Pregnancy refers to the process of a woman from conception to childbirth. Generally, the entire pregnancy is around 40 weeks. During pregnancy, due to changes in hormones in the female body, various symptoms may occur. So, is it interesting for vaginal discharge to increase during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, the level of estrogen in women is relatively high, so the secretion of cervical glands in women during this period will be more vigorous, which will be manifested as an increase in vaginal discharge. However, only the symptoms of increased vaginal discharge will not be accompanied by changes in vaginal odor or tofu residue like characteristics, and the color of vaginal discharge will not change.
If a woman not only experiences an increase in vaginal discharge during pregnancy, but also abnormal symptoms such as abnormal odor, tofu residue like, yellow green vaginal discharge, etc., this is not a normal manifestation and is likely caused by bacterial or parasitic infections in the vagina. This requires going to the hospital for routine vaginal discharge examination, and determining the type of infection before determining the method of treatment.
In addition, if women experience coffee colored vaginal discharge in early pregnancy, they need to pay special attention. This coffee colored discharge is actually a symptom of vaginal bleeding and is likely to be a manifestation of ectopic pregnancy or threatened miscarriage. It is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and resolve it as soon as possible.
