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 it normal to have yellow leucorrhea in early pregnancy? Let's have a simple understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

(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.

Symptoms of pregnancy:

First, if your menstruation is regular, you must have a history of amenorrhea.

Second, about 40 days after the menstruation stops, you will experience nausea, vomiting, anorexia, fear of eating greasy food, fear of the smell of seafood, etc. These are normal reactions to early pregnancy.

Third, some people will feel swelling and pain in both breasts and their nipples will turn dark.

Fourth, during pregnancy, the enlarged uterus is pressed against the bladder, causing increased urination.

If the above symptoms occur, it is estimated that the possibility of pregnancy is very high. At this time, women can go to the pharmacy to buy pregnancy test paper and test urine. If two red rods are found, it proves that you are pregnant. Wait until about 45 days after menstruation to check. If it is an intrauterine pregnancy and the fetal bud and heart rate can be seen, it proves that you are pregnant.

If the leucorrhea is yellow in early pregnancy, it is abnormal. Normal leucorrhea should be egg white-like secretion. If the discharge is yellow, it is recommended that pregnant women go to the hospital to check for vaginal discharge to see if there is any vaginitis.

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.
