Normal pictures of pregnancy secretions

During pregnancy, pregnant women are affected by growth hormone, and some incredible changes occur in the human body, such as increased secretions. Pregnant women will feel that their underwear is always wet and contains a lot of secretions. So is this normal? What should I do if I have excessive discharge during pregnancy?

Is it normal for pregnant women to have increased discharge?

During pregnancy, due to the effect of estrogen, the blood in the private parts, vagina, cervix and other parts of the pregnant woman accelerates, and the tissues contain more water, so the volume of secretions increases significantly, which is normal. Pay attention to the hygiene of your private parts and change your underwear frequently. If the leucorrhea is unusually large and accompanied by a foul odor, you should be alert to the occurrence of inflammation.

After pregnancy, the progesterone in the uterus and ovaries metabolizes a lot of female hormones and estrogens to maintain the embryo implantation and growth and development of the fertilized egg. After 12 weeks, the embryo is produced, which gradually replaces progesterone and produces a large amount of estrogen and estradiol again. Therefore, the pregnant woman's body continues to maintain a high estrogen and high estrogen state. As a result, estrogen and estrogen-dependent cells undergo significant changes. The blood flow in the private parts, vagina, cervix and other parts of the pregnant woman accelerates, the tissues contain more water, and the secretion of the cervical glands, vaginal secretions and fallen cells mix together to produce secretions, which will be continuously discharged from the body during pregnancy.

Generally, no special treatment is required, because the secretions are large, which often keep the vulva in a damp and cold environment, which is irritating to some skin. Therefore, pregnant women should pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, change underwear every day, keep underwear dry, and wash the vulva with warm water every day.

Therefore, it is normal for leucorrhea to increase after pregnancy. However, if there is a lot of leucorrhea during pregnancy and it is accompanied by vulvar itching and a strange odor, you should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination.

What should pregnant women do if their secretions increase?

During pregnancy, due to increased secretion of estrogen, the secretion of cervical glands is promoted, which secretes more thick mucus. Secondly, as the fetus grows, it presses on the pregnant mother's pelvis and vagina, causing the adjacent capillaries to dilate and swell, and also leading to increased vaginal mucosal secretions, so that the female secretions show a normal physiological state of relatively excited. Since it is not an infection, no treatment is needed.

It is normal to have a lot of vaginal discharge during pregnancy. Pregnant mothers can keep the area dry and clean by cleaning:

1. Clean the private parts with warm water every day to maintain the hygiene of the private parts, but do not clean the female vagina;

2. Use special towels and sinks to prevent cross infection;

3. Change your underwear every day, wash it and then dry it in the sun;

4. After each bowel movement, use a cotton pad soaked in boric acid to wipe from front to back, but discard the cotton pad that has been wiped once, and use a new cotton pad for the second wipe;

5. When the amount of leucorrhea increases during pregnancy, if you find any abnormal changes in its color, texture and smell, you must not ignore it. For the health of you and your baby, you should go to a reliable hospital in time for relevant regular examinations and treatments, because these symptoms are often a precursor to gynecological inflammation.
