Thread: correcting vaginal ph balance

So since nothing else seems to explain the problem I've been having for 19 months now, my doctor seems to think I simply have a vaginal ph imbalance. To correct this, she's prescribed boric acid suppositories for me and told me to insert 1 a week for 12 weeks.

I just used my 3rd one (so, on week 3 of treatment) and I still have the same symptoms--yellow discharge and occasional irritation. If I've had a ph imbalance for a year and a half, how long (using this treatment) should it take for my symptoms to start disappearing?

Also, last year I did a 14-day treatment of boric acid (1 a day for 2 weeks), and it didn't do anything. So will taking 1 a week for a longer period of time actually potentially even help if taking them for 2 weeks straight did nothing? I've told my doctor I've tried boric acid before, and she still seems to be convinced this treatment plan of hers will help...

I'm so discouraged. Ugh.
