A quantitative survey method was employed, with 128 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant correlation between vaginal pH and leucorrhoea category (p-value = 0.000 < 0.05). Most respondents had normal vaginal pH and experienced physiological leucorrhoea.
