For Dermatological Disorders "During my last Pap smear, my doctor found I had BV and that my cervix was irritated. BV has given me a disgusting odor for months, and my doctor prescribed me the gel inserts. After reading the reviews for the gel, I was horrified! I decided to take boric acid suppositories instead since it felt like the safer route with less harmful effects. I’m so glad I did that. I had no side effects, it was easy to insert, and I slept like a baby afterward. I woke up this morning after one night of using it so far, and the odor is barely there. The only thing left behind was a little bit of gritty discharge. The gel medication, on the other hand, caused bleeding, new yeast infections, severe cramping, headaches, just for the BV to flare up again/not be cured. I think BV is one of those things that can easily come back if you’re already prone to it, which is why I’m taking the boric acid route. Easier to purchase, quicker results, least side effects!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used boric acid suppositories, and it made my vagina bleed for three months. I had been taking the same birth control for years. There was no other cause for this to happen to me except the boric acid that I used for 5 days."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Omg!! I used it two nights in a row, and now I am cramping bad, bleeding, irritated down there, and even having blood clots. I have to wear a pad due to the constant discharge. I will never again use it again. It’s awful."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I wouldn’t recommend using boric acid. I used this while on Nexplanon birth control, which gave me lots of yeast infections, boric acid made my vagina bleed."
