I believe many women know that vaginal discharge is one of the important criteria used by women to determine whether their reproductive system is healthy and normal. Moreover, vaginal discharge can change differently in different physiological cycles of women. However, some women still do not understand vaginal discharge and its changes. Recently, some women have asked whether they will still have vaginal discharge at 40 days of pregnancy?
After pregnancy, in order to maintain the normal implantation and development of the fertilized egg, the corpus luteum of the ovary needs to secrete a large amount of estrogen and progesterone. Under the combined action of estrogen and progesterone, the vaginal epithelial cell tissue thickens and blood vessels become congested, resulting in an increase in exudate and shed cells. In addition, the cervix becomes enlarged and congested, and glandular secretion is vigorous. Therefore, after pregnancy, women will not only have vaginal discharge, but also an increase in vaginal discharge.
After pregnancy, due to changes in the endocrine system, the body's immune system may decrease. In addition, the acidity and alkalinity of the female vagina may also change, and vaginal bacteria no longer have an advantage. If pregnant women do not pay attention to keeping their private parts dry and clean, it is highly likely to cause a large number of bacteria to grow in the private parts. Once bacteria enter the vagina, it can cause vaginal infection and inflammation, which not only affects women's physical health but also endangers fetal growth and development.
As the gestational age increases, the secretion of vaginal discharge in women will continue to increase. In general, if there is only an increase in vaginal discharge and no other abnormal symptoms appear, women do not need to worry too much. However, if there are abnormal changes in the color, texture, and odor of vaginal discharge, they should seek medical examination as soon as possible to identify the specific cause and cooperate with doctors for active and effective treatment to avoid adverse effects on the fetus.
