Can Excessive White Discharge Be Treated With Home Remedies?

Hi there,
I have a very embarrassing problem. I follow a proper feminine hygiene( no harsch soaps, no douching as it kills the good bacteria), but every now and then I have a whiteish discharge.. and smells like onions. I cook with lots of onions, maybe that's the problem or the discharge's causing the smell.. What home remedies can you recommend? Is the gynaecologist expensive if I only got medicare? Thank you, regards Katarina.

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some bacterial vaginosis or some fungal infection. It is the common cause of whitish discharge. You should take antibiotics like metronidazole plus antifungal drug. However it is prescription based medicine so you should consult your gynecologist and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.

Dear
whitish discharge is common problem regarded as leucorrhoea in women. This is very easily cured with herbal medicines. There are number of astringent herbs that cure the flow of this discharge. Lodhra, Maju, ashoka etc are very commonly used. A compound called pushyanug churan cures it easily. Use of egg shell bhasam cures it.
In regard to your concern for home remedy use of turmeric , betel nut { Supari} and seeds of black berry[ jamun] will offer relief.
