Abstract: Leucorrhea is a common gynecological concern among postmenopausal women, often resulting from infections, hormonal changes, or hygiene issues. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the effectiveness of salt solution wash versus warm water wash in reducing leucorrhea symptoms. Hence, sixty postmenopausal women were divided equally into two groups for a 7-day intervention. Results showed a significant reduction in symptoms in the salt wash group (p < 0.05), while warm water showed minimal improvement. Demographic factors such as residence, diet and hygiene knowledge were associated with outcomes. Salt wash demonstrated superior antimicrobial and cleansing effects. It offers a cost-effective, accessible hygiene intervention in resource-limited settings.
