What Causes White Sticky Vaginal Drainage After Menstruation?

I am having some spotting and had some different discharge come from my vagina. First it was the discharge. It was about a week after my period, it looked like white slimey gunk. Was not real wet more consistent and stretchy. Now a couple days later I started spotting, no pain or cramping. The spotting is not bad and has pretty much stopped. I m not expecting my period until January 15 sometime. The first day of my last period was December 14. Should I be worried about any problems?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Need more information. Did you had any recent unprotected sex. In such case beta hcg level in urine and blood should be checked to rule out pregnancy.If that is clear then it can be due to infection. A swab test also should be done to rule out infection. Antibiotic therapy will be helpful in case of infection.
Hope this may help you.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks
I find this answer helpful
