What is the reason for excessive leucorrhea and strong odor in pregnant women?

Now that the country has opened up the policy of allowing couples to have two children if only one of them is an only child, many parents have joined the ranks of actively trying to have a second child. Children are always the treasures of their parents. From the moment a new life is conceived, they must be carefully cared for and cherished. However, many pregnant women experience excessive vaginal discharge with a strong odor during pregnancy, which makes the expectant parents very worried. So, what causes pregnant women to have excessive vaginal discharge with a strong odor?

There are two types of leucorrhea: physiological and pathological. Of course, it doesn’t mean that all excessive vaginal discharge requires treatment. If there is no odor and it occurs during the following periods, it is a physiological phenomenon and does not require treatment. For example, during the ovulation period, the cervical endometrial cells secrete vigorously and the amount of leucorrhea increases, but it is transparent and clear. During pregnancy, the reproductive organs become congested, glandular secretions become active, and the amount of leucorrhea increases. Especially in the later stages of pregnancy, the amount of leucorrhea will increase.

Common causes of increased leucorrhea with odor include:

1. After infection with amoeba, the amount of leucorrhea secreted increases and has a peculiar smell. It generally presents as: bloody serous or yellow viscous secretions, sometimes mixed with small rotten meat-like substances (which look like yellow sauce soup).

2. The leucorrhea is yellow or yellow-green, thin and foamy, or like rice water, grayish white, and the amount of leucorrhea increases with an odor. It is mostly caused by vaginal trichomoniasis.

3. The amount of leucorrhea increases and has an odor. It is milky white or light yellow, purulent, and often accompanied by abdominal pain. It is usually caused by chronic cervicitis or endocervicitis.

4. When suffering from fallopian tube cancer, due to the tumor stimulating the fallopian tube epithelium to exude fluid and necrosis of the diseased tissue, the leucorrhea is mostly intermittent, clear, yellow-red liquid, flowing out of the vagina in bursts continuously.

5. When women suffer from cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, uterine cancer and other diseases, the "leucorrhea" they secrete is mostly characterized by increased leucorrhea with an odor, rice-washing water-like appearance, turbidity, and sometimes mixed with blood in a light pink color.

6. The leucorrhea is yellow-white in color, and most of the time it is sticky, but sometimes it can be thin. It is typically milky white, like bean dregs, or in the form of curd-like white flakes or lumps. Most of the time it is caused by fungal infection.

The above is the answer to the question about why pregnant women have excessive leucorrhea with a strong odor. I believe you have a certain understanding of this issue. In fact, you still need to do some preparation before getting pregnant and have a planned pregnancy. It is best for both husband and wife to take good care of their bodies. Of course, the woman’s health is the most important, and they can try to avoid abnormal leucorrhea during pregnancy.
