Does pregnancy cause more vaginal discharge?

Will a woman's vaginal discharge increase after pregnancy? It is normal for women to have a slight increase in secretions during puberty, pregnancy or in the middle and late stages of their menstrual period, and there is no need to be too anxious. After a woman becomes pregnant, the amount of estrogen in her body gradually increases. Estrogen will promote the secretion of the cervical gland ducts and uterine wall gland ducts, resulting in increased secretion of vaginal mucus. Therefore, many pregnant women will find that their secretions are more than before.

Generally speaking, women have leucorrhea. Especially for women who are pregnant, the amount of secretions may be more, which is also very normal. In early pregnancy, there may also be problems with discharge.

The appearance of secretions is because the pregnant mother herself is exposed to estrogen and its stimulation, there will be problems such as mucosal hematoma in the vagina, the extravasation of secretions will be more, and the metabolism of the pregnant mother's cervical canal will also be more. If the pregnant mother finds that her secretions have no odor, then it is normal and there is no need to worry too much.

Compared to the stage before pregnancy, women's secretions during pregnancy will be more and may be thicker. In the early stages of pregnancy, women's secretions will appear light yellow, which is normal.

Increased blood sugar in early pregnancy can easily cause some inflammation. In order to better prevent infectious diseases, pregnant mothers still need to understand some common vaginitis problems first.

1. Bacterial infection of vaginitis. When pregnant mothers find that the secretions have a peculiar smell, a fishy smell, and are yellowish and grayish white, it is likely that there is bacterial vaginitis. This condition is caused by an imbalance of beneficial bacteria in the vagina. If you encounter this problem, you must seek treatment from a doctor and apply medication regularly to solve the problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will infect the pelvis and easily cause miscarriage.

2. Fungal infection. If a pregnant mother has a fungal infection, abnormalities may also be found in her secretions. If the color of the secretion is abnormal and there is leucorrhea that looks like curd residue, it may be caused by fungal infection. Fungal infection of the private parts can cause itching in women. The treatment of fungal infection problems cannot be ignored. In treatment, attention should be paid to keeping the private parts clean and dry, and medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor. It is recommended that pregnant mothers wear more cotton underwear, as this type of material has better water absorption capacity.

The change in secretions in early pregnancy is actually a reflection of a woman's vulva health. If problems such as vulvar itching occur, they must not be ignored. Pay attention to timely and regular check-ups and receive medication treatment. In treatment, we must be sufficiently careful and continue to treat the disease to quickly curb the aggravation of the disease. I hope that all pregnant mothers can avoid the confusion of secretion problems.
