Abstract :
Abnormal vaginal discharge is quite a frequent
complaint of women in gynecology clinic. The discharge
may range from whatis called excess of normal to one
which is a part of wide spectrum of ailments. Leucorrhoea
is strictly defined as excessive normal vaginaldischarge.
The symptom of excessive is a subjective one with
individual variation, while to declare it to be normal and
not an infectious one requires clinical and laboratory
investigations. Leucorrhoea can often be a pointer to
various gynecological conditions and hence requires
evaluation and treatment. There is growing recognition
that the morbidity due to excessive vaginal discharge is
an important health issue among women in India. It
occurs in 1-14% of all the women in the reproductive age
group and is responsible for 5-10 million OPD visits per
year throughout the world. The prevalence of excessive
vaginal discharge in India is estimatedto be 30%. Most of
the women avoid discussing the problem with a physician
out of shyness and modesty that is why the treatment for
it becomes a bit of challenge. Homoeopathy has answers
for many gynecological conditions. Specially in treatment
of cases of leucorrhoea. Homoeopathy supervenes the
treatment as it does not cause any harmful side effects, is
relatively cheaper than other systems of medicine as
well does not produce any unwanted hormonal
imbalance. Our aim is to substantiate the utility of
homoeopathic Constitutional medicines in LM potency in
treating Leucorrhoea through our observational study.
