Ok, this rank high on those allergies that sounds suspicious. These are the kind of stuff that make some people think one can have allergies to just about anything nowadays. Even sex. Ugh, how... tragic!

But it's true. Some women do develop allergic reactions -- rashes and inflammation -- immediately following sexual intercourse. It's not a reaction to the sexual act itself, but apparently, to some proteins in the seminal fluid.

How do you deal with it? First of all, consult with your gynecologist. A temporary solution seems to be to simply use condoms to prevent contact with the allergen. This is obviously no good, however, to those who would like to conceive. In such cases, your gynecologist might refer you to an allergist, for other possible medications or long-term solutions.
