What is this White Mucus
by sweety79, Dec 11, 2008 10:26AM
Sorry, I know this is a little graphic, but I am confused as to what is going on. I constantly have white clear stringy mucus. I know it isn't ovulation, because I have it all the time. It is like a glob that is sometimes runny and stretchy like when you ovulate. I also see it in the toilet after urinating. Occasionally I have burning when I urinate, but it comes and goes. I have pain on one side of my labia majora. I been to the doctor and she done a wet mount test and said she saw a few clue cells, but everything looks normal. She did give me flagyl and I finished it last Wednesday. I still am having the mucus discharge that doesn't really have an odor. The burning still comes and goes, it happens more in the mornings then other times. Could this now be an yeast infection after being treated for the possible BV or what? I am so confused. I have been tested for UTI several times and all of them are negative. She really said she only seen a few clue cells, but wanted to treat me anyways. The pain in the labia majora comes and goes as well. Please any advice. I am tired of going to doctors.

Thanks for the post!
It is normal for some women to have a discharge throughout the month. Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of the cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection. Clear and stretchy discharge indicates ovulation. Clear and watery discharge is normal and increases after exercise.
Clue cells indicate bacterial infection. What I would suggest is a culture and sensitivity of the vaginal discharge to know the type of bacteria and which antibiotic will kill it. I f there is no smell then in all probability it is not a major bacterial infection. Yeast infection needs to be ruled out.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. I think you should discuss this with your doctor and get yourself investigated in this line. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
