Proper sex life is very important for both men and women. It can not only enhance the relationship between husband and wife, but also is good for physical health. Most people think that sexless marriages are usually not long-lasting. However, some people have some abnormalities after sex, which leads to fear of sex. They have symptoms of vulvar itching after sex. What's going on?

Why does my vulva itch after having sex with my husband?

1. Semen allergy

Semen allergy is one of the important reasons for vaginal itching in women after sexual intercourse. The reason for semen allergy is that in addition to sperm, male semen also contains a variety of antigenic substances. If a woman has an allergic constitution, she will have a series of allergic reactions after sexual intercourse.

Milder symptoms include itching of the vulva, congestion of the labia and vaginal opening, and urticaria-like skin on the labia. In severe cases, there may even be systemic reactions, such as chest tightness, difficulty breathing, facial flushing, and large areas of urticaria-like skin.

Countermeasures:

①If the allergic symptoms are not serious, you can try it a few more times. Your body may become immune to semen and the allergic symptoms will gradually disappear.

②If the allergic symptoms are severe and have affected your normal life, you must use condoms during sex to minimize the chance of allergies.

③Go to the hospital for treatment in time. When women are examined, they should try to find the allergens so that they can receive symptomatic treatment.

2. Allergy to condoms and topical contraceptive drugs

Condoms and topical contraceptives are both chemical products. Some people may have allergic reactions to condoms or topical contraceptives.

-Generally, women experience itching in the vulva and congestion in the vaginal opening and vaginal wall. There is a significant increase in vaginal discharge. Men may experience itching on the glans penis, and in severe cases, the glans penis may even become congested, edematous, and eroded.

Countermeasures:

① Stop using condoms and use other contraceptive measures instead.

② Stop sexual intercourse during treatment and within 2 weeks after recovery. Allergic reactions caused by condoms can generally return to normal after 5-7 days of treatment.

③ Do not scratch the area, wash with hot water or soap to avoid aggravating the lesion.

④ Apply chloramphenicol or tetracycline eye ointment topically. You can also use Fuqingshuang ointment or triamcinolone-A ointment.

⑤ Take anti-allergic drugs, such as chlorpheniramine, cyproheptadine, astemizole, etc.

3. Leucorrhea allergy

When women are sexually excited, their vaginal discharge increases. The vaginal discharge contains many antigenic substances. If the husband has an allergic constitution, it will cause an allergic reaction. The symptoms are similar to those of allergic reactions to condoms and topical contraceptives.

Countermeasures:

If a man is allergic to leucorrhea, he can wear a condom during sexual intercourse or take anti-allergic drugs and undergo desensitization treatment before sexual intercourse.

4. Vaginitis

If a woman suffers from trichomoniasis or candidal vaginitis, the increased stimulation during sexual intercourse may cause itching of the vulva.

Countermeasures:

Go to the hospital as soon as possible to check and find out the cause. If it is caused by vaginal trichomoniasis or fungal infection, just treat the inflammation symptomatically.
