The TikTok phenomenon posted a video in which he explains that he uses boric acid suppositories to improve vaginal taste and odor, and that all women can use it too. But doctors say it’s a terrible idea. The TikTok phenomenon claims it “works like magic” and can do everything from curing vaginal dryness to “rebalancing” your vaginal pH after sex.
DANGEROUS TO USE
Boric acid suppositories have been used for many years in the treatment of various ailments such as fungal infections and bacterial vaginosis (BV). Experts underline that boric acid suppositories should only be used to treat certain conditions. They warn that misuse can be dangerous.
Needless to say, you should not believe everything you see on TikTok, especially in this case, it can seriously harm your health.
Boric acid, if used repeatedly, can destroy the good bacteria of the vagina, which is important for maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome. You should not use medication unless your doctor recommends it.
