Vaginal discharge (medically known as leukorrhea), refers to the natural secretions that are released from a woman's vagina. These secretions are responsible for lubrication and the prevention of infection.
Abnormal leukorrhea may be caused by infections with bacteria, yeast, or other microorganisms. For example, many sexually transmitted diseases, which involve the transmission of viruses or bacteria and include diseases such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, are major causes of leukorrhea.
