Boric Suppositories
Boric suppositories are a nonprescription option for treating yeast infections and other vaginal issues like bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis. They are typically used as a last-ditch effort after other medications have failed.
The boric suppositories are formulated with boric acid and probiotics, which help fend off yeast and odor-causing bacteria. They also help maintain pH levels, create a healthy vaginal environment, and reduce inflammation.
Yeast Infections, or candidiasis, are an overgrowth of fungus that causes itching and swelling in the vaginal area. They can be caused by hormones, sex, and stress.
Bacterial Vaginosis
Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis include itching and a foul-smelling vaginal discharge, and can occur after antibiotic treatment. Other symptoms include pain while urinating and sex, and redness around the labia and vagina.
Boric Acid Suppositories: A Natural Solution for Vaginal Health
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection that occurs through the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Symptoms of trichomoniasis include itching and a foul-smelling, yellow or green vaginal discharge.
How to Use Suppositories
To get the most benefit from suppositories, it is recommended to insert them at night or during your period. The suppositories will dissolve slowly over time and may come out of your vagina, so it is a good idea to wear a panty liner to prevent leakages on your clothes.
Safe for Pregnancy
If you’re pregnant, do not use boric acid suppositories as they can be harmful to your fetus. They can also cause irritation to any wounds or tears in the vaginal area and may irritate your cervix and the skin around it. It is best to talk to your healthcare provider about what treatment options are right for you.
