Abstract

Leucorrhoea is a thick, whitish vaginal discharge. It is a symptom, not a disease. Subjectively and objectively it is an expression of some underlying disorder, either functional or organic. A comparative study was conducted to assess the knowledge and perception regarding leucorrhoea among 100 women of reproductive age group by using convenience sampling technique. The finding of the present study revealed that highly positive co- relation was found between knowledge and perception regarding leucorrhoea, r = 0.8 for rural area and r= 0.9 for urban area, indicated the highly positive co- relation between knowledge and perception regarding leucorrhoea. Hence it is further recommended to this study on large sample for better generalization. Similar study can be conductedby using qualitative approach using in-depth interviews and on OPD patients i.e. with leucorrhea.
