Brief Answer:
For now, monitor!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this milky white mucus discharge that you have reported shortly after the end of your menses. Do you have any other symptoms associated to this like pain, offensive odor, increased discharge? If this is not the case, I will advice that you monitor over a couple of days to see if any other symptoms set in and whether this observation was just a one time observation or a permanent problem that needs evaluation and treatment. If there are other symptoms, please do well to report them to me so that I can take a closer appreciation and make a more rounded interpretation on what the cause is. My strongest suspicion is that this would turn out to be an incidental occurrence and not caused by an infection.
In all monitor. If there are any associated symptoms, please report them to me. My strongest suspicion is that it is an incidental occurrence and this is not rare in most women.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
For now, monitor!
