Does early pregnancy cause an increase in leukorrhea?

Patient's question:

A woman is 35 years old this year. I have had yellow discharge recently, and there is a very unpleasant odor in the private area in the afternoon. This makes me feel very embarrassed. Please ask: Can early pregnancy cause an increase in discharge?

Doctor's answer:

In the early stages of pregnancy, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in a woman's body will decrease. Due to the decline in hormones, the discharge of leukorrhea will continuously increase. However, the increase in leukorrhea is not a specific symptom of pregnancy. Blood hCG testing is required to confirm pregnancy. Finally, during the treatment period, patients need to follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
