About trich

I was diagnosed with trich about 5-6 days ago and they gave me meds for it, but I feel like they're only making me feel worse. I looked up the symptoms and the only like thing that I have with the symptoms is lower abdominal pain.
I haven't had weird discharge except a week of black after my period last month, and I have pain in my hips, lower back/kidney area, sometimes it hurts to poo, but whenever I pee or have my period, I feel better for some reason. I have not had my period yet this month though. I got tested for a UTI last month and they said I didn't have it but they made me take pills anyways, that made me hurt more. I barely can stand without pain, and it hurts to lay down in certain positions. I don't know what it is. Maybe I have something more? Please help.

Hello and thank you for sharing your question.

Usually people with trichomoniasis, or any STD, have no symptoms.  The symptoms you do have (hip, low back pain) is not related to STD's.

For now, finish both medications you are using.  Odds are you are feeling side effects from the medications.  After finishing the medications, you will probably feel better over all.  However it will take time for your body to clear them out of your system.  Either way, if you have symptoms even after finishing the medications, then it will be more clear if you have a completely different complication or it is just a side effect of the medication.

These symptoms have been going on for over a month. I've been taking them only a week.
