Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the risk factors contributing to abnormal vaginal discharge in adolescent girls by integrating biological, hygienic, socio-cultural, economic, and psychological determinants. Unlike previous research on hormonal influences, this study offers a comprehensive perspective on how various factors affect adolescent reproductive health. Research Design and Methodology: This research employs a systematic literature review (SLR) approach to synthesize findings from scholarly articles published after 2018. Relevant studies were retrieved from Elsevier, Emerald, Wiley, and Springer databases. The analysis focuses on identifying dominant biological, behavioral, and environmental factors contributing to vaginal discharge among adolescent girls, along with potential interventions to mitigate health risks. Findings and Discussion: The results indicate that hormonal fluctuations during puberty influence vaginal microbiota and secretion levels, while poor hygiene practices, lack of reproductive health education, and socio-economic constraints exacerbate infection risks. Cultural stigmas surrounding menstruation and vaginal health further hinder adolescents from seeking timely medical attention. Additionally, stress and mental health issues contribute to hormonal imbalances, increasing susceptibility to abnormal discharge. These findings emphasize the interconnectedness of physiological, behavioral, and environmental factors in adolescent reproductive health. Implications: This study highlights the importance of comprehensive school reproductive health education, enhanced access to sanitary products, and reduced social stigmas through targeted public health campaigns. Policymakers should prioritize the affordability of sanitary products and ensure access to proper sanitation facilities, particularly in low-income communities. Future research should explore empirical approaches, including qualitative interviews and regional case studies, to further assess the lived experiences of adolescent girls in diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify and analyze in depth various factors causing pathological vaginal discharge in adolescent girls and evaluate its implications for reproductive health. The primary focus is on the interaction between biological aspects, personal hygiene behavior, social and cultural constructs, and access to health information and services. Research Method: This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a systematic literature review of national and international scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025. The analysis is conducted thematically to group the causal factors and analyze their interrelationships based on reliable academic references. Results and Discussion: Findings indicate that pathological vaginal discharge in adolescents is caused by a combination of hormonal changes, vaginal microflora imbalance, and poor hygiene practices, such as wearing tight pants and improper cleaning of the genital area. Cultural norms that taboo discussions about reproductive health further exacerbate delays in treatment. The lack of formal sexual education and access to youth-friendly health services are significant barriers to the prevention and management of vaginal discharge. Implications: This study emphasizes the importance of a holistic, intersectoral, and sustainable educational approach. Single interventions are insufficient to address this issue. Recommendations are directed toward integrating reproductive education into school curricula and providing inclusive and accessible adolescent health services.
