Milky white mucus in late pregnancy may be the result of impending labor, or it may simply be more discharge, or it may be caused by vaginitis and other diseases.
1. Prolonged labor: Before a woman goes into labor, the cervical opening will gradually open, and then the mucus plug of the cervix will be detached, resulting in an increase in vaginal secretions in the form of milky-white mucus, and usually some other signs of prolonged labor, such as redness and water breakage, etc. The vaginal secretions may be a sign of prolonged labor.
2. More secretions: After a woman is pregnant, the hormone levels in her body will rise, and it is normal for vaginal secretions to increase, usually viscous secretions, without odor and itching and other uncomfortable symptoms.
3. Vaginitis: If women do not pay attention to personal hygiene during pregnancy, a large number of microbial reproduction will cause vaginal inflammation, there will be a milky white thick secretion, usually accompanied by odor, itching and other symptoms.
Therefore, it is not based on the milky white mucus to determine whether the birth is imminent, but according to other symptoms of comprehensive analysis, if it is the cause of the disease should be treated as soon as possible.
