Patient's question:
I am 28 weeks pregnant. Since last week, my leukorrhea has started to increase slightly. I asked my cousin, and her fetus is one month older than mine. She also has this condition, with more leukorrhea. Sometimes she needs to use sanitary pads and changes them several times a day. What causes increased leukorrhea during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, there may be a recurrence of increased vaginal discharge, which is caused by the surge in hormone secretion during pregnancy. However, if the increased discharge is accompanied by itching, it definitely indicates inflammation and requires a thorough examination. On the other hand, if the increased discharge is normal in color and odor, there is no need for a thorough examination, but it is important to pay attention to hygiene. The recurrence of increased vaginal discharge can significantly affect a woman's health, and patients should pay attention to follow-up examinations after their menstrual period, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. We hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
