Boric acid suppositories are commonly used to help restore a healthy vaginal pH — the kind of balance that gets thrown off by recurring odor, mild yeast imbalance, or bacterial imbalance.
Boric acid suppositories are commonly used to help restore a healthy vaginal pH — the kind of balance that gets thrown off by recurring odor, mild yeast imbalance, or bacterial imbalance. They work by gently adjusting that environment, not by masking the symptom.
Suppositories are inserted vaginally, usually at night so they aren't disturbed by movement.
