How to Insert Boric Acid Supppositories

How to insert boric acid suppositories? Boric acid is a vaginal antibiotic that helps balance the pH in your vagina. It helps fight a variety of symptoms associated with BV, such as burning, itching, odor, and abnormal discharges.

How to use a boric acid suppository

First, wash your hands. Then, using an applicator or your finger, insert a capsule as far into your vagina as you can comfortably go.

Then, lie down and wait for a few minutes to ensure the suppository has completely dissolved. This should take about 15 minutes.

Depending on the product and how severe your infection is, you may need to use one suppository every day for 2 weeks or longer. It is best to start treatment early so you can prevent further infections.

You can also ask your healthcare provider about taking boric acid in combination with other medications for more effective results. However, it should not be taken by mouth, as it can cause harmful effects if swallowed.

A few women experience mild burning and irritation when they use boric acid. This is usually due to not inserting the suppository far enough into your vagina or if there is any open skin or irritated tissue in your vagina.
