Yellow green discharge in late pregnancy

In the late pregnancy, if there is yellow-green secretion, you should pay attention to it. It may be due to physiological reasons or it may be related to inflammation. The more common reason is hormonal reasons. Because in the late pregnancy, the degree of progesterone secretion will change, which can easily lead to such symptoms. Of course, some gynecological diseases such as Trichomonas vaginitis cannot be ruled out. Let us learn about this aspect.

1. Hormonal factors

Pregnant women will experience changes in hormone levels after pregnancy, with the greatest changes in progesterone and estrogen. In this case, it will affect the endocrine system, leading to abnormal leucorrhea. Normally, after pregnancy, the estrogen level in the body increases rapidly. In addition, progesterone will be secreted in large quantities, and the metabolism of pregnant women is vigorous at this time. As a result, the vaginal epithelial cells and cervical glands secrete vigorously, which will cause increased vaginal secretions in pregnant women.

2. Trichomonas vaginitis

During pregnancy, pregnant women not only have a high metabolism and accelerated metabolism of vaginal epithelial cells, but various bacteria and pathogens also have a good environment for reproduction and growth. If you are not careful at this time, it is very likely to induce various gynecological diseases.

Green leucorrhea in pregnant women is mostly a symptom of vaginitis. In addition to the candidal vaginitis mentioned above, several other types of vaginitis are also likely to cause changes in the color of leucorrhea, the most common ones are Trichomonas vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis, etc. The lactic acid bacteria in the vagina of pregnant women decreases, and the original balance of bacteria is broken. At this time, the pH value of the vagina will rise. This environment is very suitable for the growth of Trichomonas. Therefore, during pregnancy, pregnant women must take measures to prevent vaginitis.

3. Gynecological inflammation

Once a pregnant woman suffers from gynecological inflammation, it is bound to cause abnormal changes in leucorrhea, especially various types of vaginitis. In addition to the two types of vaginitis mentioned above, other vaginitis can also cause abnormal leucorrhea.

If the discharge is foamy and green in color, it can be basically determined to be Trichomonas vaginitis. This pathogen usually hides in the glands and vaginal folds and multiplies before and after menstruation. If women and pregnant women are not careful, they will become ill. Moreover, this pathogen will consume or engulf the glycogen in the vaginal epithelial cells, thereby hindering the production of lactic acid. Various pathogenic bacteria not only parasitize in the vagina, but also often invade the urethra or paraurethral glands.

The above is the relevant content about what causes yellow-green secretions in the late pregnancy. In short, yellow-green discharge in late pregnancy is a relatively normal phenomenon. If it is not too serious, no treatment is required. If it is serious, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up and pay attention to private hygiene! I hope this article can help everyone.
