Summary Table

General Prescribing Principles

1. Totality of symptoms — select the remedy matching the full symptom picture, not just the discharge alone.
2. Potency — 30C or 200C are commonly used; chronic cases may need higher potencies (1M).
3. Repetition — usually given 2–3 times daily in acute cases; weekly/monthly in constitutional prescribing.
4. Concomitants matter — associated symptoms (mood, thirst, thermal sensitivity, menses) guide the final selection.

Note: Homeopathic treatment for leucorrhoea should complement proper gynecological evaluation to rule out infections (bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis, trichomoniasis), sexually transmitted infections, or cervical pathology. Persistent or offensive discharge warrants laboratory investigation.
