Abstract : Leukorrhea frequently affects the majority of females. One of the main causes of illness in underdeveloped nations is reproductive tract infections. The prevalence of leukorrhea was determined to be 66.9%. It was discovered that 48% of women are between the ages of 23 to 32. The study is being conducted at the Sree Ramakrishna Medical College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences and Hospital in Kulasekharam, Tamil Nadu, India, and involves female responders between the ages of 18 and 25. After explaining the purpose of the study, verbal consent was obtained. This study included thirty respondents. The questionnaire consisted of thirty questions. Female volunteers who were unwilling or uncooperative were then removed from the study. The study came to the following conclusions: the respondents' level of education, cleanliness, water consumption, consumption of nutritious foods and rest, and the absence of counseling services and adequate infrastructure. To improve the general health and well-being of young girls, future treatment should concentrate on these areas.

Keywords : Abnormal Vaginal Discharge, Lower Abdominal Pain, Stress, Leukorrhoea.
