Increased vaginal discharge after artificial insemination

Leucorrhea is a normal secretion from the female vagina and has the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth. During sexual intercourse, the amount of leucorrhea will increase, which will lubricate the vagina and facilitate sexual intercourse. Generally, the amount of leucorrhea increases during the middle of the menstrual period and becomes thin and transparent; after ovulation, the leucorrhea becomes thick, turbid and less in quantity.

Artificial insemination has risks

Although artificial insemination technology is not perfect, it can still help some couples and older women to become pregnant successfully to a certain extent under current conditions. However, in addition to technical operations, people should be more aware of protecting their own fertility and take careful precautions after pregnancy to avoid accidental miscarriage.

Some people point out that intrauterine insemination often uses ovulation induction treatment, which may cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which may also cause miscarriage in pregnant women. Multiple pregnancy and miscarriage are one of the complications of artificial insemination. The spontaneous abortion rate can be as high as 30%. More than half of early spontaneous abortions are caused by chromosomal abnormalities, and the older you are, the higher the likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities.

For women who become pregnant through artificial insemination, especially older pregnant women, it is recommended that they should strictly undergo regular prenatal checkups starting from the early pregnancy period.

Experts remind that once expectant mothers find any abnormal conditions, they should inform their doctor as soon as possible and take early treatment. If there is bleeding during early pregnancy, the cause of the bleeding should be carefully examined to determine whether it is related to vaginal or cervical erosion or threatened abortion.

In addition, the leucorrhea examination can help to understand whether there are Trichomonas or fungi in the vagina. If necessary, chlamydia, mycoplasma, and gonococcus tests should be carried out to prevent these infections from affecting the development of the embryo and inducing miscarriage.

After artificial insemination, if there is just excessive vaginal discharge with normal color and no odor, then it is a normal phenomenon. However, if the color of the leucorrhea is abnormal and has an odor, it is most likely due to an inflammatory infection. In this case, it is best to go to the hospital for a leucorrhea examination.
