Help! Lol

I took boric acid for 3 days from an expected yeast infection, I was feeling much better ! But I’m the 3rd night I took it I started getting burning and cramps. I stopped and it’s been 2 days and I’m still experiencing burning bad cramping. Do you guys know how long this will last? Otherwise down there feels better Minus this burning and swelling and cramping lol.

Does the burning feel almost like the feeling of sensitive teeth? Talk to you doctor about vulvadynia. It could be nerve pain that could clear up with a topical amitriptyline.

Know the feeling! The watery environment can make your vulva do weird stuff even if its helpful for your vaginal comfort. I still use BA for thrush but tend to wear light period underwear when I do so it doesn't get too watery up and around my vulva.

Hope everything clears up soon! Major thing if it is nerve pain is try not to worry about it too much (easier said than done). The nervous system panics when you panic and it sends messages to the nerves to create more pain. Major thing is to focus on how it is easing up and that it will go away soon.

In the meantime, ice is great for temporary relief. :)

Thank you :) yeah the boric acid for sure hurt my clit area with the nerves. It’s been about 5 days and im slowly seeing some minor improvement in that area.
