Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

At 8 weeks into my pregnancy, should I be concerned about the presence of white tissue when I wipe?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

It's completely normal. The milky white discharge, referred to as leukorrhea, is a typical occurrence during pregnancy. It indicates a healthy vaginal environment that safeguards both you and your baby against potential pathogens.

Thanks
