Is an increase in leukorrhea a sign of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

After cohabiting with my husband, I noticed an increase in my leukorrhea. I want to ask if an increase in leukorrhea is a sign of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Increased leukorrhea is not a sign of pregnancy. There can be many reasons for increased leukorrhea, such as dietary factors, menstrual irregularities, endocrine issues, inflammation, personal psychological factors, and constitutional reasons. All of these may lead to increased leukorrhea and are not unique symptoms of pregnancy. As for pregnancy, it needs to be inferred based on the menstrual cycle. If the period arrives on time but pregnancy is not confirmed, and there is a significant amount of leukorrhea, a leukorrhea test should be conducted.
