What causes yellow discharge during early pregnancy?

Discharge is a woman's female discharge. It is a compound of secretions from the vaginal mucosa, endocervical tubes and uterine wall glandular ducts. The production of this growth hormone is related to the effects of estrogen. Under normal circumstances, the quality and amount of secretions will change with the menstrual cycle. After the menstrual period is over, the secretion is small in amount, milky white and sticky. In addition, before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal mucosal exudate increases and leucorrhea increases. What is the reason why leucorrhea turns yellow after pregnancy?

(1) Most yellowish female discharge during pregnancy is caused by a urinary tract infection, usually a bacterial infection.

(2) Symptoms of candidal vaginitis, the most typical symptoms are excessive leucorrhea, which is watery or spotted, high edema of the vaginal and vestibular mucosa, covered with a white watery film, which is distributed in spots or lumps and is easy to fall off, with underlying damaged areas or ulcers.

(3) The symptoms of candidal vaginitis are mostly manifested as excessive vaginal discharge, which is thinner, yellowish or light green, sometimes mixed and tenacious, and has foamy secretions.

Is yellow vaginal discharge normal in early pregnancy?

Some women find that their vaginal discharge turns yellow shortly after pregnancy, but has no odor. Pregnant women worry that this situation will affect the healthy growth of the fetus. So, is yellow vaginal discharge normal in early pregnancy?

(1) In early pregnancy, the yellowish color of discharge is caused by a urinary tract infection, usually a bacterial infection.

The symptoms of candidal vaginitis are excessive leucorrhea, which may be thin pulpy, khaki or light green, sometimes mixed with blood, and about 20% white foam. Vulvar itching, burning pain, and pain during sexual intercourse are also common. If the infection spreads to the urethra, urinary difficulty, inability to hold urine, and even hematuria may occur.

The typical clinical manifestation of bacterial vaginitis is a significant increase in abnormal vaginal secretions, which are thin and uniform or thin and sticky, grayish white, khaki or milky white, with a unique fishy smell, and vaginal burning and itching.

Symptoms of nonspecific vaginitis are common symptoms including increased discharge, pus, serous properties, and a strong odor in the secretion. Because the secretions irritate the urethra, it causes urinary fistula, inability to hold urine, painful urination, decreased vaginal sensation, burning, accompanied by pelvic discomfort and fatigue.

(2) If you are pregnant, the discharge will continue to increase. This is because during pregnancy, as the pregnancy month increases, estrogen levels gradually increase. Estrogen stimulates the secretion of mucus by the glands in the cervix and uterine wall. The genitals, vagina and cervix of pregnant women have strong blood volume and increase tissue humidity. As a result, secretions also increased.

Although the amount of leucorrhea will increase in the early stages of pregnancy, if the discharge is more severe and the discharge and melanin are abnormal, the hospital may recommend some type of gynecological inflammation.
