Vaginal Infections Being Treated but Second Infection? Finding Relief with New Technology

If you’re tired of getting vaginal infections repeatedly and after treating the original infection, having a new one develop in just weeks isn’t only frustrating, it can be very exhausting both physically and emotionally and can lead to feelings of isolation. In addition to the traditional means of treatment using over-the-counter creams or prescriptions, many women are now discovering that they can break the cycle of chronic vaginal infections through the use of personalized compounded boric acid suppositories.

This idea is not new; however, it is now being recognized for the type of results that it is producing and how it works in a different way than traditional methods. Essentially, compounded boric acid suppositories help return your body’s bacterial balance back to normal. The vagina is a unique ecosystem that requires a specific and relatively low acid pH; with that environment in mind, if the acidic environment becomes disturbed or depleted (e.g. after intercourse, during your menstrual cycle, and so on), a condition known as “yeast overgrowth” can occur.

This is where boric acid comes in. In a precise, pharmaceutical-grade form, it acts like a targeted reset button. A suppository inserted at bedtime gently helps restore that optimal acidic environment. This makes things uncomfortable for the “bad” microbes while supporting the protective, “good” ones. It’s a strategy often recommended for recurring bacterial vaginosis (BV), stubborn yeast infections, or as a maintenance step after antibiotics to help prevent everything from bouncing back.

The real game-changer is the compounding part. This isn’t a mass-produced, one-size-fits-all product. At a compounding pharmacy like ours, we prepare each suppository individually based on your doctor’s prescription. This means:

Tailored Strength: Dosing made just for your needs.

Purity & Quality: We use high-grade boric acid powder, avoiding common irritants like dyes, preservatives, or unnecessary fillers found in some products.

Personalized Base: We can choose a suppository base that’s right for you—maybe a soothing coconut oil blend or a water-soluble option—to maximize comfort and effectiveness.

IMPORTANT: Boric acid suppositories should only be inserted into the vagina and should never be ingested through the mouth. Generally, boric acid suppositories are used for a limited time (usually anywhere between 7 to 14 days) and under the supervision of your physician. Not all women may use a boric acid suppository and women who are pregnant, in particular, should not use one. Before using any medicine or treatment, please discuss it with your doctor.

If you’ve tried the “quick fixes” that aren’t solving your cyclic issue, you may want to investigate the possibility of getting boric acid therapy tailored to you personally from your physician. We can assist you with providing you with a custom-made quality product that is comfortable and supports your long-term health.
