WHITE DISCHARGE is the most common problem nowadays among the working women. This is generally because of their mode of work and restlessness due to work load. More than 90% of working women have this problem and they don’t even have time to look over it.

Generally white discharge is of two types. They are Infectious and Non-infectious.
White discharge caused by infections must be treated immediately without fail. If left untreated it will cause foul smelling cloudy discharge along with an itching sensation. Further the infection may spread to the internal organs like uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, etc causing severe backache, profuse bleeding along with white discharge etc.

Non-infectious white discharge is generally due to the mode of work, life style, tension, mode of diet, climatic changes, hygienic conditions, anemia, etc.

Generally non-infectious white discharge is difficult to treat.

As per my vision non-infective white discharge is somewhat tough to treat because of the non-cooperative mentality of the patients. It is so because it takes a lot of time to control it. A minimum period of six months is required for SIDDHA treatment. Generally ladies don’t have the mentality to take medicines for such a long period. But in this case it is a must to take medicine for a long period. Then only the total metabolic activity is regulated and the vatha, pittha and kapha in the body are maintained as it is so that full cure is attained.

According to SIDDHA principle non-infective white discharge is caused mainly due to stress and tension, sleeplessness, change in body temperature mainly due to the changes in pitha, change in eating habit, eating certain type of food stuffs that increase the body temperature, hygienic conditions, excessive heat produced by walking long distances in heat without using chapels, excessive intercourse, having sex with infected persons, etc.

Infective white discharge is mainly caused by yeast, bacteria and trichomonas. The major symptoms are itching, curd like or yellowish foul smelling discharge, lower abdomen (stomach) pain, painful urination, painful intercourse, etc.

As per my vision infective white discharge is easy to treat with SIDDHA medicine and a 100% result can be attained with a good co-operative patient. A 40 days course of medicine is enough to treat infective white discharge. In some cases it is a must to treat the partner also to prevent further infections.

Most of the patients are shy to express the major symptoms. They think it as a great sin and are afraid to discuss about this matter frankly. They keep it as a great secret until it goes out of control and make the treatment more complicated. If treated early it will be easy to treat and the results will be quicker. So ladies don’t be shy to discuss about white discharge. If present treat it as early as possible so that the treatment is simple and the results are quicker.

To stop recurrent infections follow the rules below.

1. Don’t use soap to wash the pubic area frequently. Just wash with mild hot water and dry it with a soft, clean and dry towel.
