For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ladies, if you are on the fence about taking this like I was, I say this with 100% confidence, BUY IT! I have struggled with chronic yeast infections for about a year and a half now. I would get about one full week a month where I was okay down there. I always had some sort of odor, I was itchy down there all the time, and my discharge was anything but regular. I lost total confidence in myself and I went from having sex with my boyfriend from once a day to maybe once a month due to embarrassment. I decided to give boric acid a try. 600 mg a night for a week straight. I have never felt and smelled better. My pH has finally balanced. I have no odor, no itching, and completely regular healthy discharge. This pill has given me my life back, and I recommend it to anyone who is going through something like I was."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "OMG, I was fine until I used these boric acid insert pills. I have hot burning and some itching. It was nice for a while to feel fresh and clean. But now I have been this way for over a month. I just realized that it’s from the reviews that I feel like this. OMG, will it ever stop? Maybe now I will get over the pain. It’s like my clitoris is on fire, and it hurts all night long, especially when I sit down. Ladies, leave well enough alone. Your body is meant to be the way it is. No creams or sprays should be in that vaginal area. If you have issues, see a doctor or get tested for STD if you think you need to."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Boric acid has been helpful to my symptoms. I had been in and out of urgent care and from my doctor, they all give the antibiotics for STD and much more, but it won't go away. They would tell me I might have diabetes. I told my husband I'll try this boric acid. I only have sex with my husband, I am confused why I have this problem. He checked himself too. But I am worried, I didn't take it for a year and now, right after my monthly period, it was starting to get really itchy again."
