Is it normal to have increased leukorrhea after pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I just started getting pregnant, everything was normal. Later, I heard from a friend that you can have sex after three months, so I did. But gradually, I noticed more discharge and some itching. How is it normal to have more discharge after getting pregnant? Will this affect the baby's growth and development? What should I pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, an increase in leukorrhea is normal. After conception, due to changes in the excretion of hormones in the body, a significant amount of cervical mucus is secreted, leading to a continuous increase in leukorrhea. This is a normal phenomenon. It is recommended to pay close attention to any changes in leukorrhea, such as discoloration or the presence of an odor. If there are any obvious abnormalities, it is advisable to promptly visit a hospital for a leukorrhea routine examination to determine the possibility of infection.
