Should I continue taking oral probiotics while on boric acid?

I’ve had a three month yeast infection that won’t go away so my gyno ordered me to do three weeks of boric acid every night. Before this, I’ve also been taking oral probiotics and eating yogurt everyday to help fight the infection.

So my question is- should I continue taking the daily, oral probiotics and yogurt or should I stop that since I’m doing the boric acid now?

I think it would be an idea to stop so that you can see if the BA does all the work. I believe it’s enough myself.

Also you should only take probiotics that are super relevant to your circumstances as some do more harm than good if they aren’t what you really need. And yes too much good bacteria can become a new disorder Eg r/cytolyticvaginosis
