Abstract: Leucorrhea is as a matter of fact, not a disease but a symptom only. It is important to know that in health also there is certain amount of discharge present in the vagina. The chief source of the cervical glands that pour out a glair mucoid secretion which is definitely alkaline in reaction with a Ph value of 7.5-7.8. This secretion provides a natural defense barrier against the ascending infection, because this secretion contains a bactericidal action. The physiologic basis involved in normal secretions is dependent on the estrogen level. With the rising estrogen level, there is abundant secretary activity of endo-cervical glands and the superficial vaginal epithelium becomes rich in glycogen. The glycogen loaded epithelium shades; the glycogen being converted into lactic acid by the Dandelions' bacilli. As result the vaginal Ph became acidic.
