HOMEOPATHY FOR LEUCORRHOEA

HOMEOPATHY FOR LEUCORRHOEA

Leucorrhoea also known as fluor albus, is a thick, whitish, yellowish or greenish vaginal discharge. It has also been referred to as “the whites”. There are many causes of leucorrhoea, the usual one being oestrogen imbalance. The amount of discharge may increase due to vaginal infection, and it may disappear and reappear from time to time. This discharge can keep occurring for years, in which case it becomes more yellow and strong-smelling. It is usually a non-pathological symptom secondary to inflammatory conditions of the vagina or cervix.

Vaginal discharge is normal, and causes of change in discharge include infection, malignancy, and hormonal changes. It sometimes occurs before an adolescent female has her first period, and is considered a sign of puberty.

Types:

Physiologic Leucorrhoea-

It can be a natural defence mechanism that the vagina uses to maintain its chemical balance, as well as to preserve the flexibility of the vaginal tissue. The term “physiologic leucorrhoea” is used to refer to leucorrhoea due to oestrogen stimulation.

Leucorrhoea may occur normally during pregnancy. This is caused by increased blood flow to the vagina due to increased oestrogen. Female infants may have leucorrhoea for a short time after birth due to their in-uterine exposure to oestrogen.

Inflammatory Leucorrhoea-

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

After delivery, leucorrhoea accompanied by backache and foul-smelling lochia may suggest the failure of involution 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 Leucorrhoea-

Leucorrhoea 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.

Homeopathic Remedies for Leucorrhoea

1. Sepia Officinalis: treat Leucorrhoea mainly in women at the menopause age with excessive hot flushes, perspiration, and weakness.

Another prominent feature for using Homeopathic medicine Sepia Officinalis is the presence of bearing down sensation in the pelvis as if the pelvic organs would come out from vulva.

2. Alumina: The symptom that guides towards its use is very acrid and transparent discharge from vagina that causes excessive burning and itching in genitals. Such burning gets better by washing the parts with cold water. Another indication for the use of Alumina in patients of Leucorrhoea is that the discharge is very profuse and even runs down till the heels. The complaint of vaginal discharge is worse during day time and after menses and the patient is physically and mentally exhausted after menses.
