Symptoms of girls' allergy to condoms

Condom allergy is mainly latex allergy, because most of the condoms sold on the market are latex products. If there is latex-specific IgE in the body, allergic symptoms may occur after contact with latex. Condom allergy mainly occurs after the use of latex condoms, and is manifested by allergic symptoms such as redness and itching of the sexual organs. Condom allergies can occur in both women and men.

So, how do you judge whether you are allergic to condoms? In addition to observing whether you have any discomfort symptoms after using condoms, you can also recall whether you have ever been allergic to latex or rubber and plastic products in your daily life, such as common rubber gloves and latex bottle caps, and whether you have redness or itching symptoms after touching them. In addition, some foods such as chestnuts, kiwis, bananas, tomatoes, etc. can cause cross-reactions with latex during the growth process. If you have been allergic to these foods, be careful about the possibility of allergies to condoms.

In addition to causing discomfort in the genitals, condom allergy can also cause genital inflammation. Therefore, if you find that the condom is allergic, you should stop using condoms, see a doctor as soon as possible, and choose other contraceptive methods.

Condom allergy symptoms

The symptoms of condom allergy are similar to those of other allergies, except that the location of occurrence is different, and there are also some differences in the symptoms of allergies between women and men.

Symptoms of female condom allergy: Women may experience excessive vaginal discharge in their daily lives. When the allergy is severe, the private parts and vagina may cause severe itching and burning sensation, and may also experience vaginal mucosal hematoma, edema, pain during sexual intercourse and other abnormal symptoms.

Symptoms of male condom allergy: Men may experience allergic symptoms such as redness, itching, and tingling on the head of the genitals after using condoms. If not treated promptly or the effect is not good, it may develop into serious manifestations of genital ulceration, erosion, and exudation.

How to prevent condom allergy

In fact, there are not many people who are allergic to condoms in daily life. If you know that you are allergic to latex, rubber, etc., you should try to reduce the use of condoms and choose other contraceptive methods. To prevent condom allergy, you can refer to the following methods:

1. In order to avoid condom allergy, both women and men must pay attention to purchasing condoms produced by reliable stores and use them within the validity period.
