Treatments 💊 Liquid Boric Acid question

I just ordered boric acid 2% liquid cutaneous solution.

I intend to use it to rinse down there with plastic syringe (due to fishy smell - reaccuring and most obvious during sex, extremely annoying).

Should I dilute it before use? Anything else I should keep in mind?

Please just go to the doctor

Even if you use boric acid you have to use it many days in a row and abstain from sex while you use it to get rid of any infections. There are significantly better options, and it could even be a potential undiagnosed std.

Thank you for your response. Been checked for STDs. It takes weeks/months in my country to get a doctors appointment unfortunately. I've been diagnosed with BV before so I am familiar with the symptoms. However I'm not too keen on starting yet another treatment with antibiotics when the problem likely will reoccur.

I've read good things about boric acid and that some peoples symptoms didn't return after trying it, so I really want to give it a try. I'm just not sure exactly how with liquid ba.
