1. What should I do if my leucorrhea is abnormal in early pregnancy?

1. Prepare your own special cleaning basin and special cotton towel. The cleaning basin should be cleaned before use, and the cotton towel should be dried or dried in a cool place after use, because the cotton towel cannot see the sun for a long time, which can easily breed bacteria and fungi.

2. Gently wash the vulva with warm water every night.

(1) It is best to use a shower and wash with warm water. If there is no shower facility, you can use a basin instead, but it should be a special basin for special purposes. It is best to clean the private parts with warm water. Hot water can easily aggravate inflammation. You can also use neutral, acidic or soap-free cleansing utensils. Do not use disinfectant to irrigate the vagina, so as not to destroy the normal acidity and alkalinity and beneficial bacteria in the vagina.

(2) Wash your hands first, then wash the vulva from head to toe, then wash the labia majora and minora, and finally wash the area around the anus and the anus.

(3) You can use hygienic genital hygiene products that can remove dirt and sterilize, but under normal circumstances, cold water is enough.

3. After defecation, cultivate the habit of wiping the anus from front to back with toilet paper to prevent the transmission of anal bacteria to the vagina and urethra, and clean or wash the anus with warm water.

4. Use cotton fabric, or at least pure cotton at the bottom, which is gentle and relatively loose. Wear boxer briefs or even no underwear when sleeping to let your private parts breathe fresh air. Wear less tight pants or tight leather pants. Try to reduce long periods of sitting to reduce the chance of getting your genitals wet and hot. Use less sanitary napkins, sanitary napkins, and handkerchiefs that contain fragrances and colors, as these things may be the culprit of inflammation of the skin in private parts.

2. Causes of abnormal leucorrhea during early pregnancy

1. Mycoplasma infection: It is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases at this stage. After infection, thick secretions with a pungent smell will appear. After a pregnant woman is infected, it is best to receive medical treatment to prevent the eyes from being infected and injured when the fetus passes through the birth canal.

Currently, the most effective drugs for treating mycoplasma are tetracycline and erythromycin. The former will affect the teeth and bones of the fetus. In other words, the use of erythromycin is a better choice, and the sexual partner must receive treatment at the same time to be cured.

2. Vaginal yeast infection: There will be watery vaginal discharge with a foul odor, and the private parts will also become itchy or painful. Most of these infections are transmitted through sexual intercourse and are considered by public health experts to be sexually transmitted diseases. In other words, it is best for the sexual partner to receive treatment at the same time to eliminate the disease. The inconvenience is that this type of infection generally does not cause uncomfortable symptoms in men, so men are not very willing to receive treatment.

3. Candida albicans infection: Candida albicans is a kind of fungus, which is extremely tenacious and likes hot, humid and cold natural environments. Pregnant women have more female secretions and contain more sugar, which makes it easy for Candida albicans to multiply. Therefore, pregnant women are very susceptible to Candida albicans infection, and once infected, it is difficult to recover.

At present, it is believed that although Candida albicans infection does not cause much harm to the fetus, of course during delivery, the baby's mouth may be infected and cause ulcers, which is generally called "thrush". Therefore, pregnant women with Trichomonas infection should use medication to control it to prevent the baby from being infected when passing through the birth canal. As everyone knows, oral antibiotics may affect the fetus, so only vaginal suppositories and plasters can be used for treatment.

4. Gonorrhea infection: The symptoms are similar to mycoplasma infection. The fetus may also be infected when passing through the birth canal. Therefore, it is best to receive complete treatment before delivery. If the sexual partner receives penicillin treatment at the same time, the effect will be better.
