What is the cause of increased leucorrhea before delivery?

Whether during pregnancy or approaching delivery, patients need to pay attention. Among them, many pregnant women have increased vaginal discharge before delivery. At this time, they don’t know what is going on and are worried about whether it will affect the fetus. So they want to ask what is the reason for the increase in vaginal discharge before delivery? Let me give you a detailed introduction below. I hope that through the editor’s introduction, pregnant mothers can be prepared in advance.

Increased vaginal discharge before delivery may be a symptom of cervicitis, and sometimes it is the only symptom. Before treating cervicitis and cervical erosion, a clear diagnosis should be made by a doctor to rule out cervical precancerous lesions and early cervical cancer.

1. When the cervix is ​​eroded, the leucorrhea is usually yellow, sticky like pus, and odorless;

2. The leucorrhea of ​​trichomoniasis is pus-like. Before delivery, the leucorrhea increases, is yellow, has foam, or is like rice water, grayish white, and has a foul smell.

3. When you have candidal vaginitis, the amount of leucorrhea increases before delivery. The leucorrhea is yellow or white, mostly viscous, and sometimes thin. The typical leucorrhea is like tofu dregs or curds.

Therefore, pregnant women should be alert to the phenomenon of increased leucorrhea before delivery and should go to the hospital for examination in time.

1. Precautions before delivery: Generally, only one in ten babies give birth on time on the due date. Most babies give birth one week before or two weeks after the due date, which is all normal. New research shows that pregnancy should not exceed 41 weeks, because after 41 weeks the placenta begins to age, and the blood, oxygen and nutrition supply is insufficient, resulting in decreased function. Usually, if the menstrual cycle is normal and no labor symptoms appear after 41 weeks, efforts should be made to induce labor or perform a cesarean section.

2. Symptoms of labor: regular uterine contractions, some women feel back pain, some feel lower abdominal pain, this pain is bearable. At the beginning, the pain occurs every 10 minutes, and after 2 to 3 hours, it becomes every 5 minutes. When the pain interval becomes shorter and shorter, with the pain occurring every 2 minutes or so, it means that delivery is imminent. The cervical canal disappears before delivery. During pregnancy, the cervical canal is about 3 cm long. Two weeks before delivery, the cervical canal gradually shortens by 1.5 to 1 cm, and finally flattens and disappears. It takes about 10 to 12 hours for the cervix to dilate to 10 centimeters. The middle is divided by 3 cm. Before 3 cm, it dilates one centimeter every 2 hours. It takes a total of 6 hours from non-dilation to dilation. After 3 cm, it is the active period, dilating about 1.5 centimeters per hour. It takes 4 hours to grow from 3 cm to 10 cm. Generally, the pain is bearable before 3 cm, and worsens after 3 cm. When the cervix is ​​fully dilated, you will feel like you are going to defecate, and you can hold your breath after it is fully dilated (the doctor confirms that the uterus is fully dilated through rectal examination, and you can hold your breath forcefully during uterine contractions)

If there is an increase in leucorrhea before delivery, pregnant women must not be anxious, because it is especially important to stay calm at this time. This way you can avoid other problems and go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. Check your physical condition. This is equivalent to taking a reassurance pill and at the same time better prevent the occurrence of diseases.
