Leucorrhea

LEUCORRHOEA AND ITS HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES

Leucorrhoea, also known as white discharge, is the fluid secreted from tiny glands in the vagina and cervix. The vaginal secretions are naturally acidic,which not only helps in the prevention of infections but also promotes a good balance of bacteria needed to keep the vagina healthy. It also acts as a natural lubricant. However, sometimes the vagina’s natural balance can be disrupted due to various reasons and this fluid can change in consistency, colour, and odour, which most often is indicative of an underlying infection or a disease .You are more prone to infections before and during your periods as the pH (acidic) level of the vagina is at its lowest, which makes it easier for the bacteria to thrive. A thick whitish discharge from the vagina is referred to as Leucorrhea. Hormonal changes, diabetes, and anemia usually cause Leucorrhea. It is not a disease, but the product of disease, state or condition of the system.

What do different colors of vaginal discharge indicate?

1. Clear - Clear discharge usually has an egg white light consistency and it is considered as vagina’s healthy way of expelling dead cells and bacteria.It occurs when females are ovulating when there is a hormonal change in females body due to pregnancy, and when sexually stimulated.

2. Milky white - If vagianal discharge ranges from creamy white to milky white or any other shade of white then it is considered completely normal unless it has a foul smell or unusual consistency and itchyness.

3. Yellow to green - Light yellow discharge is considered normal because some time what you eat is influencing the colour of discharge but if your vaginal discharge is in the shade of dark yellow or green then it may be sign of an infection.

4. Pink - A pink discharge light blushy pink to deeper shades of pink signifies that your menstrual cycle is about to begin. Some women notice a pinkish discharge after intercourse too.Whereas in some cases a pink discharge indicates an underlying health condition.

5. Red or brown - Red or brown discharge is completely normal before, during, and right after your period. But if you see a red or brown discharge even after your period is over then it is not normal.Then this discharge might have an underlying health issue that needs to be ruled out.

6. Grey - If your vaginal discharge has changed from being clear or white to cloudy grey then you should immediately seek advice from your gynecologist.Grey discharge is the most common symptom of an infection called bacterial vaginosis. 

TYPES OF LEUCORRHOEA

Constipation

➡THE ROLE OF HOMEOPATHY IN CONSTIPATION.

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

Q. : What is the grand characteristic of the Bryonia constipation ?

A. : When it is due to dryness of the intestinal tract and the stools are large, dry and brown, as if burnt, and are passed with a great deal of difficulty, owing to an atony of the intestines.

Q. : How does it differ from Nux vomica ?

A. : Nux vom. produces an increased intestinal action, which is irregular, inharmonious and spasmodic, and this hinders rather than favors an evacuation.

Q. : What other drugs besides Bryonia have constipation with atony of the intestines ?

A. : Veratrum album and Opium.

Q. : To what is the constipation of Opium due ?

A. : To complete inactivity of the bowels, owing to a muscular paresis.

Under opium the faces become impacted and are passed in little, hard, dry, black balls, and there is absolutely no urging to stool.

Q. : How does Plumbum compare here ?

A. : Plumbum has stools consisting of hard, black balls, but there is some constriction of the rectum, showing that there is some activity of the muscles present.

Q. : What is the constipation of Alumina ?

A. : There is complete inertia of the rectum, so that the stool is expelled with great difficulty, no matter what the consistency of it is ; there is little or no urging to stool ; the stools may be dry, hard and knotty, like sheep dung, or soft ; constipation of children where the rectum is dry, hard, inflamed and bleeding.

Q. : To what is the constipation of Alumina due ?

A. : Both to dryness and inactivity of the rectum, producing the symptom that soft stools are expelled with difficulty.

Q. : What is the stool of Anacardium ?

A. : There is a sensation of a plug in the rectum, it seems powerless to expel the stool ; even a soft stool is expelled with difficulty.

Q. : What are the characteristic symptoms of Nux vomica in constipation ?

A. : Inactivity, with constant, ineffectual urging to stool.

The passages are incomplete and unsatisfactory, as if part remained behind.

Q. : How does Lycopodium compare here ?

A. : Lycopodium has ineffectual urging to stool, but under Lycopodium it is not due to irregular intestinal action, but to a constriction of the rectum.

Q. : How does Carbo vegetabilis compare here ?

A. : Carbo veg. also has ineffectual urging to stool, but here it is due to flatulence.

Q. : How is Nux vomica distinguished from Opium, Bryonia and Alumina ?
