Can Vagina's have Allergies? Yes they can......
Ladies have you every decided to go that next step to subtract condoms from your relationship and wondered if a man gave you a disease just because your she-va was acting up. ESPECIALLY when you know for a fact that your Gyno cleared you of any STD's? Well before you jump up and curse his ass out, you may be suffering from Seminal Plasma Hypersensitivity!
Human Seminal Plasma Hypersensitivity, also intimately referred to as a semen allergy, is a relatively uncommon yet problematic condition. Symptoms will typically appear 5 -30 minutes after the introduction of semen into the vaginal vault and the painful symptoms may persist for days. Researchers know that women are reacting to certain proteins in semen, though it is unclear exactly which ones.
As with other pelvic pain syndromes, semen allergies often cause diagnostic confusion. The symptoms of the reaction resemble yeast infections, vulvodynia, pudendal neuralgia, myofascial pelvic pain syndromes, and sexually transmitted diseases. Patients are often frustrated, medical professionals are often dismissive when standard testing returns negative, and relationships suffer. Those who have accidentally sat on poison ivy or used it for toilet paper as a kid certainly can feel compassion for these women.
Here are some symptoms of allergies include itching, redness, swelling, blistering, pain, hives, breathing difficulty, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis. Imagine those nasty symptoms occurring in a vagina after intercourse, an activity that is suppose to be enjoyable. It is true that some women are, in fact, allergic to certain men.
To make a diagnosis, previously mentioned conditions must be ruled out. Following a normal work-up, if a woman does not have any sign of pelvic pain or an allergic reaction during intercourse while using a condom but clearly does without, a board-certified allergist should be put on speed dial.
Research shows that certain women are allergic to certain men and not to others. Unfortunately, treatments used for standard seasonal allergies have shown no significant effect. Instead of immediately breaking up, the first line of treatment is condom use. All Courtesy of Examiner.com
