What is the cause of leucorrhea during pregnancy?

Many women see that they have leucorrhea when they first become pregnant, and then they keep worrying, fearing that this symptom will have any impact on their fetus. When pregnant women have leucorrhea, the color of leucorrhea is different according to their physical constitution. Leucorrhea in pregnant women may be physiological, but if it is too much, it cannot be ruled out that this symptom is pathological. So let's take a look at what is going on with leucorrhea during pregnancy?

Not only will women have leucorrhea after pregnancy, but due to physiological changes, the amount of leucorrhea will increase significantly. You can learn about the specific reasons why this happens in this article.

Women will have leucorrhea when they are pregnant. Under normal circumstances, as a woman becomes pregnant, the estrogen in her body will slowly increase, and the leucorrhea will become more and more. Because the blood flow in the genitals, vagina and uterus of pregnant women is vigorous and the water content in the tissues increases, the secretions will also increase. The further the pregnancy progresses, the more vaginal discharge will occur. Many pregnant women will always feel uncomfortable and damp in their genitals, but if no other symptoms occur, it is normal. Just make sure to clean it carefully.

The amount of vaginal discharge during pregnancy is related to the hormones in the body, but the amount of vaginal discharge will not simply increase, and the color will not be white, and the smell will also change. If the amount of vaginal discharge during pregnancy increases and is accompanied by vulvar itching and a strange odor, it may be a sign of a disease, and you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

In addition to the symptoms of leucorrhea, physiological changes in early pregnancy may also include cessation of menstruation, increased vaginal discharge, and bleeding. Although the amount of vaginal discharge will increase in the early stages of pregnancy, it will not be abnormal. If the amount of vaginal discharge increases significantly, or if the color, odor, or texture of the discharge is abnormal, it means that there is something wrong with your health and you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

1. A small amount of bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy can cause the leucorrhea to be brown, which is also a normal phenomenon. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time.

2. The leucorrhea in early pregnancy is generally transparent and watery, and occasionally light yellow. It is normal to have no odor. If your vulva doesn't itch and your vaginal discharge doesn't have any odor, there's no need to worry.

3. If the leucorrhea is white, paste-like or translucent egg white-like, sticky and odorless, then it is normal and is a manifestation of abundant kidney Qi and healthy spleen Qi.

4. If you experience itching or pain in the vulva, yellow leucorrhea, strange odor, or other symptoms, you need to go to the hospital for treatment. These may be caused by vulvar or vaginal diseases. If left unchecked, it may affect the growth and development of the fetus.

Often when women are pregnant, they will feel psychological pressure because they will be very worried about the slightest abnormal reaction of the body. However, don't worry too much before understanding the truth of the symptom, as this is not good for the development of the fetus. Good care of life is the only thing you can do now to avoid infection in your private parts due to excessive leucorrhea, so you must clean it in time.
