Why does vaginal discharge increase before delivery?

Women are very susceptible to diseases during pregnancy, especially their reproductive organs, which are particularly susceptible to bacteria if not careful, leading to dysfunction of the reproductive organs and some unclean secretions. So how should women treat themselves once they are infected with some bacteria or viruses? For example, why do they experience increased vaginal discharge before delivery? Let’s take a look below.

Generally speaking, normal women do not have a lot of leucorrhea, but the vagina feels moist. There is a big difference in the amount of leucorrhea before and after pregnancy. After pregnancy, the female pelvic cavity has an abundant blood supply and the amount of vaginal discharge will gradually increase. This is a normal phenomenon and expectant mothers do not need to worry. If a non-pregnant woman also has a lot of vaginal discharge, it is best to see a doctor. Although increased vaginal discharge during pregnancy is not a disease, you still need to pay attention to private parts care and pay attention to the following aspects. 1. Pay attention to private hygiene. Wash the vulva with warm water every day, but be careful not to clean the inside of the vagina. 2. Change your underwear every day. When there is sunlight, be sure to expose your underwear to the sun. It is best to choose cotton underwear, which is more breathable. 3. To avoid cross infection, expectant mothers should use separate bath towels and basins.

What to do if there is abnormal leucorrhea during pregnancy? Pregnant women have more leucorrhea than before pregnancy. Normal leucorrhea is milky white, odorless, like egg white. This is a normal phenomenon. If the color, quantity, and quality of leucorrhea change abnormally, it is called abnormal leucorrhea. If a pregnant woman has abnormal leucorrhea, such as increased leucorrhea, gray-yellow thin foamy appearance, or white bean curd-like or curd-like appearance, and severe itching of the vulva, the most likely causes are parasite vaginitis and candidal vaginitis. If an expectant mother is infected and has abnormal leucorrhea, it is best to go to the hospital for an examination and then receive treatment, and strive to be cured before 8 months of pregnancy to avoid the baby's eyes being infected and injured when passing through the birth canal. The expectant father should also receive treatment at the same time to prevent cross infection. The diagnosis of these two diseases is relatively simple. You just need to take a sample of leucorrhea for testing. If Trichomonas or Candida albicans is found, the diagnosis can be confirmed. There are also specific medicines for treatment, so expectant mothers should not worry too much.

Gynecologists say that during pregnancy, because of the increased hormone secretion in the body, the vaginal cells and cervical glands secrete vigorously, and the enlarged fetus compresses the blood vessels and tissue congestion, resulting in an increase in secretions such as leucorrhea during pregnancy. This is a normal phenomenon and pregnant mothers should not worry. Normal leucorrhea has no odor, is colorless and transparent like egg white, and does not cause itching. If the smell and shape of your vaginal discharge change, you may have a gynecological disease. If the amount of vaginal discharge increases during pregnancy and becomes cheese-like, and there is severe vaginal itching, you may be suffering from Candida albicans; if the vaginal discharge is foul-smelling and watery, and there is vaginal itching or pain, you may be infected with Trichomonas; if the vaginal discharge is pus-like and has a bad odor, you may be infected with Chlamydia. Once the shape, odor and color of leucorrhea become abnormal, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid affecting the healthy development of the fetus and the health of the mother. If the increase in vaginal discharge is normal, then all you need to do is take good care of your private parts.

1. Rinse the vulva frequently with clean warm water. Use a special basin to wash your private parts. Wash and dry it after each use and put it in a dry and ventilated place.

2. Choose good underwear. It is best to choose cotton underwear that is soft, breathable and sweat-absorbent. Also, the edges of your underwear should not be too tight, so as not to squeeze your lower abdomen and thighs, causing poor blood flow.

Women are particularly susceptible to diseases, and if they are pregnant, they are even more likely to be infected with germs. If the amount of leucorrhea increases before delivery, please read the above article carefully and take precautions to avoid affecting the baby in your belly. Therefore, our female friends must also learn to protect and love themselves.
