阴道分泌物是一种民间疾病，其特征是过度关注通过的（正常）阴道分泌物，并相信其症状是由此引起的，对与阴道分泌物相关的躯体化的外行解释和归因模式，在 200 名主要躯体症状的连续女性患者和 138 名正常健康女性中进行了系统调查。患有躯体疾病的女性报告的错误归因频率是正常女性的 3.5 倍。十六名女性绝对确信她们的分泌物完全是造成她们症状和疾病的原因。因此，与阴道分泌物相关的躯体化似乎是有躯体症状的女性中常见的未被发现的问题。
Lay explanations and attributional patterns about somatization related to vaginal discharge, a folk illness characterized by undue concern about passing (normal) vaginal discharge and believing that their symptoms are caused by this, were surveyed systematically in 200 consecutive women patients with predominant somatic complaints and 138 normal healthy women. Misattribution was reported 3.5 times more often by women with somatic complaints as compared to the normal women. Sixteen women were absolutely certain that their discharge was totally responsible for their symptoms and illness. Thus, somatization related to vaginal discharge seems to be a frequent undetected problem in women with somatic symptoms.
