Patient's question:
I am pregnant, but I have noticed that my vaginal discharge has been abnormal recently. It is dark in color and has a very strong odor. I am very worried that it might affect the baby. Could you please explain what causes white, paste-like vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Increased leukorrhea is often considered to be a sign of gynecological inflammation. Additionally, during menstruation and pregnancy, discharge may also increase continuously, so it is necessary to rule out each possibility. If everything is fine and it is just excessive discharge, you can use medication while paying attention to hygiene. To increase mucous discharge, you can adjust the vaginal flora using medication placed inside the vagina. Drink plenty of water, eat a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
