What to do if the discharge is yellow during pregnancy

Pregnant women have yellow discharge during pregnancy, which can make many women nervous, fearing that they may have some gynecological diseases. There are many reasons for this situation. For example, during pregnancy, the hormones in the body of pregnant women will undergo obvious changes, which can easily lead to this situation. In addition, we know that pregnant women have increased vaginal discharge during pregnancy. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene at this time, it can easily lead to some inflammation.

What to do if the discharge is yellow during pregnancy

After pregnancy, the corpus luteum of the ovary secretes a large amount of estrogen and progesterone to maintain the implantation and development of the fertilized egg. After 12 weeks, the placenta is formed, which gradually replaces the corpus luteum and continues to synthesize large amounts of estrogen and progesterone. Therefore, the pregnant woman's body always maintains a high estrogen and progesterone state.

Estrogen- and progesterone-dependent cells undergo significant changes: the vulvar tissue becomes soft and moist, the vaginal epithelium thickens, the blood vessels become congested, the exudate and desquamated cells increase, the cervix becomes enlarged, soft, and congested, and the glands secrete more vigorously. The secretions of the cervical glands, vaginal exudate and exfoliated cells mix together to form leucorrhea, which will be continuously discharged from the body during pregnancy. If the leucorrhea increases after pregnancy and is accompanied by vulvar itching and a special odor, you should go to the hospital for examination.

Early pregnancy is a very important stage in a woman's pregnancy. Problems that arise during this phase often lead to some pregnancy symptoms throughout the pregnancy. Therefore, some issues at this stage need to be handled carefully.

During early pregnancy, if a woman has vaginal discharge of a strong color, a bad odor, or vaginal itching during the first three months of pregnancy, she should seek treatment. If the amount of vaginal discharge is large but has no odor, no itching, and no special color (such as red, brown, or yellow-green), this is a normal symptom of pregnancy and does not require special treatment. However, if the vaginal discharge has more color, odor, or vaginal itching, please go to the hospital for treatment in time. There are many pathogenic bacteria that can cause infection. Different pathogens have different treatments. The diagnosis can only be confirmed by clinical examination.
