Pregnant women are very sensitive. On the one hand, they hope that the fetus can develop healthily, but on the other hand, they are always worried that there may be problems with the fetus that may cause it to stop. Based on this concern, many expectant mothers are prone to become suspicious during pregnancy, and even the odor of vaginal discharge can make them associate it with miscarriage. So, if vaginal discharge smells bad during pregnancy, is it fetal arrest?
Vaginal discharge during pregnancy is not a symptom of fetal cessation.
White discharge odor during pregnancy is related to vaginitis. Expectant mothers are likely to have contracted vaginitis during pregnancy due to dampness and heat. In such a situation, expectant mothers should promptly go to the hospital and seek professional medical examination. If the symptoms are mild, expectant mothers only need to strengthen personal hygiene, wash and change underwear frequently. During the period when vaginal discharge is smelly, they can add an appropriate amount of edible salt to clean the external genitalia in clean water, and pay attention to keeping the genital area dry.
When inflammation is particularly severe, the health of the fetus is also likely to be affected. Therefore, early detection of symptoms requires prompt medical attention, and doctors can promptly develop corresponding plans for safe treatment.
It should be noted that during pregnancy, expectant mothers have more vaginal discharge than usual. Even if there is no abnormal odor in the discharge, attention should be paid to the cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. A high secretion of vaginal discharge can easily make underwear damp and breed bacteria, so it is necessary to change multiple underwear every day to keep the external genitalia dry. Only in this way can the occurrence of vaginitis during pregnancy be prevented.
