After pregnancy, women may find that their vaginal discharge has increased significantly, making cleaning very troublesome, and there may also be an odor that affects their daily life. So, is it normal for vaginal discharge to increase at nine and a half months of pregnancy?
During pregnancy, the blood flow in the vagina, external genitalia, cervix, and other parts of the female body will be faster than usual, and the tissue will also have more water. The amount of vaginal discharge will also increase relatively, which is a normal phenomenon.
Therefore, no special treatment is needed because the discharge of vaginal discharge increases, causing the external genitalia to be in a moist state for most of the time, which has a certain impact on the local skin. Pregnant women need to pay more attention to hygiene issues, change underwear frequently, keep underwear dry as much as possible, and wash the external genitalia with warm water. Increased vaginal discharge is a normal phenomenon, but there may also be itching and a special odor in the external genitalia. It is recommended to go to the hospital for gynecological examination.
Increased vaginal discharge can be cleaned through the following methods: First, rinse the external genitalia with warm water every day, using a specialized towel and basin to prevent cross infection. However, be careful not to clean the vagina to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia.
Change underwear every day and expose it to sunlight after washing. Every time you defecate, soak the cotton swab in boric acid water, then wipe your buttocks from front to back. Discard the cotton swab that has been wiped each time, and replace it with a new one when wiping for the second time.
At nine and a half months of pregnancy, if there is an increase in vaginal discharge and abnormal texture, color, or odor is also found, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner, as these symptoms are often signs of gynecological inflammation.
