Why do pregnant women have more leukorrhea

Patient's question:

Why do pregnant women have more leukorrhea

Doctor's answer:

Hello! After a woman becomes pregnant, the amount of leukorrhea increases significantly compared to usual. This is because the blood flow in the vagina, cervix, and other areas of the pregnant woman is abundant, and the tissues retain more moisture, leading to increased secretions. The more advanced the pregnancy, the more leukorrhea there is. Many pregnant women often feel that their vagina is constantly wet, which can be uncomfortable. This is a normal phenomenon during pregnancy. As long as you frequently rinse the external genital area with warm water and change underwear often to maintain cleanliness, it will be fine.
