Many patients ask about discharge during pregnancy. Physiologically, the vaginal glands are known to secrete a certain amount of clear, odorless, white secretion. Discharge/amount varies depending on many factors, including different stages of menopause.
White discharge during pregnancy is mainly due to increased secretion of estrogen, so it is normal if there is no unpleasant smell or colour change. Let us know more about it.
Is Watery Discharge Normal During Pregnancy?
Yes. During pregnancy, you may have more vaginal discharge than usual. This is called leucorrhoea. It usually appears clear or white and does not have a strong odor. But in the later pregnancy stage estimated by the pregnancy calculator, the white discharge may become abnormal. This is because the levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone are high during pregnancy.
When to Call the Doctor
A thin, clean, or milky white discharge is a normal and healthy part of the pregnancy. It is unusual if it appears:
- Deep yellow or green.
- Bad odor.
- Thick or clumpy consistency.
- Combustion or irritation can be a sign of infection.
- Pink or brown color streaks of blood belts appear, which may be a sign of labor later in pregnancy or implantation bleeding in early pregnancy.
- If your urine is pale in colour and watery in consistency, it may mean an amniotic fluid has broken or is leaking.
The above symptoms can also indicate the beginning of various vaginal infections. These infections during pregnancy can cause discomfort and medical complications. In such cases, medical advice or normal pregnancy tips are essential.
You can start with home remedies for white discharge, such as consuming fenugreek seeds boiled in water, coriander seeds water, drinking rice starch, eating lady finger, Indian gooseberry, guava leaves, tulsi, etc.
