Abstract:
The most frequent cause of genital discharge in women is an infection or colonization with different microorganisms, including sexually transmitted pathogens. Mechanical or chemical irritations are additional causes. Malignant diseases can also cause increased discharge. For this reason, especially postmenopausal and brown, bloody discharges should be differentiated and if necessary, histologically confirmed. Due to the variety of causes, a symptomatic treatment should not be prescribed without prior diagnosis.
