Patient's question:
Female, twenty-four years old, recently discovered that after having sex with her boyfriend, her private area had a strong odor and there was a lot of discharge, and the color was also abnormal. Please ask: Is it normal for leukorrhea to increase after pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
In the early stages of pregnancy, due to hormonal changes in the body, it is common to experience an increase in vaginal discharge. If the color of the discharge is normal and there is no odor, there is no need to worry. However, if the discharge is abnormal, it may indicate a gynecological infection, and it is necessary to visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test. During pregnancy, it is essential to maintain clean and hygienic external genitalia. Every night, use warm water to clean the external genitalia thoroughly. The diet should be based on light and simple foods, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Change underwear frequently.
