Why did your practitioner recommend Utiva Boric Acid Vaginal Suppositories?

Although there may be some symptoms that resemble those of vaginal yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis (BV) has a different origin and requires a different course of therapy. Yeast infections and BV are both included in the large classification of vaginal infections known as vaginitis. These infections affect women frequently. Typically, they can be adequately treated without developing any long-term issues. BV is caused by an organism that is usually present in your vagina but has grown out of control. Lactobacilli, the "good" bacteria, typically outweigh anaerobes, the "bad" bacteria. When anaerobic bacteria overwhelm the normal balance of microorganisms in your vagina, bacterial vaginosis occurs.

Bacteria and yeast may get a bad rap, but they are both expected and critical for your vaginal health. The two work together to protect your reproductive system and keep a healthy pH (and balance is everything!) When the delicate vaginal ecosystem becomes out of whack, Utiva Boric Acid can help restore pH balance.
