Every girl will slowly discover some changes in her body after becoming pregnant, especially for women who are pregnant for the first time, those changes are inevitable and indeed they have never experienced before. Therefore, every woman must learn to understand the physiological changes brought about by pregnancy after becoming pregnant.

What are the causes of abnormal leucorrhea?

◆Infectious factors are the common causes of increased leucorrhea. Infections such as bacteria, gonococci, fungi, protozoa, viruses or spirochetes can increase vaginal discharge. Common clinical diseases include Candida albicans vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, gonorrhea, bacterial vaginitis, syphilis, Chlamydia trachomatis cervicovaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, and endocervicitis.

◆Non-infectious factors include. Uterine fibroids, especially submucosal fibroids. As the area of ​​the uterine cavity increases, the amount of uterine cavity discharge increases, and is discharged along with cervical secretions, causing an increase in leucorrhea.

◆Patients with uterine fibroids often have hyperestrogenism. Estrogen can directly cause increased cervical secretions, and some ovulation-inducing drugs can also increase leucorrhea.

It is recommended that you go to the hospital outpatient department to have a leucorrhea secretion examination to see if there is any infection and then decide how to treat it. You should pay attention to personal hygiene and wash frequently.

Usually after a woman becomes pregnant, the amount of leucorrhea increases significantly than usual and sometimes turns yellow. This is because the blood flow in the genitals, vagina, and cervix of the pregnant woman is strong, the tissue water increases, and therefore the secretions also increase. The further the pregnancy progresses, the more vaginal discharge there is. Many pregnant women often feel that their vagina is always wet and uncomfortable. This is a normal phenomenon during pregnancy.

It could also be vaginitis. Common infections include bacterial, trichomonal, fungal, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital for routine leucorrhea examination to clarify the diagnosis and facilitate treatment. Pay attention to vulvar hygiene and avoid spicy and irritating food. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment.
