Maybe: By definition leukorrhea would be a discharge of a whitish material from the vagina. It can be hormonal and benign or a sign of a internal problem. It can come and go. The worrisome forms tend to increase & change color & odor over time.

Discharge : Vaginal discharge requires an examination to determine the cause and treatment. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause and often has a vaginal odor. Vaginal itching can be a sign of a yeast infection. Sometimes vaginal discharge can be a sign of a sexual transmitted infection. Testing is important to determine the treatment and keep you and your partner safe.
