Why Won’t My Friend That Thinks She Has Genital Warts Go To The Doctor?

10

I told her I’ll go with her.
I’ve even tried to give her listings to free clinics.
Why is she ignoring me and not going to the doctor?

    She is probably just embarrassed.
    Chances are she wants to make sure for her self that that is what it is.
    So she doesnt have to go through any degrading situations and find out its not warts.
    She will go in her own time.
    And if she doesnt and it does get worse then its her own fault.
    But its her decision.
    And nothing you say or do will change her mind about it if she doesnt want it changed.
    Just give her time.
    Like i said if she doesnt go and it is something bad.
    Then its her own fault and nobody elses.
    At least you tried.

    Because she is hoping that they will go away on their own, and she won’t have to do anything. Only problem is, they are associated with cervical cancer, and the problem will not go away. She may need to google the condition on her own, rather than listen to you. Suggest she looks it up on the Net to protect herself. Then she’s doing it on her own without feeling pushed into it.

    You could carry her into the office with her pants pulled down and it wouldn’t help then. If a person does not want to face their health issues they won’t. You just need to wait for her to show more signs of being curious and ready to then really help.
    You aren’t being ignored and your efforts aren’t going to total waste. She’s just paying more attention to the fear. If she brings it up just LISTEN and ask her the kinds of questions which will help her decide for herself. Or try giving her options if she’s just afraid of making an appointment: “I have off this weekend. We will go saturday or sunday you can choose either day and we’ll face it together.”

    She’s either really nasty or really embarrassed.
    You could go to the free clinic and get all the information for her.
    Or you could just remind her if she doesn’t sort it out she can’t have sex with anyone because condoms don’t stop them spreading to other people.

    why are you even worrying about it so much? they won’t cause her any problems other than unsightlyness and spreading them to other people. unless you sleep with her, leave her alone. it’s her problem if she doesn’t want to get medication for it.

  6. i guess it depends on age but if your fairly young, she could be worried that her parents will see the bill and know that she is sexully active. the whole situation is uncomfortable but your being a good friend by wanting her to get help!

    maybe she’s miserable and wants to infect other people or maybe she wants someone to lick the blisters and suck the puss out of it.; )
    well at least thats why i would want to stay with genital warts.

  8. PeteyPEE says:

    She doesn’t want to believe that she has genital warts. Its a pretty personal subject too. She’ll need to go on her own and find out.

    She is probably scared like my sister was…but I hope she goes soon, because it can get very serious with no treatment ! My sister ended up in the hospital for 2 days because she waited so long. !
