General Notes

• Potency: 30C is standard for acute or moderate cases; 200C for constitutional treatment under supervision.
• Prescription basis: The totality of symptoms (physical generals, mentals, peculiar symptoms) guides remedy selection — not the discharge character alone.
• Miasmatic consideration: Chronic/recurrent leucorrhea may require anti-psoric (Sulphur, Calc Carb), anti-sycotic (Thuja, Natrum Sulph), or anti-syphilitic (Merc, Nitric Acid) treatment.
• Intercurrent remedies: Thuja, Sulphur, or Medorrhinum are used as intercurrents for stubborn or recurrent cases.

Important: Homeopathic medicines should be selected based on individualization. Persistent or foul-smelling discharge warrants conventional medical evaluation to rule out infections (bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis, trichomonas, STIs) or cervical pathology.
