The belief that passage of a 'whitish discharge' is associated with bodily complaints of weakness, tiredness, exhaustion, multiple aches, and multiple somatic complaints is known to be widely prevalent among Asian women. However, this aspect has not gained research attention. The case reported here illustrates how multiple somatic complaints, psychosomatic in nature, are attributed to the passage of white discharge and manifest as an abnormal illness behaviour.
