Definition

Noun: 1. Leucorrhoea (Leukorrhea): A medical condition characterized by a whitish, viscous, and sometimes opaque discharge from the vagina or uterus. The discharge may occasionally contain pus. 2. The discharge itself: The specific whitish, sticky fluid secreted by the uterus, vagina, or vulva, often associated with infection or inflammation.

  • Triệu chứng phổ biến của viêm nhiễm là huyết bạch có mùi khó chịu. (A common symptom of infection is leucorrhoea with an unpleasant odor.)
  • Bác sĩ chẩn đoán cô ấy bị bệnh huyết bạch. (The doctor diagnosed her with leucorrhoea.)

Advanced Usage

Notes on Usage

• "Huyết bạch" is a technical noun. It is not used as a verb or adjective.
• The word is compound, formed from "huyết" (blood) and "bạch" (white), but it specifically refers to a white discharge, not a bloody one. The "huyết" component historically relates to gynecological conditions.
