RESUMEN
Shweta Pradara or excessive vaginal discharge is one of the commonest complaints among women of reproductive age group. An increase in the normal vaginal secretion develops physiologically at puberty, at ovulation, premenstrual phase and during pregnancy. Excessive discharge causes irritation and itching in the genetalia. Ayurveda explained this condition as Shweta Pradara. Shweta Pradara is a symptom which is present in most of the diseases or present as a complication. Shweta Pradara is not a disease it produces as a symptom, hence etiopathogenesis of principal disease and Shweta Pradara would be same. It is a Kaphaja disorder at the place of Apana Vayu.

RESUMEN
Leucorrhoea or vaginal discharge is generally whitish, yellowish or greenish vaginal discharge in females that might be normal or a symptom of infection. It is almost mucus discharge, which exhibit exfoliation of vaginal epithelial cells due to estrogen influence on the vaginal mucosa. It is important to identify the differences between physiological and pathological discharges. In Ayurveda, leucorrhoea is known as Shweta Pradara, where Shweta means white and Pradara mean discharge. Yoni vyapadas which are caused by Kapha or Vatakaphaja doshas are the main causative factors of Shweta pradara. It also depends on the Nidana which may lead to vitiation of any of the Doshas An attempt was made to manage Shweta pradara by Ayurvedic treatment protocol in dispensary at OPD level.
