If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, immediately visit a gynaecologist to verify if you really have a yeast infection. If you are pregnant, you should not use boric acid in any form.

Boric acid is recommended by many doctors as treatment for vaginal infections. Boric acid is toxic and can lead to kidney damage or death if you absorb enough of it. Those who have sensitive skin, boric acid may not be a good choice. Home remedies include use of oregano oil, which is a natural blood thinner.
