40 weeks pregnant with mucus-like discharge

During the 40th week of pregnancy, secretions are like runny nose, which is a normal phenomenon. Since this is already the delivery period, the cervix is ​​in a state of expansion and there will be a lot of secretions. During this period, the embryo and fetus will continue to separate, and bleeding may occur at this time, which is a normal phenomenon.

During this period, you should pay attention to observe whether there is any abdominal pain or hard stomach. If this symptom occurs, it means that there are uterine contractions, and when there are uterine contractions, the baby will be born soon. However, latent uterine contractions are not likely to lead to the birth of the fetus. The uterine contractions must be periodic and become pathological before the fetus can be successfully delivered. During the pathological uterine contractions, it is necessary to pay attention to observe the changes in the fetal heartbeat.

The secretion changes like crystal jelly and runny nose. Under normal circumstances, it is considered to be due to ovulation. During ovulation, due to changes in hormones in the body, the secretion volume increases, and the properties of the secretions change, mainly showing transparency and increased elasticity, a transparent crystal jelly-like change that lasts about 3-7 days. After ovulation, the secretions become milky white or creamy white, and the degree of transparency decreases. Under pathological conditions, if you suffer from vaginitis or inflammation of the cervix or uterus, the amount of secretions will increase. If the number of dead white blood cells in the secretions increases, crystal jelly runny discharge is likely to occur. The inflamed area is often accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, such as lower abdominal pain, genital itching, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time for vaginal discharge and B-ultrasound and other corresponding examinations to find out the cause of the disease and seek timely treatment.

Normal leucorrhea for women is colorless, transparent or light yellow. The presence of crystal jelly or runny discharge can be considered as the woman's ovulation period. The mucus plug blocking the cervix falls off, and when it is discharged, it is also crystal jelly and runny. This is normal and does not need to be treated. This type of discharge can occur when the vaginal intestinal flora is imbalanced and is not accompanied by odor. It is mainly caused by excessive cleaning. In most cases, it is caused by inflammation of the reproductive area. Women suffer from bacterial vaginitis or candidal vaginitis. The bacteria proliferate in the female vagina and irritate the vaginal mucosa, causing secretions like jelly and runny nose, accompanied by itching and odor. The secretions from diffuse pelvic effusion or pelvic subcutaneous abscess are thick, nasal-like, and may be accompanied by a foul odor. Inflammation of the cervix can also cause jelly, runny nose-like discharge, endometritis, and inflammatory irritation can cause purulent discharge from the vagina.
