Likoria that is rightly spelled as leukorrhea/leucorrhoea is a condition common in females. It is a flow of white, pale yellow, or greenish discharge from the female vagina that may be normal or a sign of infection. These discharges can come from the vagina, the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, or, most commonly, the cervix.
Likoria is a normal condition, and it is clear or milky and odorless. Every day, your body produces a small amount (about a teaspoon). At the middle of your menstrual cycle the time when your eggs are released during ovulation, you may notice that your discharge becomes thinner and stretchy, similar to egg whites. Your discharge may be stickier near the end of your cycle, closer to when you actually get your period.
These normal discharge are produced in response to estrogen stimulation and are thus visible during the newborn period and return during early puberty when unopposed estrogen levels rise again.
Likoria in an unmarried girl is also a normal condition. After puberty, almost at the age of 10-11 years, every girl faces this whitish discharge from the vagina. If the discharge has an odor or any change in color with itching, it shows some type of infection in the body/ vagina or cervix.
What Are The Causes Of Abnormal Likoria?
Infections with bacteria, yeast, or other microorganisms can cause abnormal likoria. Many sexually transmitted diseases STDs, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, are significant causes of likoria because they involve the transmission of viruses or bacteria.

Likoria is an infection, particularly if the discharge is yellow or green, has an unpleasant odour, and is associated by irritation, itching, pain, or tissue inflammation. Infections with bacteria, yeast, or other microorganisms can cause abnormal likoira.
Atrophic vaginitis is characterized by a dry, irritated vaginal lining that may be particularly uncomfortable or painful during intercourse.
A new vaginal discharge characterized by fever, abdominal pain, or pain during intercourse may indicate a sexually transmitted disease like gonorrhoea or chlamydia. However, gonorrhoea and chlamydia are rarely associated with symptoms.
Trichomonas or bacterial vaginosis is usually indicated by yellow, green, or grey discharge. Bacterial vaginosis has a peculiar, fishy odor.
Itching is most commonly associated with yeast infections, but it can occur with any type of infection or irritation.
Likoria Treatment:
Antibiotics and anti-microbial agents are among the most effective likoria treatments for bacterial vaginosis. Patients are also given gel-based vaginal creams to treat yeast infections.
If you have recurring yeast infections and recognize the symptoms, you can use over-the-counter (OTC) antifungal creams. If your symptoms do not show improvement, see your gynecologist for a check-up to confirm the diagnosis and change your treatment.
Atrophic vaginitis can develop due to hormonal changes, most commonly during or after menopause. Estrogen is the most effective treatment for this type of likoria. Because you are facing lower estrogen levels than if you took estrogen orally or through a skin patch, vaginal estrogen tablets, creams, or rings are the safest route.
Sexual partners do not need to get treatment unless you have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease or have recurring infections. No other factor makes you susceptible to infection. If your sexual partner has a new discharge or discomfort when urinating or during intercourse, he should be evaluated by a doctor.
Likoria Treatment At Home:
- Keep your vagina clean by washing gently with a bar of mild soap and warm water.
- Never use scented soap or any other product inside your vagina.
- Always wipe from front to back to prevent the spread of infections
- Drink cranberry juice once or twice a day
- Consume vegetables like ladyfinger, lemon, broccoli that can maintain the pH of your vagina in the normal range
