If you are pregnant, there will be a significant increase in secretions. This is because during pregnancy, the body's estrogen levels gradually increase as the pregnancy progresses. Estrogen can promote the secretion of mucus in the glandular ducts of the cervix and uterine wall. The blood volume in the private parts, vagina, and cervix of pregnant women is abundant, and tissue water increases, so secretions also increase, and blood flow also increases. In addition to the symptoms of leucorrhea, physiological changes in early pregnancy also include cessation of menstruation, increased female secretions, bleeding and other symptoms. Although the secretion will increase in the early stages of pregnancy, if the color and condition of the secretion are abnormal, it may be some kind of gynecological inflammation and you need to go to the hospital for examination.
