Patient's question:
I just got pregnant for a week. A thorough physical examination revealed an increase in leukorrhea. Some people say that an increase in leukorrhea during pregnancy is normal, but I've only been pregnant for a week. I don't really understand this, so I want to consult whether leukorrhea can increase at one week of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, after pregnancy, due to the changes in hormone levels, vaginal discharge will continuously increase. This is a normal phenomenon. If you experience increased vaginal discharge again, along with symptoms like itching and odor, it may indicate vaginitis. Please go to the hospital for follow-up treatment. During pregnancy, it is important to maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, frequently wash the area, and wear loose cotton underwear that allows for breathability.It is not something to be afraid of if you have increased vaginal discharge. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated appropriately, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
