How to deal with yellow leucorrhea in pregnant women

In the early stages of pregnancy, there will often be some changes in leucorrhea, especially in texture, which will become slightly thicker and the amount slightly larger than before. This is mainly due to the influence of hormones, but why does leucorrhea turn yellow?

If you notice an increase in vaginal discharge or a change in the consistency of your discharge before you are 37 weeks pregnant, such as if it becomes thin, mucus-like, or has a bloody tint -- even if it's only light pink or dark brown -- see your doctor right away. This could be a sign of premature labor.

You should also contact your doctor if you suspect you have an infection. If your vaginal discharge is odorless, has yellow-white clumping, and is causing you discomfort (such as itching or burning in your vulva or vagina), or if your vulva looks red and swollen, you may have vaginal candidiasis.

If your vaginal discharge is foul-smelling, foamy, or yellow, green, or gray, you may have a different type of vaginal infection or an STI and should be seen by your doctor, even if you don't experience symptoms such as irritation, itching, or burning.

In these cases, do not try to treat yourself with over-the-counter medications. It is very important to see a doctor first to diagnose vaginal discharge and treat it appropriately.
