Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a type of vaginal inflammation caused by the overgrowth of bacteria naturally found in the vagina, which upsets the natural balance.
While BV can affect women at any age, women in their reproductive years are most likely to get bacterial vaginosis. Certain activities, such as unprotected sex can increase your risk.
Bacterial vaginosis signs and symptoms may include:
- Thin, gray, white, or green vaginal discharge
- Foul-smelling "fishy" vaginal odor
- Vaginal itching
- Burning during urination
BV can lead to other health complications, while also making you more susceptible to other infections and STIs.
What can you do to get rid of BV and prevent it from coming back?
Along with having antifungal properties, boric acid has been proven as a successful way to fight BV. Boric Acid is a natural compound that's been used for over a century in many different home remedies for bacterial vaginosis.
BORIC ACID helps to promote the proper acid balance in the vagina. It is used to help treat yeast infections of the vagina and relieve symptoms such as itching and burning.
How quickly does boric acid work?
With boric acid suppositories, you may begin to see symptoms improve in as little as a day.
