What is the cause of yellow vaginal discharge in early pregnancy?

Pregnancy is such an amazing and magical thing for girls! First there is a tiny fertilized egg in your body, and then it slowly grows! Then it changes day by day, growing a head, hands and feet, until it is finally fully formed and finally ripens! And all of this is accomplished in the mother’s womb! Of course, as the fertilized egg lands in the uterus, the expectant mother's body will gradually change as the baby grows! Therefore, expectant mothers must pay more attention to their physical health!

1. The leucorrhea is slightly yellowish white, most of the time it is sticky, sometimes it can be thin, typically milky white, like bean dregs, or like curd-like white flakes or lumps, most of which are caused by fungal infection.

2. The leucorrhea is yellow and has an odor or becomes milky white and purulent, often accompanied by abdominal pain. It is usually caused by chronic cervicitis or endocervicitis.

3. The leucorrhea is yellow and appears as a serous or viscous secretion with blood, sometimes mixed with small rotten meat-like substances (looks like yellow sauce soup). It is mostly caused by infection with amoeba.

4. Leucorrhea is slightly yellowish green or yellow with an odor, thin and foamy, or like rice water, grayish white in color. It is mostly caused by vaginal trichomoniasis.

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

The amount of leucorrhea secretion is closely related to the menstrual cycle, sexual thoughts and sexual life. The secretion of leucorrhea in menopausal women is sparse and thin, while that in women of childbearing age and pregnant women increases. Women in their honeymoon and during periods of frequent sexual intercourse also naturally experience increased secretion of leucorrhea. The above-mentioned normal secretion and increased leucorrhea are all manifestations of women's healthy physiology and there is no need to worry too much. If the leucorrhea is secreted excessively and there are changes in the odor, color, and properties, and it is accompanied by some symptoms, it is abnormal leucorrhea, which is called leucorrhea disease in traditional Chinese medicine.

Yellow leucorrhea in early pregnancy is mostly caused by reproductive system infection, usually bacterial infection. Common gynecological diseases include Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, cervicitis, etc. Along with the yellowing of leucorrhea, a series of symptoms such as vulvar itching and bad odor may also occur. Trichomonas vaginitis may affect pregnancy, cause premature rupture of membranes and premature birth, and is likely to cause fetal infection.

If you are infected with bacteria during pregnancy and develop gynecological inflammation, it will not only harm your own health, but also affect the healthy development of the fetus.

Therefore, if expectant mothers find that their leucorrhea is yellowish in the early stages of pregnancy, they must actively seek treatment. At the same time, expectant mothers must pay attention to hygiene. They can wash the vulva 1-2 times a day to keep it clean and dry. It is best to wear cotton underwear and wash and change it frequently. The most important thing is to use dedicated personal hygiene utensils, and use washbasins and foot basins separately.
