I have found the use of boric acid suppositories very effective. You instruct the patient to purchase boric acid OTC, give her a Rx for gelatin capsules size O, she then fills the capsule herself, inserts high in the vaginal at bedtime for one week and prn after that...this treatment was also supported by many clinicians who sat-in on one of the Ask-the Prof" sessions at ACOG San Francisco 1995.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
