What Does Mucus Discharge Post Urination Indicate?
At the end of urination, there is a white string of mucus, especially if I push . It is very sticky. This is the only symptom. I have been checked for UTI and STDs and do not have either. Recently had a bladder scope and my prostate is slightly swollen, but not enough to be a concern. Could this be a semen plug?

Hello,
I suggest you to get the string of mucus examined to determine the nature of the string. In case, it is semen plug, sperms will be seen microscopically. UTI or any other infection is associated with pain and itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
