White discharge from the vagina during pregnancy

If a pregnant woman has white secretions in her private parts during pregnancy, it is generally a normal physiological phenomenon and you don't need to worry too much. Especially during pregnancy, due to hormones, the secretions in the private parts of pregnant women will increase. At this time, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of the private parts. If you don't pay attention, it can easily lead to some gynecological inflammation, which will have an adverse effect on pregnancy conditioning and the health of pregnant women.

White discharge from the vagina during pregnancy

During pregnancy, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, due to the rapid increase in hormones, the body's metabolism is vigorous, and the vaginal epithelial cells and cervical glands secrete vigorously, resulting in increased vaginal secretions. It manifests as vaginal discharge in the genitals. Vaginal discharge is usually milky white, odorless and non-irritating. It is one of the signs of reproductive system health and is by no means unclean. Expectant mothers don't need to panic or over-clean.

Clinically, some expectant mothers experience a small amount of watery fluid flowing out of their vagina, some of which may be water breaking, and some may be the discharge of leucorrhea-like substance. Expectant mothers who experience the above symptoms should go to a doctor in person to confirm whether their water has broken, in order to prevent secondary infection once their water has broken and a small amount of watery substances often flow out.

Some expectant mothers thought it was leucorrhea, so they did not take it seriously and thought it was urinary incontinence in the late pregnancy. They continued to wait for delivery at home. When delivery was really about to come, the fetus had already suffered a very serious intrauterine infection and secondary infection. This makes the fetus prone to secondary sepsis, even meningitis and other very serious consequences.

Therefore, expectant mothers in the late pregnancy must pay attention to vaginal discharge, even a small amount of watery liquid outflow should not be ignored.

Once this symptom is discovered, it is recommended that the expectant mother must stay in bed and rest, and it is best not to walk around. If necessary, expectant mothers are advised to take medication and suspend sexual intercourse in the late stages of pregnancy. Expectant mothers should try not to eat raw or cold foods and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

What does the vagina secrete during pregnancy?

The secretion is mainly leucorrhea. To evaluate whether the leucorrhea is normal, it is necessary to observe the quantity, color, texture and smell. Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell.

Why is the secretion of pregnant women other colors?

If an expectant mother finds that her leucorrhea is yellow and sticky, it may be due to infection with Candida albicans. Candida albicans exists in the vagina. Under normal circumstances, Candida albicans and good bacteria will maintain a balance. Once the resistance is reduced or overworked, the number of Candida albicans will increase, leading to infection. Candida albicans infection will cause discomfort to pregnant women, but will not affect the fetus.

Gynecologists say that Candida albicans is a type of fungus and a common vaginal infection during pregnancy. When infected with Candida albicans, the secretions will be yellow and sticky, similar to cheese, and symptoms such as itching in the perineum and redness of the vagina will appear. Even if cured, the chance of recurrence is still high, especially during pregnancy when the body's resistance is low.
