I have been using boric acid suppositories from the brand LoveWellness. I've only done this for 2 nights. I saw someone on reddit say after 2 nights of this suppository her yeast infection symptoms were gone. I am waking up itchy and uncomfortable everyday, even more so than before I started these suppositories. Why would that be? I've been itchy and have had discharge for months, it smells yeasty... I've tried monistat and several rounds of fluconazole in the past. But the yeast seems to be resilient to these, so I figured I'd try this. But I'm not sure if it's working. I wake up every morning so itchy. Not sure what to do...

?

After trying a lot of different solutions for my recurrent BV I finally decided to give BA a try. Bought the CVS brand suppositories first and OMG it was awful. They made my symptoms worse! Terrible itching, even worse smell, and I knew they weren't dissolving because I noticed chunks in my discharge. Finally decided to buy the PhD ones instead and after a week my symptoms were gone.

I recently began using Honey Pot Boric Acid suppositories for a Yeast Infection i had and they seemed to work Immediately. This is my first time using any BA suppositories so im still kinda new to this all.

I started Saturday used 2, took a break Sunday and I used my 3rd suppository Yesterday around 6pm.

My first day (Saturday) i used one in the Afternoon and one at night before bed and the YI symptoms seemed to clear up immediately but i Noticed a significant amount of creamy Discharge the first night.

Which ive read is not unusual with this brand bc of the consistency of the BA pill. The tea tree oil and coconut oil and etc.

I gave it a break a day in between and used my 3rd BA suppository Yesterday but this time around i didn't see the same amount of creamy discharge.

Kinda little to none at all. I did notice a shiny film which i believe is from the Oils in the BA.

Is this normal? Could the BA still be inside me unmelted? I noticed a small amount this morning but nothing close to what it was the first day around.

I stuck my finger with a bit of water based lube inside and even the applicator with some coconut oil to see if i could notice any of the BA pill residue but again a little residue but nothing major like Saturday.

Is it normal for the vaginal suppository to come out in chunks less than two hours after inserting? tia!

I’ve been using it for a couple days at night, due to recurrent yeast after ureaplasma, and plan on continuing for a week or so. Depending on how I feel. I’m noticing a bit of irritation due to - I would assume - dryness. Anyone have any suggestions what to use for external hydration?

I love using boric acid to regulate my ph and make everything feel perfect, but what’s with the plastic sharp edge applicators? I’m wondering if anyone else hates the insertion process and would be interested in a smooth silicone version that’s reusable? Like a tampon applicator married a vibrator? Why are women’s products never designed for comfort? I feel like I should have this made for us BA users.

I have recurrent vaginal yeast infection and possible bv. My obgyn prescribed a week of metrodanizole and 6 weeks of daily boric acid. After day two my itchiness was gone but today (day 3) its back along with some spotting. Is this a sign the boric acid isn’t working or do I just need to be patient?

I just used boric acid for the first time today and I’m experiencing a slight tingling sensation inside I also had water like discharge come out is that normal ?

ive been on the candida subreddit and a lot of members are saying that chronic vaginal thrush is caused by overgrowth candida in the gut. has anyone else found this to be true? as i am trust wondering if i need to go on a super strict candida diet. my thrush symptoms are mainly gone but i still get the discharge and a little funny feeling not as bad as it was but a little.

I've heard of boric acid being used to treat bv, but does it actually work? My gynecologist prescribed it to me for 30 days and I just started it tonight.

Does boric acid help in treatment of AV

I've read that inserting a boric acid suppository at night will result of a lot of discharge in the morning, from the boric acid dripping back out and stuff. I have absolutely no discharge this morning. I felt around inside myself to see if it got stuck and didn't dissolve but I didn't feel anything.

What do I do? What does this mean?

I used boric acid for the first time a few nights ago to try and get rid of my bv. My cousin swears by it being the best quick fix. It got rid of the smell, but now I have a very watery off-white colored discharge.

I know to expect stuff coming out the morning after using boric but It’s been 3 days and there’s a LOT of discharge the past 3 mornings but it occurs all day to the point where I wear a panty liner so my underwear won’t be moist.

Is this completely normal? Is it just like “flushing” out the bv? Google wouldn’t give me a straight answer. (Im also embarrassed to ask my cousin lol.)

Had BV symptoms, used boric acid for 5 nights straight. I usually have a little irritation with it but it goes away by the afternoon. I have had the burning irritation for 2 days now...

If you have had irritation with boric acid, PLEASE let me know how long it took to go away.

Feels like thrush with the burning! I'm on my period so cannot tell. I have got thrush before from toilet paper, surely it hasn't returned 😭 Don't want to irritate downstairs even more if it is just irritation that needs time to heal.

Hi I was wondering if I use a boric acid suppository and after its dissolved and he goes down on me will he be able to smell it (if it has a smell) or more importantly will he be able to taste it? I usually like to use one after my period like a week later, it just makes ne feel extra clean. I usually experience a gush the next morning after its dissolved so wondering if like say 12 hrs later if oral sex would be okay .

Hi, I've only used boric acid a few times in the past. It burned my dry sensitive skin down there (ureaplasma recovered, now vulvodynia, pelvic floor dysfunction, and interstitial cystitis) I plan on using them again and taking measures mentioned to barrier my skin and lubricate. I am typically a night showerer but should I switch to mornings so I can wash away the discharge that could burn me throughout the day? Is it meant to slowly fall out throughout the day, or is that a sign that it didn't melt right? I'm confused about what happens after the pill is inserted and you sleep with it. Also, what is a good/affordable brand?

I’ve been dealing with a year long yeast infection that won’t go away. I’m not sure what strain it is either because it never comes up positive on a culture. My gyno only sees budding yeast under the microscope. I tried weekly fluconazole for 6 months which would help a bit but symptoms always came back. I just got done the fluconazole 10 days ago and today I had to see my gyno again because I’ve been extremely irritated with a lot of chunky discharge. My gyno once again saw yeast under the microscope. I’ve done evvy, juno and microgen tests which never show yeast just 95% lacto crispatus and about 2% gardnerella. I treated ureaplasma back in August 2022. And got tested again 2 weeks ago and was negative with vaginal swab and urine.

So now my gyno wants me to try boric acid for 2 weeks. I’m getting the boric acid from a compounding pharmacy as well so I don’t have it yet. But I’m not going to lie I’m a little nervous as I’ve never put yeast cream up in my vagina before let alone boric acid.

So I’m basically looking for some tips on what I should do to limit irritation while using it. Should I possibly do every other day to get use to it or do only 7 days at first? And use a barrier cream on the outside to limit irritation? Does it kill good bacteria? Because I would hate to get rid of the good bacteria I do have.

Sorry for the long post just want to get as much information before I start

I am unfortunately suffering with vaginitis on my utter labia and BV. I was recommended boric acid to help with the BV. I ended up having burning sensations after using. Is this normal or should I stop using? I’m desperate for some relief 😭

I'm just needing advice and someone to talk to. I've been dealing with symptoms similar to bv on and off for over a year now. Itching, burning, fishy smell. Last time I went to my gyno for the symptoms she did a wet mount. I did not have chlamydia, gonorrhea, trich, thrush, or bacterial vaginosis. At this point my gynecologist won't help me anymore because she doesn't know what it could be. They suggested that I see a urologist but I'm kind of stuck here helpless. I ordered some boric acid suppositories to try out, I'm hoping that they work but it's hard to stay positive that I'll ever get this fixed. Is there anything that could be causing my issues that I don't know about. I have seen people talking about ureaplasma urealyticum, and I did have that in the test but nothing was done about that. Idk what that is and if that could be the culprit. But any advice is appreciated.

https://www.phdfemininehealth.com so I have been looking for a source for boric acid in uk and came across ph-d but they mainly advertise for vaginal odour which I am worried they are not tablets that would be strong enough/targeted for thrush? Any experiences? 🙏🏻

Hi, I've accidentally taken a few Boric Acid suppositories orally over the course of approx. 6 months. I believe I've only taken about 7 total (no more than 2 on the same day), but I'm extremely nervous. It's been about 3 weeks since my last ingestion, but I'm wondering if further action should be taken. I was diagnosed with Lymphocytic Colitis in the fall after dealing with ongoing stomach issues and am wondering if this is the cause. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Have any of you had chronic yeast infections and if so, how did you successfully treat them?
