Why Does My Discharge Turn Stringy?
Stringy, stretchy egg-white-like discharge in mid-cycle is a symptom of ovulation. This is the most favorable time to conceive a baby, and you can determine it, monitoring your cervical mucus. Such discharge promotes conception. When sperm cells get into vagina, they need to reach the ovum, released by the ovary during ovulation. Stringy and stretchy mucus offers very advantageous conditions for spermatozoa. They get into its streams and use them as a highway towards the target. Only the fastest and the strongest sperm cell wins this race.
Stringy discharge shouldn’t alarm you if it doesn’t cause you inconveniences, such as irritation, itching, burning sensations, unpleasant odor. If you still believe your discharge is not likely to be normal, better clear up this situation with your gynecologist.
