10 FAQs About Leukorrhea
When Should I Call the Doctor?
Small amounts of clear or whitish discharge are normal in women of all ages. Leukorrhea lubricates the vagina and rids it and the cervix of dead cells. No treatment is necessary for physiological leukorrhea.
A doctor should be called if the discharge changes in color, odor, and volume or if symptoms of itching, burning, soreness, or swelling in the vaginal area occur. If a sexual partner reveals that they have been exposed to a sexually transmitted disease, it's critical to contact a physician.1’Vaginal Discharge.’ Cleveland Clinic. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/4719-vaginal-discharge
