How to Use Boric Acid Suppositories for BV

The most common symptoms of bacterial vaginosis are a foul odor that comes from the vagina, pain or burning when urinating, itching, and a thick, odorless discharge. These symptoms are typically treated with antibiotics, but in about 50% of cases the infection recurs.

When a BV infection recurs, it’s considered a chronic situation. That’s why many doctors prescribe boric acid suppositories as part of a regimen to prevent future infections.

Why Use Boric Acid Suppositories

A healthy vagina is naturally acidic, which can help reduce the growth of fungi, bacteria and other pathogens. However, if your vagina isn’t naturally acidic, you can become more susceptible to yeast infections and other types of vaginitis, including trichomonas infections.

In addition to preventing yeast infections, boric acid can be used to treat trichmoniasis, an infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. Studies on trichmoniasis have been small, but it’s a condition that may be worth talking to your doctor about if you have recurring bacterial or yeast infections. Keep in mind that boric acid suppositories are not FDA-approved for trichmoniasis, so you’ll need to talk to your doctor about whether they’re right for you.
