Leucorrhea is colorless and transparent, and has no peculiar smell. Female friends will show increased endocrine in the early stages of pregnancy, but it will not have color or peculiar smell.

1. Is it normal to have yellow discharge in early pregnancy?

Yellow discharge in early pregnancy is abnormal and may be a sign of vaginitis. If candidal vaginitis is accompanied by bacterial infection, yellow discharge will also appear, but the vulvar itching will be more severe. If there is yellow discharge with a foul odor and accompanied by vulvar itching, it may be bacterial vaginitis or Trichomonas vaginitis. Therefore, there are many types of vaginitis, and you must go to the hospital as soon as possible to do leucorrhea testing and treatment. Vaginal medications for the treatment of vaginitis have little effect on pregnancy, but if you get vaginitis after becoming pregnant, it will have a great impact on the pregnancy and may cause miscarriage and cessation of fetal development.

2. Treatment of vaginitis in pregnant women

1. Vaginal Candida vaginitis during pregnancy

Generally speaking, no treatment is needed during the first 3 months of pregnancy. If the condition develops seriously, the doctor will use medication to treat it as appropriate after 3 months of pregnancy, which will not cause infection to the fetus. It is usually cured before delivery. (However, sometimes the fetus has local infection in the eyes or mouth after delivery. This may be caused by a small amount of Candida infection when the fetus passes through the birth canal during delivery. The doctor will immediately treat the newborn.)

When treating vaginal candidal vaginitis during pregnancy, it is important to choose the right medication and method of administration. Oral medications have the risk of causing fetal teratogenicity, so local treatment is best used. Nystatin suppositories can also be used for local treatment in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. If the vulva itching is severe, do not scratch it or scrub it with hot water. You can apply local wet compress with lotion. Change your underwear frequently. Mold is relatively resistant to dryness, ultraviolet rays and chemicals, but is afraid of high temperatures. Therefore, it is best to soak or boil the underwear you take off in hot water above 60℃ every day to disinfect it.

2. Trichomonas vaginitis during pregnancy

As with vaginal candidal vaginitis, doctors do not recommend treatment during the first three months of pregnancy. Afterwards, the doctor will prescribe safe medication for the pregnant woman based on the severity of the disease. The gynecologist removes a small amount of secretion from the posterior fornix and tests it to detect Trichomonas. The specific drug for treating trichomoniasis is metronidazole, but taking metronidazole in early pregnancy may cause fetal malformations. Metronidazole can also enter the fetus through the placenta, so it is generally recommended that it should not be taken before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Local treatment can be used for treatment.
