Underwear is always yellow in late pregnancy

Yellow underwear can reflect two problems. One is that yellow urine forms precipitation on the underwear, and the other is abnormal leucorrhea. The former is caused by physiological factors and there is no need to worry too much, but the latter is often closely related to gynecological diseases. If it is treated symptomatically under normal circumstances, it will be enough. However, in the late pregnancy, the situation is more special and the cause must be found and treated as soon as possible. So, why are underwear always yellow during the late pregnancy? Let’s take a look below.

Why are my underwear yellow during late pregnancy?

After a woman becomes pregnant, the level of female hormones in her body increases, and the amount of secretions in her vagina increases. This secretion is called leucorrhea. If the amount of vaginal discharge is large but there is no bad odor and itching, it is normal and does not require any special treatment. If your vaginal discharge is dark in color, has an unpleasant odor, or causes vaginal itching, you should seek medical attention. So it’s okay if the leucorrhea is yellow as long as there is no odor.

However, if the increase in vaginal discharge is an abnormality of vaginal infection, it will have an impact on the fetus. The increase in vaginal discharge and the itching of the vulva and vagina, and severe symptoms of vaginitis in pregnant women may make them restless and in abnormal pain. They may also have frequent urination, painful urination, and pain during sexual intercourse. They should go to a regular obstetrics and gynecology hospital for treatment in time.

How to clean private parts during pregnancy

To keep your private parts clean during pregnancy, you must first develop regular living habits. Clinically, some patients with vaginitis during pregnancy often experience repeated relapses of the disease. In addition to some complex recurrent factors, it is also related to living habits and eating habits. For example, staying up late, working at a desk for a long time, not liking to drink water, or liking to eat spicy food, etc., these can easily lead to problems with private health.

Therefore, pregnant women should have a regular schedule during pregnancy; they should drink more water. The purpose of drinking more water can not only replenish the water needed by our body, but also force ourselves to go to the toilet more often, thereby increasing exercise and avoiding local temperature increases. At the same time, eat less spicy and irritating foods.

In addition, pregnant women need to pay attention to cleanliness before and after defecation. It is important to wash your hands before going to the toilet. If your hands are not clean, and you use toilet paper to wipe the perineum, the germs on your hands will inevitably be brought to the perineum. If the body's resistance is reduced, infection is likely to occur.

Pregnant women can clean their vulva by taking a shower. They do not need to use shower gel or soap every day. Just use clean water.

Now you all know, if your underwear turns yellow during the late pregnancy, it’s generally not a big problem as long as there is no odor. Just remember to change your underwear frequently. Avoid eating spicy food, drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins, and pay attention to proper exercise in the late pregnancy, but not too much. Just use clean water to clean your private parts, don't use any medicine.
