White discharge during pregnancy

At the time of registration on the pregnancy in the antenatal clinic gynecologist always tells the woman that will occur in her body and what symptoms should pay special attention. Attention is paid to the possibility of allocating and during pregnancy.

Option standards

In the first 12 weeks of pregnancy in women under the influence of progesterone in normal usually appear glassy thick clear discharge Transparent allocation when they are normal? . But sometimes the discharge can be white or close to white color. This is normal - such allocation prevent spontaneous abortion and infection in the uterus, as the mucous plug is completely occludes the cervical canal.

Starting from the second trimester of pregnancy (after 12 weeks), the action of progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology   reduced, but increases the effect of other female hormones estrogen - they contribute to the growth and development of genitals and mammary glands. Under the influence of estrogen from the genital tract are more liquid and abundant. They also colorless, but some women may have a whitish color - it is also a variant of the norm.

At the same time rely solely on color selections can not - they often have an individual color. Women should alert the following symptoms: unpleasant odor discharge, discomfort sensations (itching, burning), irritation of the skin secretions of genitals and inner thighs. Combining these features with the discharge of any nature should be the reason for seeking medical attention.

Symptom Thrush

Sometimes women are itching and burning in the genital area. When viewed from the mucous membrane of the external genitalia reddened and swollen, her in some places there are grains of white cheesy discharge. If this condition is not treated, white cheesy discharge grow and sometimes cover all the mucous membranes in the form of films. Films hard shot from the mucous membranes, leaving a bleeding surface.

This disease is called candidiasis or thrush, as appearing in this release are similar to curds. Thrush is caused by yeast fungi of the genus Candida, and a pregnant woman can deliver a lot of discomfort.

The fungi of the genus Candida are natural inhabitants of the mucous membranes of the genitals of men and women. But they usually do not cause disease as long as a person has normal immunity. During pregnancy, the immune system is always reduced (this is a normal physiological response of the body, which prevents conflict organisms of mother and child), so a pregnant woman is always susceptible to different kinds of infections, especially candidiasis.

Thrush began - what to do?

If thrush has begun, it should be treated. For the treatment of yeast infections in pregnant women, there are special medications, which are not absorbed into the bloodstream, surfactants acting only within mucous membranes, destroying them fungi. Such preparations do not adversely affect the fetus. Obstetricians antenatal know what drugs and at what stages of pregnancy should be used in order to make a pregnant woman from yeast.

Tolerate thrush and wait for delivery, in order to be treated after them is impossible. The problem is that Candida can get sick and the baby. Very rarely, however, is vutriutrobnaya infection caused by the yeast genus Candida, it is very dangerous and can cause fetal death. More often candidiasis is transmitted to the fetus during labor, and it is also dangerous, because a newborn baby may develop serious illnesses such as pneumonia Pneumonia - Symptoms and Causes Meningitis Meningitis - an inflammation of the meninges Sepsis.

Therefore, prenatal endeavor to identify and treat thrush.

Preventing thrush - strengthening the immune system

If a woman does not want to be treated on the yeast, it must take care to strengthen its immunity. To do this, first of all it needs nutritious food with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats and fish, the obligatory presence in the diet of dairy products, vegetable oil, a variety of cereals.

No less important is the mobile lifestyle, physiotherapy and maximum exposure to fresh air. Hiking useful even in late pregnancy - they will help not only to maintain the immune system, but also to strengthen the muscles that will be required during labor.

Every living organism nature has the instinct of procreation. But the birth of children - it is not only the maintenance of life on Earth, but also the joy and hope of the parents. The inception of a new life begins at conception, and all the hazards that have taken place, could have a negative impact not only on fertilization, but also on the capacity for it. To understand the importance of this definition, it is necessary to recall how conception occurs.

The stages of conception

Formation of the ovum (embryo not yet) consists of several stages:

• ovulation;
• fertilization;
• the formation of the zygote;
• movement and implantation of the ovum.

Ovulation

Starting torque in the mechanism of conception Conception, ovarian cycle, fertilization and genetics of a child   is the maturation and release of an egg, which is called ovulation Ovulation - How to determine as accurately as possible? . Ovulation - is one of the periods of the menstrual cycle, which occurs approximately in the middle. Under the influence of FSH ovarian follicles begin to ripen in the following of which is formed one dominant follicle. The dominant follicle is none other than the egg is surrounded by a layer of epithelial tissue, and two layers of connective tissue. After maturation of the follicle is its main break and the outside (into the abdominal cavity) is thrown egg. The egg (female sex cell) surrounded by a sheath of protective cells in the form of a "radiant crown" and consists of the cytoplasm and nucleus, where there are 23 chromosomes. The egg - is the largest cell in the female body.

After ovulation occurred under the influence of progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology Which is produced by the corpus luteum, the endometrium starts to change. It thickens, it becomes loose and the blood supply. All of these changes are necessary for the adoption of a fertilized egg (implantation).

After the release of an egg has occurred, it tends to get into the fallopian tube where it is moving by pili and cilia located in the inner shell. That should happen here and meeting the egg and sperm. Life is short egg, only 24 hours, and that during this time the sperm need time to reach the fallopian tubes.

Fertilization and the formation of the zygote

The next stage of conception - a fertilization. The mature egg is fertilized by sperm, which consists of the head, neck and tail, and also carries 23 chromosomes. Generates sperm seminiferous tubules of male sex glands and are part of the seminal fluid (semen). Sperm dimensions several times smaller than the egg, and their life span up to three days. Caught in the vagina, the sperm are beginning to overcome the cervical mucus of the cervical canal Cervical canal - the path traversed by every person They fall into the uterine cavity and move towards the fallopian tubes. An important role in maintaining the activity of enzymes playing sperm contained in the mucus produced by glands of the uterus. With this mucus in the uterus formed a special path on which the most active sperm reach the mouth of the fallopian tube. After reaching the egg, sperm (the survivors, about a few hundred) attached to its shell and begin to dissolve it. And only one, the strongest and most agile sperm penetrates the oocyte and fuses with its nucleus. As a result of the merger of the zygote is formed, containing 46 chromosomes. After penetration of the sperm into the egg, it changes the composition of their membranes that prevent the implementation of other sperm.

Move the egg and implantation

When fertilization has occurred, it begins to divide (2 cells are formed first, then 4, and so on). At the time of crushing the egg moves through the fallopian tube, in order to get to the uterus. At the time of implantation of the zygote already it consists of 64 cells and is called a blastocyst. Approximately on the eleventh day after fertilization are broken shell of the blastocyst, has allocated special substance that melted the functional layer of the endometrium and the fertilized egg attaches to the mucous membrane of the uterus.
