Patient's question:
I am 29 years old and currently 4 months pregnant. My leukorrhea has increased, and my underwear is always wet and uncomfortable. Please ask: Does the secretion increase during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, due to the effect of progesterone, the metabolism is vigorous, which can lead to an increase in vaginal discharge. Therefore, an increase in discharge during pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. If the discharge continues to increase during pregnancy but has no odor and is milky white, it is normal. However, if the discharge becomes yellow, has an odor, or is thick, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid infection. Lastly, it is essential to develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical activity to enhance the patient's immunity.
