.
