Patient's question:
I used to have irregular periods, and every time my period was about to come, my leukorrhea would increase. Now I can clearly feel that my leukorrhea has increased, but my period is already delayed by more than 20 days this month. My husband and I are planning to have a child and are about to go to a pharmacy to buy pregnancy tests.What kind of help do I need: Does the symptom of leukorrhea change after the fertilized egg implants?
Doctor's answer:
After a woman becomes pregnant, the amount of vaginal discharge increases. This discharge is generally referred to as "leukorrhea," and the more advanced the pregnancy, the more abundant the leukorrhea, which is a normal physiological manifestation in women. After pregnancy, the amount of leukorrhea in women increases significantly compared to normal levels. This is because the blood flow in the vagina, cervix, and other areas of the reproductive system is abundant, the tissues retain more moisture, and as a result, the discharge also increases.
