Does the amount of discharge increase during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am 29 years old and currently 4 months pregnant. I have an increased amount of leukorrhea, and my underwear is always wet and uncomfortable. Please ask: Does secretion increase during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Yes, this is possible. If the discharge is white or translucent, it is because the hormone levels in the body decrease after pregnancy, leading to an increase in discharge. However, if the discharge is yellow and accompanied by vaginal itching, it may be a sign of vaginitis. In this case, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a specific examination to determine the cause. Lastly, it is important to develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance the patient's immunity.
