Introduction
Under normal circumstances, there is no significant difference in secretions between carrying a male or female fetus. Secretions mainly refer to vaginal discharge from the female reproductive system, and changes in its color, consistency, and amount are primarily related to the woman's physical condition, hormone levels, and whether she has inflammation or other factors, rather than being directly related to the fetus's gender. The sex of the fetus should be determined through scientific medical examinations.

Generally, there is no significant difference between the secretions of women carrying male or female fetuses under normal circumstances. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Secretions mainly refer to vaginal discharge from the female reproductive system. Changes in its color, consistency, and amount are primarily related to the woman's physical condition, hormone levels, and whether there is inflammation, rather than directly related to the fetus's gender. Whether carrying a boy or a girl, after pregnancy, increased estrogen levels in the woman's body will promote the cervical and endometrial glands to secrete mucus, resulting in increased vaginal discharge. This change is a normal physiological phenomenon and is unrelated to the fetus's gender.

During pregnancy, women should pay attention to their physical condition. If there is abnormal increase in discharge, color changes, unpleasant odor, or symptoms such as itching occur, timely medical examination is necessary to rule out pathological conditions such as inflammation. At the same time, maintaining external genital cleanliness and dryness is important to prevent infection. As for determining the sex of the fetus, it is best to rely on scientific medical examinations, such as ultrasound scans.
