Home Remedies for Vaginal Discharge

Vaginal discharge is another common problem for females. There are some stages when this discharge is normal such as a few days after birth, while thinking about sex, during ovulation, pregnancy and intercourse. But this discharge is abnormal at other times and other associated symptoms such as heavy discharge with itching and irritation of the vulva, painful intercourse, green-white or any other coloured discharge, or foul smelling discharge is there. Such conditions can be there in trichomoniasis, candidiasis etc. In such cases, consult your doctor because immediate treatment is necessary. Cleanliness and hygiene is very necessary in such patients. Do not use each other's towels and do not let others use yours. Clean the area with Savlon or as recommended by the doctor. Avoid intercourse till you are perfectly fine. Water chestnut (singhara) is useful for patients of leucorrhoea (white discharge from the vagina). A dish (halwa) made from the flour of water chestnut taken daily for a few days helps cure white discharge from the vagina.
