Can you use boric acid suppositories if you're pregnant?
What about if you're breastfeeding?
Do I need to stop having intercourse while I'm using boric acid?
All of these are questions that I get time and time again in the comments section of
my videos when I make videos about Boric acid suppositories.
So this video I'm going to answer all of the top questions so if you want to know the answer
to those questions and make sure you keep on watching this video, then TJ, Hey, welcome
y'all.
Welcome.
If you want to know, I'm Quinn CJ and this right here is the number one place to be for
self care information and education strictly for the ladies.
So this is the third video in a series of videos that I have done about boric acid suppositories.
So if you have not checked those out, I'll put a link to those right here in the white
card.
You just tap that, it'll take you there.
And I also put a link to it in the description of this video so you can go and check those
videos out.
Because in those videos I go more in depth about work accident.
But this video right here, this one right here is all about those questions that I get
in the comment sections of those videos.
So we're going to answer them.
Y'all are gonna know, you know everything you need to know hopefully.
And then you know, you could make a decision of whether of whether or not work as it is
for you.
Okay.
So if this is the first video that you are seeing about boric acid suppositories, I'll
go ahead and give you just a little real quick summary of what boric acid suppositories are,
what they do.
So boric acid suppositories have been kind of buzz lately, especially here on YouTube
because women are starting to find out that they can use this as a treatment for bacterial
vaginosis, um, for a yeast infections.
And then just to feel a little fresh, I see a lot of women saying, I just use them prophylactically,
just, you know, to make sure everything stays cool down there.
Now it does not treat STDs and you know, any kind of major pelvic inflammatory disease
or anything like that.
But if you have a yeast, you know you can buy it over the counter.
I used sufficient products and this is just another option, but women who are not having
any success with antibiotic treatments or those over the counters are finding success
with boric acid.
And that's not to say that there are not some side effects and drawbacks.
I do have a video that tells you all about the side effects in detail of work acid and
the things that you should look out for.
So if you are here and you already know all that stuff, you just want to know the answers
to the questions you've been wanting to know the answers to.
Right.
So let's go ahead and jump into question number one.
So the first question that I see a lot of, and these are not in any particular order,
not in any order I don't guess.
But the first question I get a lot is can I use boric acid suppositories while I am
on my period?
So the answer to that is yes, you can use boric acid suppositories when you're on your
cycle, just as you can use those over the counter treatments when you're on your cycle.
Now if you normally use tampons or menstrual cups or something like that, I would not personally
use those at the same time that I'm using the boric acid suppositories, I would use
a pad because one thing with the boric acid suppositories is that the next morning when
you get up, you're more than likely going to have some discharge and you're going to
get the remnants of that suppository after it melted.
When you went asleep, when you were asleep and in bed last night, all that kind of comes
out.
So I would aware a pad because a tampon could like absorb it and then it's in there and
you just don't want none.
You just use a pad.
Okay.
So another question that I get quite often is can I use it during the day?
So the quick answer to that is I'm going to say, yeah you could, but I would not.
And the reason for that is when you go to bed at night and insert the suppository, it
has all night to work because you're laying sleds, it's inserted.
It's not just going to run out like you would if you put it in in the morning.
You at work are you at school and you just, you know, going all about your day.
You don't have time to kind of like, you know, stay in there and do the doodle work like
he would if you put it in at night.
So I definitely think putting it in at night is the best option so that you can get the
best results.
Okay.
So another question that I have gotten has been whether or not you can use it when you're
under the age of 18.
So, um, if you are under the age 18, I would definitely say consult your parents or your
guardian when you have any kind of issues because at that age you may not be 100% sure
that it is just, it could be something else.
It could be something else.
So let your parents know, you know, they may want to take you to the doctor to get you
checked out, but let that be their decision Borg as it does have some toxic side effects
if it is used improperly.
So you don't, you don't want that to happen.
You don't want none of that to happen.
So if you under 18 I'll go here and let your parent know what's going on and let them make
that decision.
If they haven't heard of boric cid suppositories, then you can definitely let them watch the
video.
You know, they can watch one of the videos that I have so they can be informed about
it and then they can help make the right decision for you because they care about you.
I didn't want to do the right thing for you.
Right.
So yeah, let your parents know because there is some indication that say don't use it when
you're under 12 years old, but you know, if you 13 you just a year away from 12 like you
don't know that.
But you know what I'm saying, Ash, a parent, before you go use boric acid suppositories
definitely.
Definitely, definitely do not ingest.
Do not take in your mouth.
Do not swallow work as suppositories.
That's bad, bad, bad, bad.
Hey, sorry to interrupt.
But if you are not a part of the community, then I would love to have you.

So you get notifications every time a new video comes out, I would love
to have you be a part of the qMunity so another very common question I get asked is can I
use boric acid suppositories when I'm pregnant?
Okay.
And my answer to that is going to be no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The hasn't really been any studies about it.
Nobody has any data, official data of whatnot saying no, not to use it when you're pregnant,
but we know when you use it, if it happens to get into your blood stream by a hood or
something going on and abrasion or something down there that it could be toxic.
So we definitely would not want it inserting the blood stream or even giving it the opportunity
to buy using it.
When you are with the baby, with child, you little fetus don't be using it.
Now if you are pregnant and you're having signs of BV or yeast anything like that, I
suggest you go on, you talk to your doctor about it, they can prescribe you something
or they may even tell you to go use something over the counter.
But you need to talk to your doctor first and find out what it is your OB GYN wants
you to do.
Okay.
And so another question that goes along the lines of this question would be, can I use
it when I'm breastfeeding?
So the answer to that is also going to be, let me, let me lean in.
No, don't use it when you're breastfeeding or pregnant.
We have now answered the portion of the video that is ASMR.
I'm actually in the library in a little cubicle, but I wanted to tell y'all, but the number
one question is, or give you the answer to the number one question I get asked.
Undoubtedly this is the number one question and it's a very good question and that is
while using Boric acid suppositories, do I need to abstain?
Good question.
The answer to that is yes.
So you can use it for, you can use it for one day.
I found out that some of them said they just use it as a preventative measure once in awhile,
you know, just one day, boom.
Um, but you can't use it upwards to 14 days in general.
I guess.
Usually you use it for a seven day round.
It depends on what your bottle, your instructions say.
And even for this question, you could call the number of the manufacturer who made your
bottle of suppositories and ask them if it's not stated.
There are some bottles that do stay to wait 24 hours after the last use.
My personal opinion, I would say at least 36 hours.
And that's because you're going to insert it at night.
So let's say if your last, if you do a seven day round and your last one was asserting
one Friday night, I would at least wait til Sunday morning before have intercourse.
But at least 24 hours is what most people are saying
as soon as the one that I get a lot.
Okay.
So this question is can you use this depositories when you have an IUD?
So for this question I had to put on my thinking cap, I had to do some research and I had to
do some callin.
So I can tell you the right information, right?
So first of all, I you, these are two different kinds.
You have the hormonal and you have the non-hormonal, which are the copper IUD.
IES.
Okay.
So I was like, well I want to know, you know, can you use it?
If you go online and Google, you're not really get a definitive answer.
And the thing about that is when you call the companies, you still don't get a definitive
answer.
I want to head, I called, um, one company that produces the copper IUD and I asked them,
you know, with a copper IUD in place, can you use work as a positories?
And the answer they gave me is that has not been tested.
So they do not know it.
Well, you know, they didn't say it like that, but essentially they say that, um, and for
you to go ahead and contact your doctor to see what your doctor says about that.
So that was a copper IUD.
So then I went to hand and call one of the hormonal IUD companies and ask them the same
thing.
And their answer was pretty much the same.
They said that they were not sure if you could or not to go ahead and contact your doctor
and let them make that decision for you.
So guys on, you're going to have to contact your doctor and see what they say.
So definitely contact them though.
I wouldn't just, you know, I'll be lamb, go, Hey [inaudible] contact your doctor.
And then tell them, you know, you're interested in using oric acid suppositoriess.
I will tell you this, some doctors didn't really with using work as a positive, as they
all know, they all know about it.
[inaudible] they probably know of the Roach killer.
I don't know.
They don't know about it.
So they're going to be like, well, you know, they used to prescribe the antibiotics, uh,
you know, telling you to go get a Miconazole, treatment or something.
But nevertheless, you got to run it by him before you use it.
If you have an IUD.
