What is Vaginal discharge?

Vaginal discharge or leukorrhea is a natural secretion from the vagina in females to keep it moist and safe from infections. The fluid contains cells and debris shedding from the lining of the vagina. It is milky-white or off-white in color, thick, and odorless under normal circumstances. The color, odor, and consistency of vaginal discharge may become altered due to certain infectious diseases. 

If you notice any alteration in the secretions, or consistency, or experience any symptoms related to abnormal vaginal discharge, book an appointment with the best gynecologists based on their experience, qualification, and fees.

Diagnosis of Vaginal Discharge

The vaginal secretions are evaluated using the following diagnostic methods to detect any alterations in the color, odor, or composition of leukorrhea;

  • Pelvic exam performed by the gynecologist

  • PH test to detect the altered composition

  • Wet mount test to detect microbial infections

  • Lab testing for sexually transmitted diseases

Treatment for Altered Vaginal Discharge

The abnormal vaginal discharge involves symptomatic treatment depending on the cause of the disease. The available treatment options include;

  • Antifungals: Yeast infections are treated with antifungal creams.

  • Antibiotics: Trichomoniasis is treated with oral or local antibiotics like metronidazole.

  • Abnormal vaginal discharge due to vaginal cancer or pelvic inflammatory diseases is managed by treating the primary cause of the disease.

The specialist doctors for vaginal discharge in Pakistan can be consulted through Marham for optimum therapeutic services.

Risks Associated with Abnormal Vaginal Discharge

  • Maintain good hygiene: Cleanliness and good hygienic practices can avoid infections leading to vaginal infections. Avoid sharing personal belongings like toothbrushes, bath soap, razors, etc., and take regular baths.

  • Improve sanitary practices: Avoid scented tampons or sanitary napkins, take hot baths during periods, and change the sanitary pad after every 2-3 hours.
