Is it normal to have increased vaginal discharge at 38 weeks of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Is it normal to have increased vaginal discharge at 38 weeks of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

At 38 weeks pregnant, a sudden increase in vaginal discharge is usually not a serious issue. It can be closely monitored. If there is an odor or itching, it is advisable to visit the gynecology department for a detailed examination. If inflammation is confirmed, appropriate use of safer anti-inflammatory medications can help regulate the condition.
First and foremost, it is important to take premarital examinations seriously. Through these examinations, some diseases can be identified, such as hepatitis B and sexually transmitted infections. These diseases can affect the health of offspring, leading to fetal malformations. Only after treatment can pregnancy be considered.
2. Prepare well before pregnancy. Avoid impulsive pregnancy and strive for a planned and prepared pregnancy. Conduct necessary examinations. There is a possibility of pregnancy.
