Question
It has probably been about 10 days since my period, and I have experienced a very stringy white substance after I urinate. What is this? It has happened a few times in the last few days. Should I be concerned? I have also experienced more headaches in the last week than normal. Is there a correlation?
Answer
It may be a normal discharge that accompanies ovulation - sometimes called "spin," because it is stretchy. If it does not stop, you can see your doctor.
