A member asked:
Does intravaginal use of 600 mg boric acid help with treating bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can,: by improving the acidity (more acidic is better) of the vaginal secretions, this makes the pH (acidity measure), less favorable for yeast or BV to grow.
