What are the effects of yellow-green leucorrhea in late pregnancy

Under normal circumstances, women's leucorrhea is colorless and odorless. When a woman is in her ovulation period, the color of her leucorrhea will turn milky white, and sometimes it will have a slight odor. This is all normal, but if you find that your vaginal discharge is yellow-green in the late pregnancy, you should be alert. Because normal vaginal discharge suddenly changes color and odor, it is likely that there is something wrong with your body.

1. In the early stages of pregnancy, due to the rapid increase in hormones, it is normal for vaginal secretions to increase. Therefore, increased leucorrhea in the early stages of pregnancy is also a normal reaction. If the vulva is not itchy and the leucorrhea has no odor, there is no need to worry. However, if you experience vulvar itching and pain, yellow leucorrhea, strange smell, or foul odor, you need to go to the hospital for medical treatment, as this may be caused by vulvar or vaginal diseases. If left unchecked, it may affect the growth and development of the fetus.

2. It is abnormal for pregnant women to have yellow leucorrhea with an odor. It is usually caused by vaginal Trichomonas infection, which will cause watery leucorrhea with a foul odor, and itching or pain in the vagina. Trichomonas is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, but can also be transmitted through indirect contact. Swimming pools, bathing pools and especially ponds can become places for the transmission of Trichomonas and cause yellow leucorrhea during pregnancy. It is also possible for a mother to infect her newborn with trichomoniasis.

3. Unpleasant smells will affect fetal development. For pregnant women, due to the decrease of lactic acid bacteria in the vagina during pregnancy, the original balance of flora is broken, the pH value of the vagina will rise, which is suitable for the growth of Trichomonas, and thus they will often be infected with Trichomonas vaginitis. Therefore, yellow leucorrhea during pregnancy will affect the normal development of the fetus.

4. Yellow leucorrhea with odor after pregnancy not only causes unbearable itching of the vulva, affecting life and energy, but also may affect pregnancy if not treated in time, causing premature rupture of membranes, premature birth, etc. Yellow leucorrhea during pregnancy is likely to cause fetal infection. After the fetus is infected, erythematous rashes will appear on the skin, and yellow needle-like spots will appear on the umbilical cord. If the fetus is delivered vaginally, 2/3 of the newborns will become ill. Yellow leucorrhea during pregnancy may also cause thrush and red buttocks.

Leucorrhea is generally colorless and odorless. If you find that your leucorrhea is yellow-green in the late pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination in time to rule out gynecological diseases. If you find that your leucorrhea has an unreasonable color and odor, don't delay going to the hospital for treatment because of your own face, thus delaying your treatment.
