Leucorrhoea is one of the most common and burning problems faced by women all around the globe. It may be physiological but when turning into a pathological condition, produce associated symptoms like itching vulva, backache, and anxiety to female suffering from the entity. Various factors like fungal, parasite, bacterial, and sex- ually transmitted diseases are responsible for the causation of this disease. In Ayurveda, it is termed as Sweta pra- dara. It can be a symptom of many diseases as well as an independent entity. No description of Sweta Pradara has been described by scholars of Brihatrayee. For abnormal white vaginal discharges, the word Sweta Pradara has been described in texts during and after the medieval period. The present study has been designed to substantiate the aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and treatment of sweta pradara so that alternative better forms of therapy can be made available in those suffering from Sweta pradara.Keywords: Sweta Pradara, Leucorrhoea, Yonivyapad.
