Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why does the skin get darker after pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is due to the enhanced secretion function of the adrenal glands after pregnancy, which leads to an increase in cortisol, resulting in the appearance of stretch marks on the skin surface and dark brown patches on the face. These will gradually fade away after delivery. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
