Leucorrhea is a white discharge of the vagina. Quite a few reasons are attributed to this condition. Leucorrhea is quite common during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause; however, its occurrence during other times probably means the presence of sexually transmitted diseases, other infections & diseases of different female reproductive parts/organ. Leucorrhea which is foul smelling or with a change of color that ranges from yellow, green or bloody could often be serious and does require prompt medical attention.

Well, there are several natural and safe ways to treat leucorrhea. Natural treatment methods such as Ayurvedic remedies/medicine are pretty simple and don’t cause any adverse effects like in the case of western conventional medicines.

Leucorrhoea or Vaginitis is a problem that many women face. When there is a discharge from the female genitals which has a foul smell and dirty white or greenish pallor, this condition is called Leucorrhoea.

The other symptoms of this condition include inflammation and irritation in the area.

This problem mostly crops up during puberty and can lead to long-term damage if it does not get timely and proper treatment.

Ayurvedic Approach Towards Leucorrhoea:

Leucorrhea is called as Shvetapradara in Ayurveda. Shveta means white and Pradar means Discharge. It is due to the imbalance of vaginal microflora which results in the infection.

In Ayurveda, there are three main energies – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha in the body which are responsible for good health. Imbalance of Kapha is responsible for leucorrhea. Aggravation of Kapha impairs the Rasa Dhatu which results in leucorrhea.

Ayurveda believes that herbal remedies deliver the richness of herbs in an unadulterated, natural form. Moreover, unique combinations help enhance immunity as well as provide endurance, strength, and will.

Needless to mention, herbs are natural & 100% safe. Herbs meant for leucorrhea help enhance the functioning of the female gonads in a natural way. Herbs meant for leucorrhea or white discharge help regulate hormones to facilitate proper functioning of the ovaries and hence naturally cure the illness.

Ayurvedic formulations available at Bhagwati Ayurveda work towards reducing the excess discharge by means of controlling hormone quantities & disturbances caused due to different infections and inflammations.

What are the Cause of Leucorrhoea:

Bacterial vaginosis it occurs due to overgrowth of normally occurring organisms in the vagina. These infections are occurring due to unprotected sex.

Yeast infections are caused by the fungus named as Candida albicans.

Trichomoniasis, a parasitic infection which is caused by Trichomonas vaginal. This infection is mostly transmitted through sexual intercourse.

Vaginal atrophy which is occurred due to decreased hormonal levels after menopause.

With the use of Vaginal sprays, perfumed soaps, spermicidal products, and scented detergents, irritation or allergic reactions may occur in the vagina.

Treatment

As Ayurveda Suggests- “Nidana Parivarjnam” means avoidance of things that can cause disease. In leucorrhoea one should avoid fried, spicy and pure foods like curd and pickles, proper hygiene should be maintained

Some useful herbs are Shatavari, Vidari, Lodhra, Patha, Ashoka, Ashwagandha etc.
Some Ayurveda preparations like Chandrprabha Vati, Pusyanug Churna, Patragasava, Lodhrasav are very useful.
Panchvalkal Kashayam, Triphla Kashayam is very much beneficial herbal solution vaginal douching.

The causative factors (especially food) mentioned above can result in aggravation of Kapha Dosha. This increased Kapha, along with other factors, can impair the Rasa Dhatu (nutrient plasma) present in the vaginal tract, ultimately leading to the painless discharge of white colored fluid from the vagina.

Ayurvedic Leucorrhoea treatment consists of restoring the digestive fire of the body in order to cleanse the accumulated toxins and balance Kapha. Rejuvenating herbs are then prescribed to tone the reproductive system.
