I was wondering if anyone has had any bleeding and pelvic pain from using boric acid vaginally? I thought i was getting a yeast infection and decided to start on the suppositories. On the third day i noticed a lot of pelvic discomfort and lots of bright red blood. I continued with one more day before the pain and blood were worrisome. So after the fourth day I discontinued using the boric acid and the bleeding stopped but my vulva was very irritated. It was very red, dry and it hurt on the right side of the entrance to my vagina. I did notice that I now have little things on my labia minora that appear to be vestibular papillomatosis. I've been in a relationship for nearly 13 years so I was extremely worried that my partner was unfaithful and I may have contracted an STD... honestly, I'm still a little worried. I will have STD testing done in a few days just so i know but I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience using boric acid? thanks so much!
i have read some bad reviews online about the use of boric acid its actually a poison an has not been proven or trialed in the treatment for bv u should stop using it u may be doing more harm than good its not been proven to treat it just gets rid of the smell for a few days not a long term cure
the vp is not an std its usually common if u have had a vaginal infection for a long time
thank you for your reply. I really think the boric acid caused a lot of issues. I'm still going to get tested just to be safe. I'm so uncomfortable and it worries me and has me fearing for the worst
u should be ok if u have stopped using it but ye get tested to be sure iv read online it can cause burns and stuff to the outside of the vagina i was going to try it but thought id look into it a bit further before giving it a try after everything i read online i decided just to go bck to the doctors and she gave me some cream to try instead had no side effects with that
hi, I know this thread is a while ago but I have the exact syptoms from using boric acid. Have you figure out whether bleeding/pelvic pain is normal, did you continue to use it? thanks
how long did it take for your pelvic pains to stop ? im experiencing burning and pain in my ovaries i tried boric acid for 7 days it didnt work just left me in so much pain
hi i notice you comment 2 weeks ago hopefully you see this, but im experiencing the same thing im worried and dont want to panic and wondering what was your experience and what happen after ?
I had the same exact experience with this product!!!!
Hi! I'm having the exact symptoms and I'm extremely worried! Have your symptoms gotten any better yet?
Some acids cause discomfort when using them, some cause more pain, but work better, and some do not hurt at all. You might feel abit of discomfort using the cream or gel acid, but the goodness outweighs the badness. I would refrain from sex until these spots are gone.
Do be careful with boric acid, i do bleed when i use them, it used to not be much but recently its like a 1day period. But most important, DO NOT RECEIVE ORAL SEX WHEN YOU HAVE RECENTLY INSERTED ONE, even a day or two after. They are fatal when ingested. They could kill or make sick your partner, I have been taking these on and off for 2 years and i just found this out and i read alot of reviews and articles pertaining to boric acid and vaginal issues and have never came across this, and am scared, did everyone else know this and i missed it?? Nevertheless, they help with my UTIs and i feel as long as im careful and bleeding doesn't get out of control, i will continue them on a maybe 2x week basis. If I dont ill have neverending uti and can't be with my husband.
I have been bleeding and having abdominal pains for almost two mths. I went to the doctor and they gave me birth control pills to stop the bleeding but when i take the birth control pill late the bleeding starts back. Its has been heavy too smh im scared and dont know what to do. I wanted to have a second child but it doesnt look like its going to happen now after the suppositories.
i think i have figured out how to get rid of this. (im not a doctor) but i had experinced bleeding and it freaked me out so i went to the doctor. i learned it is coming from my cervix. i didnt mention the boric acid because i didnt think it was harmful bc ive used it in the past so mant times. maybe its this bittle i have... the boric acid has to be irritating my cervix lining. the dr gave me an antibiotic for cervicitis because bleeding stopped. i didnt use any boric acid until yesterday and guess what. im bleeding again. so ask your doctor about this.
I purchased the PH-D Brand Boric Acid Vag Suppositories (Purchased at Walgreens), use it one time. After 2 days I got a water discharge. I started wearing liners. Day 6, I notice a light pink discharge. Used a liner and on day 7 the discharged turned dark brown. It is day 7 and I am bleeding so heavy that I have to use stage 5 super-long pads. No STD because I have not been sexually active in over 3 years. I was using it for a yeast infection. Has this happened to anyone else?
Its been very strange for me because the same pills you purchased are the same ones i have purchased too. I only used two pills within the 12 hours & everything seemed to be okay, after two days of not using the pills i began to bleed the same way you are, it started off as brownish red blood & now its like im on my period with my full flow & all, & its sorta reminding me of my period since i am getting the familiar cramping pain in my tummy & on my back. & the strangest thing of it all is that i just got off my period about a week ago, i have a regular monthly flow. Im very confused & very worried.
About 6 months ago I'd started experiencing some mild pelvic pain so I immediately went to see my OB/Gyn. As soon as she started the exam she noticed a discharge and told me it was BV. All of my other test results including cervical cancer came back negative. Doctor explained it can come from stress, diet, hormonal changes, etc. She gave me pills to take and the issues subsided. But it came back so I tried the boric acid suppositories PhD. I soon experienced worse pelvic pain. Now the pain comes and goes since I started and I've noticed a mild light pink bleeding and brown spotting. My menstruation should not be due at this time. I do have another appointment to see my OB/ Gyn next week. This time I will ask to have another uterine testing and an ultrasound to check ovaries, etc. This way I will feel relieved knowing all is good.
it happened to me on Saturday. I used this in the morning and felt a slight pinch and a little cramping and didn't think anything of it at the time and by afternoon I had light spotting. By the next day i had a full blown period! and i don't really get them much anymore and when i do they are pretty light. I am using a menstrual cup AND pads. Hopefully it goes away in the next day or so.
Im happy that i found this forum. My situation is i was having ongoing yeast infections and nothing was working. My cousin suggested BA suppositories. The reviews on Amazon were good so i went for it. I think my biggest mistake was putting 2 in 12 hours apart. 1 each time. I put one in at 12 AM on Thursday and around 12 PM Thursday. By 3 AM Friday morning I had blood on the tissue when I wiped. Later on while having a bm a clot came out. It cleared up by Saturday morning. It started looking like old blood and then it was gone. Saturday evening fresh blood came back and it's been happening every since. I went to urgent care Tuesday morning and an exam was done along with an ultrasound on my pelvis. A scope/camera was inserted in my vagina. She found a fibroid and some tissue growing. Ultimately I know the BA triggered this. I'm bleeding so heavy with blood clots. I'm about to lose my health insurance so I want this problem to go away because I'm scared. Today is Wednesday so it's been almost a week since this has started.
Anyone have any follow ups? Like did the bleeding go away? How long did it last? This is my first time using these. I put one in before bed Tuesday and one before bed Wednesday. Putting Wednesdays in hurt. Its Thursday morning and when I went pee I noticed the tissue was pink. I take birth control to STOP my cycle so I never bleed. I won't use anymore of these.....but will it stop or get worse or what?
