Is abnormal leucorrhea a big deal during pregnancy?

Abnormal vaginal discharge during pregnancy may indicate potential health problems and needs to be evaluated and treated as soon as possible, depending on the urgency of the situation. Although some abnormal vaginal discharge is a normal physiological change, it may also be caused by infection, hormone fluctuations or other pathological reasons. If it is accompanied by symptoms such as itching, odor or bleeding, it should be taken seriously.

Increased vaginal discharge is a common phenomenon during pregnancy, mainly due to increased estrogen levels in the body and increased secretion of cervical glands, but normal vaginal discharge should be transparent or milky white, without obvious odor. If the color of vaginal discharge suddenly changes to yellow, green, or even grayish white, and the texture of the secretion becomes thicker like tofu dregs, or is accompanied by a fishy smell, this may indicate pathological factors such as vaginitis, bacterial infection, fungal infection, or even sexually transmitted diseases. Large amounts of thin watery secretions may be related to premature rupture of amniotic fluid. Once these abnormal phenomena occur, especially in the early or mid-to-late pregnancy, the infection may affect fetal development and lead to complications such as miscarriage, premature birth, or premature rupture of membranes. Confirming the cause usually requires a gynecological examination and laboratory tests, including microscopic examination, culture, or pH test of vaginal discharge.

In order to protect the health of mother and baby, if abnormal leucorrhea occurs during pregnancy, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's advice for targeted treatment. Fungal infection can be treated with miconazole suppositories or clotrimazole cream, and bacterial infection may require oral metronidazole or clindamycin. In addition, safe antibiotics can be used to treat harmful bacterial infections. During this period, pregnant women should pay attention to personal hygiene, wear loose and breathable underwear, avoid using vaginal douching fluids to damage the flora, and exercise appropriately and eat a healthy diet to improve overall immunity.
