Is it normal to have excessive vaginal discharge during the fourth month of pregnancy?

I believe you have all noticed that after becoming pregnant, the body has become different from usual, especially the change in secretions is the most obvious. Many people are having their first child and do not have the basic knowledge in these aspects. They do not know whether these changes will affect the fetus in the abdomen, so they are very distressed and anxious. Is it normal to have increased vaginal discharge during the fourth month of pregnancy?

1. What is the reason for excessive vaginal discharge during pregnancy?

Don't worry too much about the impact on the fetus. In fact, in the early stages of pregnancy, the levels of estrogen and corpus luteum copper are high, so it is normal to have more vaginal discharge.

1. After a woman becomes pregnant, the amount of progesterone in her body will increase. Therefore, the blood circulation in the perineum, vagina and cervix of pregnant women will be accelerated, and it is normal for the amount of leucorrhea to increase.

2. During pregnancy, in order to provide sufficient blood to the uterus and allow the fetus to grow and develop better, the body will begin to secrete a large amount of progesterone and estrogen, especially after 12 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the embryo is formed, and the secretion of corpus luteum and estrogen will be greater. Therefore, there is always a large amount of estrogen and progesterone in the body of pregnant women.

As a result, blood flow to the pelvic tissues is accelerated and the metabolism of the glandular ducts is enhanced. Cervical secretions and female secretions also increase and they mix with the secretions. Therefore, the secretion of pregnant women will increase. Generally speaking, excessive leucorrhea during pregnancy does not require serious treatment. However, increased leucorrhea is very likely to breed bacteria, so pregnant women should pay attention to cleaning, change underwear and wash private parts every day to prevent gynecological inflammation.

2. What should pregnant women do if their vaginal discharge increases?

1. Clean your lower body with warm water every night to ensure it is clean, but do not wash the vagina.

2. Pregnant women should use special towels and washbasins for bathing to reduce the chance of infection.

3. Pregnant women should change their underwear every night and disinfect their underwear frequently.

Excessive vaginal discharge in the fourth month of pregnancy is not a disease, but if the vaginal discharge is abnormally yellow and has other pungent smells, then it may be a gynecological disease. Encountering such abnormal phenomena should seek medical treatment immediately, because this abnormality indicates that the body has a disease, in order not to affect the fetus, can not be delayed, and treatment should be sought as soon as possible.
