Throughout their lives, about 75% of women will encounter leucorrhea, with 45% of those cases being recurrent. These days, leucorrhea affects a far higher proportion of young individuals, impeding their capacity to reach their full potential in terms of growth and development. Many people are still not aware of the prevention of leucorrhea, which poses a threat to their health both now and in the future.(17)Among women of all ages, vaginal discharge is a common issue.This article primarily addresses the primary source of vaginal discharge in women who are of reproductive age.Trichomonas vaginalis, candidiasis, and bacterial variolosis. Atrophic vaginitis with secondary bacterial infection, foreign bodies with secondary infections, and idiopathic vulvo-vaginal ulcerations are some of the unusual infectious causes.In order to treat vaginal discharge in accordance with its aetiology, doctors must be knowledgeable about the many clinical presentations of the condition, the epidemiological data that is developing, and how to manage them. Only by providing appropriate counselling and education to every patient can these illnesses be avoided. It is necessary to demonstrate and encourage the use of condoms. Each spouse must get a notice sheet, and partner treatment must be prioritised. In addition to all of these variables, HIV testing is required in every situation.(19)
