A member asked:
I'm spotting i'm on birth control so i took boric acid suppositories will that stop the spotting?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely. Boric acid suppositories are possibly useful to treat bacterial vaginosis but that is rarely if ever a cause of bleeding. They should not be used casually or as a preventative. The spotting is an occasional symptom from the birth control pill and will normally resolve with your next cycle.

Please see your Gynecologist for a thorough physical examination and treatment as needed. If you are not confident in your Gynecologist please see another for a second opinion.
