A member asked:
I've read on here that boric acid is good for bv and yeast. how often is it safe to douche? don't want pid or cervical cancer
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Boric acid prescrip: Boric acid suppositories are available with a prescription. This is not something you want to be doing on your own at home without medical guidance. Your doctor can prescribe this for you. Cervical cancer comes from the sexually transmitted infection HPV. PID comes from STDs such as gonorrhea and chlamydia.
