White discharge during late pregnancy

It is generally believed that as long as the early and middle stages of pregnancy have passed, the safe period has passed. The vast majority of pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy have little reaction, are able to eat and sleep, and wait for the fetus to be born. Despite this, post-pregnancy care should not be neglected. For example, white secretions discharged in the late pregnancy are most likely amniotic fluid and should be taken seriously. Of course, it may also be normal leucorrhea. In short, for safety reasons, if white discharge appears in the late pregnancy, you need to go to the hospital for examination.

The white discharge from the vagina during pregnancy is called leucorrhea. Leucorrhea is a viscous, white, transparent liquid that flows out of the female vagina. It is a mixture of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical glands, and endometrium, as well as shed vaginal epithelial cells and exudate from the vaginal mucosa. Leucorrhea has the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth. It contains antibodies, lysozyme, and lactobacillus, and it can also act as a lubricant during sexual intercourse.

Usually in the early stages of pregnancy, the amount of vaginal discharge will increase and become thicker. In addition, women may experience mild lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and breast swelling in the early stages of pregnancy. If the leucorrhea secreted during pregnancy is transparent, watery, light yellow and has no odor, it is normal. A small amount of bleeding is also normal.

In the early stages of pregnancy, due to the increase in hormones, vaginal secretions increase. If the vaginal discharge has no odor and there is no itching in the vulva, then there is no need to worry. If vulvar itching or pain occurs, and the vaginal discharge is yellow and has an odor, you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. If you ignore it, the growth and development of the fetus will be affected.

After women become pregnant, the color, properties and taste of most leucorrhea will not change significantly, and the color is basically the same as before pregnancy. When women reach the late stage of pregnancy, the amount of leucorrhea will increase more sharply. It will be gel-like and will be discharged from the vagina in large quantities. Some pregnant women will also have a small amount of blood in their leucorrhea.

Summary: After a woman becomes pregnant, her vaginal discharge changes greatly and the amount increases significantly, which has many adverse effects on the normal life of most pregnant women. During this period, female friends need to pay special attention to the cleanliness of their genitals. They can use high-quality sanitary pads, rinse the vulva with warm water every day to keep it clean, wear loose cotton underwear, ensure the dryness of the pregnant woman's vulva, and reduce the occurrence of infection.
