BV is a bacterial infection that causes foul-smelling discharge and inflammation of the vagina. This infection can also cause pain when urinating. BV affects about one in four women.

What foods throw off your pH balance?

There are several ways to manage the symptoms of BV. You can use probiotics to rebalance the healthy bacteria in your vagina. Using an antifungal like boric acid may also help. But you should see your doctor first.

Boric acid for bv treatment  is a natural chemical compound derived from boron. It has antifungal and antiviral properties. It has been used in home remedies for vaginal infections for over a hundred years.

Using boric acid is considered safe for most adults. However, it should never be taken orally. This is because it can be toxic. You should also avoid taking boric acid during pregnancy. A recent study reported that boric acid may not be safe for the first trimester of pregnancy.

In addition to treating vaginal yeast infections, boric acid may help fight BV. BV is caused by an imbalance of vaginal bacteria. When the pH level of your vagina is upset, it can cause infection, inflammation and discharge. When the pH level of your vagina returns to normal, the good bacteria will be able to thrive.

Boric acid is also used as an antifungal in topical products. It is believed that it helps fight disease-causing organisms by removing bacterial mucus from the vagina.

While boric acid has been used for over a century in home remedies for BV, more research is needed to determine its effectiveness. This type of treatment is not a substitute for antibiotics.
