Patient's question:
I am 30 years old and currently 4 months pregnant. My leukorrhea has increased, and my underwear is always wet and uncomfortable. Please ask: Does leukorrhea increase in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally, during pregnancy, leukorrhea tends to increase more than usual and becomes thicker. As the pregnancy progresses, the amount of discharge also increases, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. If the leukorrhea turns yellow and there is itching in the external genital area, it may indicate an illness, and a check-up is necessary. It is important to change underwear frequently, clean the groin area, and prevent transmission. Lastly, it is essential to develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance the patient's immunity.
