Hi hurricane,
i'm glad your friend has a caring person
like you in her life to help her out. It
sounds as though her boyfriend has given
her a rough time. She is lucky in one
respect, trichomoniasis is the most easy
to treat and cure of all std's. Some
std's such as herpes are not curable,
controllable maybe but not curable. She
needs to go to her doctor and request a
prescription for metronidazole. Abdominal
pain can occur with trichomoniasis, aswell
as a frothy, yellowish green vaginal
discharge with a strong odor. It may also
cause discomfort during intercourse and
urination. Irritation and itching of the
genital area are other symptoms. Your
friend must take all the medication
prescribed, even if the symptoms go away,
and she must not have intercourse until
she has finished the medication.
I hope that helps, good luck to your
friend, I hope she is feeling better
soon.
