Boric acid suppositories are a popular home remedy for vaginal yeast infections. They work by killing off yeast and stopping the infection from spreading. They also help balance out the “good” bacteria in your vagina.
How long will you go to the bathroom after a suppository?
When used correctly, boric acid suppositories can be very effective for treating mild to moderate infections. However, they’re usually only recommended as a second line of treatment after antibiotics or other medications haven’t worked.
The key to using a boric acid suppository while pregnant safely is to follow the directions closely. It’s also important to talk with your doctor if you have any serious health conditions, allergies, or are pregnant or breast-feeding.
You should never use these suppositories on your own. Instead, talk with your gynecologist about which treatment is right for you.
Some doctors suggest a suppository as the first line of treatment for BV. They may recommend it if you have a history of BV or are getting frequent infections.
A suppository should be inserted far enough into your vagina to reach the area where you’re infected. Otherwise, the suppository could cause irritation or burning.
If you use this suppository too often, it can strip away the “good” bacteria in your vagina. This can lead to an increase in bad odors and discomfort.
When you use boric acid suppositories, you should also use a panty liner at night to prevent irritation and burning. You should always wash your hands after insertion.
Boric acid is a safe, effective treatment for mild to moderate yeast infections. It should clear the infection completely within 1 to 2 weeks of starting treatment. It should also stop recurrences of the infection.
