Bacterial vaginosis or BV occurs when the pH balance is off in the vagina and it results in an odor and white vaginal discharge.
Dr. Nita explains boric acid is not the first line of treatment for BV but for people who have reoccurring BV, which is three or more episodes within a year, it may be used along with an antibiotic.
