What changes have occurred in the vagina during pregnancy?

It is said that the period when a woman is pregnant is the empress dowager, but for the pregnant woman itself it is indeed an abnormal period when both the body and the mind undergo changes. During pregnancy, the secretion of female hormones increases significantly, so the breasts and vagina will undergo obvious changes. Because hormonal disorders can cause abnormal secretion of vaginal leucorrhea, and the increase in the number of fetuses in the pregnant woman's body will cause the area below the pelvic cavity to be squeezed, many pregnant women will feel vaginal pain, and the vagina will also extend by about 3 cm after giving birth.

Increased vaginal discharge and moist vulva

After pregnancy, women's hormone secretion continues to increase, which causes increased vaginal secretions and increased moisture in the vulva.

But pregnant women need to note that if the vaginal discharge is milky white and has no odor, there is no need for excessive cleaning. This is a normal phenomenon.

The resistance of the private parts has decreased

Due to the increase in hormone secretion in the body, vaginal secretions increase, which will change the pH value of the vagina. The female private parts have their own self-cleaning system, but due to the special period of pregnancy, the female body's immunity is at a lower level, which also reduces the resistance of the private parts, making them susceptible to infection by bacteria and causing various gynecological diseases.

How to care for the private parts of pregnant women

1. Prepare your own special cleaning basin and towel. The cleaning basin should be cleaned before use, and the towel should be dried in the sun or in a ventilated place after use. Towels that are not exposed to sunlight for a long time are prone to breed bacteria and fungi.

2. Gently wash the vulva with warm water every night. When cleaning the genitals, you should wash your hands first, then clean the vulva from front to back, then wash the labia majora and minora, and finally wash the area around the anus and the anus.

3. After defecation, develop the habit of wiping from front to back with toilet paper and washing or flushing the anus with warm water.

4. It is best to take a shower and rinse with warm water. If there is no shower, you can use a basin instead, but it must be a dedicated basin.

5. When choosing clothes, pregnant women should pay attention to choosing loose and soft cotton products. It is best not to wear chemical fiber underwear or denim products. Underwear should generally be changed every 2-3 months, and should not be washed together with socks.

6. You can use hygienic vaginal cleansing products that can remove dirt and sterilize, but under normal circumstances, just clean water will suffice.
