What is the reason for excessive discharge in the later stages of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Hello, I am in the later stages of pregnancy and have a lot of discharge, which I'm very worried might be amniotic fluid. Is an ultrasound still needed to check if it is amniotic fluid? If it is, how serious is it? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Direct examination of secretions is sufficient. In addition to medication treatment and prenatal examinations, patients need to consult experts more often and maintain communication with doctors. Follow the doctor's advice step by step. Patients also need to pay attention to diet, such as eating light and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis and treatment, so as to achieve good therapeutic effects.
