It may be curable depending on the cause.

There are many causes of leukorrhea, the usual one being estrogen imbalance. The amount of discharge may increase due to vaginal infection or STDs, and also it may disappear and reappear from time to time, this discharge can keep occurring for years in which case it becomes more yellow and foul-smelling; it is usually a non-pathological symptom secondary to inflammatory conditions of vagina or cervix.

Vaginal discharge is not abnormal, and causes of change in discharge include infection, malignancy, and hormonal changes. It sometimes occurs before a girl has her first period, and is considered a sign of puberty.
Leukorrhea refers to a white to yellow vaginal discharge that can be normal, from a hormone imbalance, or from vaginal irritation/ inflammation. If it is normal (often called a "physiologic discharge") then not much can be done about it. If it is from hormone imbalances or irritation then it may be treatable. Pregnancy is a common cause and for that, obviously, the cure is to deliver the baby.
