I've had BV on and off for the past year. This is really aggravating and no one else really understands. I've taken a lot of medicine and I'm tired of paying for it if the BV is going to come right back. What ways worked for you all the best? I really need help.

    Boric acid suppositories worked the best for me. I ordered the boric acid on Amazon and bought double 00 empty capsules to put it in. I would use 3-4 days in a row, but some ppl need them for up to a week or so. Do not taken boric acid internally. It's ok to use vaginally as it will straighten out your ph. Then I would follow up after that to use a probiotic vaginally for a few nights. Also take the probiotics internally.

      I don't. Some ppl use them after their cycle or sex for maintenance but if I don't have an issue I don't use them. Also, wear a pantiliner while using them because it will give you a very liquid type of discharge. It's completely normal but some ppl don't expect that.

      No, I've never had bleeding with the boric acid suppositories. Have you?

      I haven't ordered any yet. I've been looking at reviews on amazon for different brands. I think it's powder though, that way you can put it in the capsules.

    With the vitamin c , can you keep a tampon inside so it doesn't come out?
