I know she's doesn't like going to the doctors, no one does but she needs too.I've told her that I'll go with her if she wants, I've said it could be a risk to me too but she still won't go.How do I convince her to go to the doctors?

 Well, although I can understand your concern, she is an adult and has the right to choose whether or not she wants to go. You cannot make her go against her will. It sounds as though you have thorougly expressed your concerns to her. That is about all you can do. I agree that you should hold off on doing anything intimate until she gets that checked out. Perhaps knowing this will motivate her to see the doctor. Try to be patient and gentle with her. I don't like it when people try to boss me around and control me. Best of luck!

tell her that its very serious to ignore these problems. If she doesnt see the doctor and get some tests, she could potentially be really harming herself.
If she doesnt listen to you , then stop sleeping with her until she goes.
its in her own interest to see the doctor and if not, then she will only have herself to blame

 Hiya,
She's most likely worried about being embarrest incase the doctor wants to swab her, however she could take a private swab of the discharge, it then gets sent off and within a few days they diagnose and provide treatment. She should be more worried oabout her health not being embarrest.
Reasure her that she doesn't have to do anything she is not comfortable, however it wouldn't hurt to just privatley speak to the GP.
Hope this helps.
