Abstract

Sailanur rehm (leucorrhoea) is a gynaecological disorder from which a large number of women suffers. It is a broad term, not a single entity. In Unani system of medicine, discharges from cervix, uterus, and vagina other than blood are described as Sailanur rehm. It covers almost all types of genital tract infections.
