There is blood in the vaginal discharge when I am pregnant with my second child

Since the national policy reform, more and more women are having a second child. The biggest change in a woman’s pregnancy is the cessation of menstruation. She also stops having leucorrhea and stops ovulating. Her previous state will only return to normal after she gives birth. However, some women experience more serious blood in their leucorrhea when they are pregnant with their second child. What is going on? If there is blood, women should be alert to the possibility of threatened miscarriage and seek medical attention immediately.

Will I still have leucorrhea when I am pregnant?

Leucorrhea can not only maintain the normal ecological balance of the vagina, but also keep the vagina moist, which helps the sexual life of women of childbearing age to proceed smoothly. So will I still have leucorrhea when I am pregnant? Women will have leucorrhea during pregnancy, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.

Generally speaking, after a woman becomes pregnant, under the influence of estrogen and progesterone secreted by the placenta, the vaginal mucosa becomes congested and edematous, and its appearance becomes purple-blue. The vaginal folds increase, and the condition becomes soft and elastic, with an increased surface area. At this time, the permeability of the vaginal mucosa increases, and the exudate increases significantly than when not pregnant. At the same time, the glandular secretions of the cervical canal increase, so the vaginal secretions will be more and may be thicker than usual. It is normal for the leucorrhea to be transparent, watery, and occasionally light yellow and have no odor. If the vulva does not itch and the leucorrhea does not have an odor, there is no need to worry. This is a normal physiological change and no treatment is required. However, if you experience vulva itching and pain, yellow leucorrhea, strange smell, or other symptoms, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.

What causes brown vaginal discharge during early pregnancy?

1. Threatened abortion

The main symptoms are bleeding or brown leucorrhea in the early stages of pregnancy. In the stage of threatened abortion, vaginal bleeding is generally less and the abdominal pain is mild. If there is no abnormality in the fetal development, the bleeding will stop after pregnancy preservation treatment and the pregnancy can continue.

2. Ectopic pregnancy

That is, ectopic pregnancy. When an ectopic pregnancy occurs, vaginal bleeding usually occurs about 40 days after the menstruation stops, and is often accompanied by dull pain, bloating, and heaviness in the lower abdomen.

3. Hydatidiform mole

Pregnant women with hydatidiform mole experience bleeding later than miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy, usually around 3 months.

4. The pregnant woman herself suffers from vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endometrial lesions, tumors, etc.

Once a pregnant woman finds that her leucorrhea is brown, she must go to the hospital for a routine leucorrhea examination in time to rule out some abnormal conditions.
