An Intimate Allergy: Reacting to Semen

[Guest guest]

By Haran

When it comes to relationships, we've all reacted badly to our partner at some

point or another. But some people are actually allergic to their partners—to

their partner's semen, that is. Semen allergy is a rare but often-misdiagnosed

condition that can masquerade as a common yeast infection or herpes infection.

Not surprisingly, the associated pain, redness, burning and swelling can wreak

havoc on some relationships, especially if the woman in the couple is trying to

become pregnant.

You might be reacting to the

prostaglandins in the semen. Check out

http://www.nurseminerva.co.uk/endocrin.html for a good definition of

prostaglandins. The prostaglandins provoke a reaction from the

vaginal tissue.

If you think this could be your situation, take 2 Advil tablets (or

Motrin tablets) at least one hour before intercourse. You might think

" There's no way Advil can stop that pain! " The idea is to prevent it.

Advil (ibruprofen) and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

(NSAIDs) inhibit the prostaglandins. Note that Tylenol is not one of

these special drugs.

There isn't anything you can do to change the make up of semen,

according to the urologist I saw. Semen is created by the prostate

gland, which is independent of the digestive tract. There is no need

to try strange diets in an attempt to alter the contents of semen.

You might have this prostaglandin reaction with only one man, with

some men or with all men with whom you have intercourse.

Try Advil (or the NSAID of your choice)! It just might change your

life.
