Does boric acid cause bladder pain?

@blueskies1530 I am pretty sure your doctor is recommending the use of boric acid as a suppository.

Here is what Cleveland Clinic has to say: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/19641-boric-acid-vaginal-suppository
It might also help with recurring UTIs but not a strong evidence of such. And if it were to do that, the bladder discomfort that comes with a UTI could be affected. Does that make sense?

@gingerw Yes, I understand he's recommending the suppositories to balance my PH. I was just wondering if any IC/BPS patients can use those suppositories comfortably. I tried them six years ago and recall pain but perhaps I used too many or tried too many different vaginal treatments at one time.
