Commonly known as whites, refers to a whitish discharge from the female genitals.
A gynecologic disorder resulting in abnormal, thick, whitish, non-bloody discharge from the genital tract (uterus of vagina).
An excessive discharge of white mucus from the vagina.
Discharge of mucus from the vagina. This may be whitish or yellowish and is normal in some women, usually increasing before and after menstruation. It is distinct from abnormal discharges with an offensive smell and yellow or green coloration: these may be caused by microorganisms or by fungal infection such as Candida albicans. Another causative agent is the protozoan parasite, Trichomonas vaginalis. A pessary or tampon that has been forgotten will cause a substantial and offensive discharge. Children rarely have vaginal discharge; if they do, it is usually due to an infection, or to a foreign body in the vagina.
