Most women suffer from an increase Vaginal secretions While carrying them; Where the cervix and vaginal walls become more soft during pregnancy, and therefore these secretions help to protect and prevent infections.
The secretions also increase at the end of the pregnancy significantly, and they are wavy with thick mucus and some blood … in preparation for childbirth.
Before the course date: The amount, smell, and color of the secretions that occur from one woman to another varies, and protects these secretions and keeps it from bacteria, as it cleans the vagina, harmful bacteria wounds and dead cells from any infection.
The difference between pregnancy and menstruation secretions is great; Before menstruation, the secretions are thick and white in color similar to the cream or mortar milk, then turn into a brown or pink, and the period of secretions is a natural prevention of pregnancy.
The secretions that occur during the period between the two sessions are intermittent structure, and indicate that the session will come close, and in the event of its continuation and the session is late for its usual date, it is preferable to conduct a pregnancy test; Because it may mean pregnancy.
In pregnancy: The secretions in the beginning are usually white in a creamy and light smell, which is normal, and the result of increased estrogen production at the beginning of the pregnancy, and in some cases these secretions may cause infections, so it is necessary to pay attention to personal hygiene.
You can use internal blankets but avoid using memorization; So as not to enter new bacteria in the vagina, as well as vaginal shower; Because it can cause an imbalance in the natural balance of healthy bacteria in the vagina.
Vaginal secretions increase clearly at the time of ovulation in the event that no pregnancy occurs, then returns to normal again before the supposed menstruation date.
The appearance of brown secretions – as long as it appears for about four days – is one of the signs of the egg infection in the womb; but it is necessary to consult a doctor if you feel that any secretions that you suffer from are abnormal.
There is a difference between the secretions of the beginning of pregnancy and the secretions of vaginal infections; The first is with a good smell, the second smells unpleasant and its color tends to yellow, and is evidence that the vagina defends itself against this inflammation.
Blood or brown secretions indicate the possibility of miscarriage, especially if it is accompanied by pain, a decrease in body temperature, with nausea and loss of appetite.
Be careful not to become white and heavy secretions; This makes the vaginal structure moist and prepares to develop inflammation, and this means the need to go to the doctor; So that inflammation does not affect pregnancy.
Sometimes the woman notes the emergence of sticky vaginal secretions..and they are gray and unpleasant smell, accompanied by redness in the surrounding area with a feeling of great irritation, which indicates the presence of infections.
