My girlfriend is allergic to my semen. HELP!?

Question

Both me and my partner are disease free and completely monogamous. Once in a while when we have intercourse, she'll get a yeast infection a few days after. I know from research that it is possible for a woman to be allergic to her partners semen, but what is the cure? Is there something I can do change this (diet, drink more water)? I've never had this problem before.

Answer 1

Allergic reaction to semen or seminal fluid is a rare, but an important condition that has not been known to many people. In this special condition, symptoms of allergies appear several minutes to few hours after exposure to man’s semen due to intercourse or even by contact to skin.

If it was a true allergy it would not present as a yeast infection.
Symptoms characterized by: rash, mild to intense itching and burning of vagina and or skin, sometimes associated with swelling. In case of severe reaction the allergic person may develop systemic or anaphylactic reaction. The symptoms of systemic reaction includes rash and hives all over the body with severe itching; edema of the eyelids, face, and body; swelling of the throat, and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases: nausea, vomiting, rapid, weak pulse and even sometimes drop in blood pressure, coma, and shock might follow which is dangerous.

The cause of semen allergy is not known. However, the semen acts as a foreign body antigen for allergic individuals. Those women who are allergic to semen of their husband or sexual partner will have problems with other men’s semen and changing male partners does not resolve the problem. To confirm diagnoses of semen allergy, blood test and skin test is possible, but skin test is more valuable. In this method a blood test for syphilis viral hepatitis and HIV should be done on the donor. If results were negative, then a full seminal fluid is obtained and after sterilization a drop of the fluid is placed on the patient’s skin and skin is scratched or pricked and after fifteen minutes the results will be read.

Prevention is the best choice for the management of semen allergy. The male partner should always use a condom to prevent woman’s exposure to the semen. In case of accidental exposure, patient should have antihistamines available to take immediately after contact.

If any sign of systemic reaction develops, patient should be taken to emergency room or paramedics should be called if the reaction seemed to be life threatening. Administration of antihistamines before sexual activity may or may not be helpful and would be more effective if used along with prevention (use of condom). Immunotherapy or allergy shots has been used to immune the allergic individual.

Answer 3

Yeast infection or thrush is not an STD, so you guys can be completely monogamous and your partner can still get it. Thrush is an infection caused by a yeast called Candida. Small numbers of Candida commonly live on the skin and around the vaginal area. In moist areas where the conditions are good for Candida, then it will multiply and hence cause problems. There is no much reason concerning why thrush occurs, but usually, if the person has a poor immune system, or has taken antibiotics, or if she has diabetes or chemo, or pregnant then they are more susceptible to thrush.

That said, more than half of all women has had thrush in their lives.

Bigdadykyle, It is probably not an allergy. You might be re-infecting her with thrush when you have sex because you have low level infection yourself. Try and get a medication called Canestan*. Have your gf apply it to her intimate parts and you apply it to your dick. See the directions. Hope this helps.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a check-up with your doc.

Allergic reaction can happen more when couples are new & their body fluids mingle. It could be you're re-infecting, allergic reaction to to latex, or stress.
