Abstract

Leucorrhoea is one of the most common STI which remains untreated in majority of the patients and hence studied here. Materials and Methodology: A longitudinal study was conducted on 119 leucorrhoea patients selected by universal sampling method. Study participants were leucorrhoea patients attending STI clinic at an UHC, being administered syndromic management kit- 1 or 2 or both and willing to participate in the study and given informed consent. A microscopic examination of gram stain and wet mount of discharge was done. Study period was two months March 2012 to Apr 2012. Results and Conclusion: Relief of symptoms was found in 24.4% in current population. The most common infection among 119 women was bacterial vaginosis which was found in 47 (39.5%) women. Poor perineal hygiene was significantly associated with leucorrhoea; however marital status, sexual activity and literacy were not associated with it. The most common symptom associated with leucorrhoea was back pain (71.4%) followed by foul smelling discharge (40.3%) followed by Itching (35.3%). Perineal hygiene was found to be an important determinant of recovery of patient.
