How to treat increased leukorrhea during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am almost three months pregnant. Before pregnancy, my gynecological health was always fine, and I could go three days without changing my underwear without any issues. Recently, after getting pregnant, I have had a lot of leukorrhea, which is like water, and it has been constant. I keep using Value pads, but my pants get wet within a short time. The doctor said I am 88 days pregnant and asked why my leukorrhea has increased and how it should be treated.

Doctor's answer:

After pregnancy, there may be a possibility of experiencing an increase in physiological leukorrhea. However, if it is excessive, it may also indicate gynecological inflammation. Among these, vaginitis is the most common. In such cases, it is necessary to have a leukorrhea test. If the excessive leukorrhea is caused by vaginitis, treatment options such as douching and vaginal suppositories can be considered. After controlling the inflammation, the leukorrhea will also stabilize. In addition to timely treatment for the increase in leukorrhea, patients should also pay attention to their diet.
