Are You Allergic to Sperm?

If you have noticed reddish spots on your skin and an itching sensation after sexual intercourse, it's possible that you are allergic to sperm.

Unprotected sexual intercourse usually means only the possibility of sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy. However, scientists have found that you can also have an allergic reaction to the proteins in the sperm. It's possible that you haven't experienced an allergic reaction before because the proportions in the structure of the sperm can somewhat differ in men. Possible reactions are pain in the parts of the body where there was contact with the sperm, itching, reddish spots, swelling and also problems with breathing. Being allergic to sperm can also be life-threatening for some women. Most symptoms of the allergy to sperm occur within 20 or 30 minutes after the contact with semen and they can last from several hours to several days.

How to handle the allergy to sperm? 

One of the simplest ways to deal with your problem is to use condoms, of course. 

If you want to face your allergy to sperm and get rid of it, if possible, injections containing small amounts of your partner’s sperm are the second method. The third method is treatment which lasts several hours, whereby a physician inserts large amounts of the partner’s sperm into your vagina every twenty minutes. The last two methods, which mean active treatment of the allergy, require that you have sexual intercourse with your partner at least two to three times a week, as frequent exposure to the allergen contributes to the success of the treatment.
