Depends on cause: Leukorrhea (aka leucorrhoea) is a whitish to yellowish vaginal discharge. It may be "physiologic," meaning a response to normal, cyclic changes in female hormones. However, it can also come from infection in the vagina, cervix or even the ovaries & tubes. Only a physical exam can tell you for sure. If you notice a bad odor, itching, pain or deeply colored discharge, you need to see a doctor.
