Causes and treatment of green vaginal discharge in pregnant women

Pregnant women often have many abnormal symptoms. Just looking at the leucorrhea is enough to make many women panic. Some women have green leucorrhea. Many pregnant women have this phenomenon, and green leucorrhea is obviously abnormal, because women's normal leucorrhea is white. Pregnant women should not panic when encountering such a situation, otherwise they will use drugs to treat themselves randomly, which is very bad for the fetus. So let's take a look at the reason why the leucorrhea of ​​pregnant women is green? What should I do?

1. In the early stages of pregnancy, due to the rapid increase in hormones, it is normal for vaginal secretions to increase. Therefore, increased leucorrhea in the early stages of pregnancy is also a normal reaction. If the vulva is not itchy and the leucorrhea has no odor, there is no need to worry. However, if you experience vulvar itching and pain, yellow leucorrhea, strange smell, or other symptoms, you need to go to the hospital for medical treatment. This may be caused by vulvar or vaginal diseases. If left unchecked, it may affect the growth and development of the fetus.

2 It is abnormal for pregnant women to have yellow leucorrhea with an odor. It is usually caused by vaginal Trichomonas infection, which will cause watery leucorrhea with a foul odor, and itching or pain in the vagina. Trichomonas is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, but can also be transmitted through indirect contact. Swimming pools, bathing pools and especially ponds can become places for the transmission of Trichomonas and cause yellow leucorrhea during pregnancy. It is also possible for a mother to infect her newborn with trichomoniasis.

3. Unpleasant smells will affect the development of the fetus. For pregnant women, due to the decrease of lactic acid bacteria in the vagina during pregnancy, the original balance of flora is broken, the pH value of the vagina will rise, which is suitable for the growth of Trichomonas, and thus they will often be infected with Trichomonas vaginitis. Therefore, yellow leucorrhea during pregnancy will affect the normal development of the fetus.

4. Yellow leucorrhea with odor after pregnancy not only causes unbearable itching of the vulva, affecting life and energy, but also may affect pregnancy if not treated in time, causing premature rupture of membranes, premature birth, etc. Yellow leucorrhea during pregnancy is likely to cause fetal infection. After the fetus is infected, erythema will appear on the skin, and yellow needle-like spots will appear on the umbilical cord. If the fetus is delivered vaginally, 2/3 of the newborns will develop the disease. Yellow leucorrhea during pregnancy may also cause thrush and red buttocks.

Many expectant mothers will experience abnormal vaginal discharge and vaginal itching in the early or mid-pregnancy. This is related to the hormone level. However, once there is odorous or yellow-green vaginal discharge, you should be cautious about the possibility of vaginitis.

The examination of vaginitis requires routine examination of leucorrhea and bacterial culture. Once diagnosed, regular systemic treatment with topical medications should be started immediately to prevent recurrence. The main harm of vaginitis is that it can easily cause miscarriage in early pregnancy. In late pregnancy, it can cause the baby to be infected when passing through the birth canal during delivery, and respiratory and eye infections after birth. Therefore, it is recommended to check the routine of leucorrhea. If infection is found, it should be treated as soon as possible.

The above introduces the reasons why pregnant women’s leucorrhea is green, as well as some related treatment methods. I believe that if the leucorrhea is green, even non-pregnant women will start to worry, let alone pregnant women. However, in life, every abnormal symptom must be clearly understood before the cause can be treated in time. If the leucorrhea is green, some related care should be done in life, and your private parts should be cleaned at any time.
