Types of Leucorrhea

Physiologic leucorrhea

The term “physiologic leucorrhea” is used to refer to leucorrhea due to estrogen stimulation. It can be a natural defense mechanism that the va-gina uses to maintain its chemical balance, as well as to preserve the flexibility of the vaginal tissue. It is not a major issue but is to be resolved as soon as possible.

Leukorrhea may occur normally during pregnancy. This is caused by increased blood flow to the va-gina due to increased estrogen. Female infants may have leucorrhea for a short time after birth due to their in-uterine exposure to estrogen.

Leucorrhea can also be caused by sexual stimulation.

Inflammatory leucorrhea

It may also result from inflammation or congestion of the vaginal mucosa. In cases where it is yellowish or gives off an odor, a doctor should be consulted since it could be a sign of several disease processes, including an organic bacterial infection (aerobic vaginitis) or STD.

After delivery, leukorrhea accompanied by backache and foul-smelling lochia (post-partum vaginal discharge, containing blood, mucus, and placental tissue) may suggest the failure of involution (the uterus returning to pre-pregnancy size) due to infection. A number of investigation such as wet smear, Gram stain, culture, pap smear and biopsy are suggested to diagnose the condition.

Parasitic leucorrhea

Leukorrhea is also caused by trichomonads, a group of parasitic protozoan, specifically Trichomonas vaginalis. Common symptoms of this disease are burning sensation, itching and discharge of frothy substance, thick, white or yellow mucous.
