This study aims to determine the relationship between vulva hygiene and leucorrhea incidence at Senior High School 6 Bau-Bau. This research used a cross-sectional from June-July 2019. The data were collected using a questionnaire on 48 students of class XI at Senior High School 6 Bau-Bau using a consecutive sampling technique. Data analysis used the chi-square test with a significance level of α less than 0.05. The results showed that vulva hygiene was less than 60.4%, and leucorrhea incidence was 79.2%.
