The uncomfortable itching feeling in the vaginal area that women sometimes experience can be caused by a type of yeast called Candida albicans. Yeast infections are quite common and easily treated, with most women experiencing it at least once.
However, yeast infections aren’t the only reason why a woman may experience itching, redness, and swelling in her vaginal area. A sperm allergy can also cause the same symptoms. Continue reading to learn more about yeast infections, sperm allergy, and how they can be treated.
Yeast Infections
There’s yeast growing in the vaginal area, and that’s normal. It only becomes a problem when the yeast grows out of control and causes an infection. Even a simple change in vaginal chemistry, such as pH levels, can trigger a yeast infection.
Hormonal level changes that typically occur during a menstrual cycle can also cause a change in the vaginal environment and cause the vaginal yeast to grow too much. Other factors that can also trigger a vaginal yeast infection include pregnancy, a weak immune system, and certain medications like antibiotics.
It’s also possible for yeast infections to be caused by sexual contact. However, this is different from STDs. Instead, it’s a natural reaction to the genital chemistry of another person. Everyone has some form of genital yeast and bacteria. If your body chemistry doesn’t react well with the genital chemistry of your partner, that can also trigger a yeast infection.
How Is Sperm Allergy Different from Yeast Infections?
Sperm allergy is something that’s totally different from yeast infections. For one, it’s caused by the proteins contained in the semen, not by yeast, bacteria, or any other microorganism.
In addition, the symptoms of sperm allergy only show up whenever there is physical contact with semen, such as when a man ejaculates inside the vagina. However, if the man uses a condom, and there’s no contact with his semen and the partner’s vagina, mouth, or other body parts, then symptoms of sperm allergy won’t show.
The symptoms of yeast infections are typically localized in the vaginal area, or in the mouth if it’s a case of oral thrush. On the one hand, the symptoms of sperm allergy may either be localized, or it may affect the entire body if it’s a systemic allergic reaction.
Just like with any other allergies, a systemic allergic reaction to semen may cause anaphylaxis, which can prevent you from breathing if it causes your throat or tongue to become swollen.
Other symptoms of anaphylaxis include shortness of breath or wheezing, dizziness, nausea, and low blood pressure. An epinephrine auto-injector can help reduce these symptoms so that they’re no longer life-threatening.
In contrast, yeast infections are seldom life-threatening. Other symptoms of yeast infections that are different from that of sperm allergy include pain during sex, a burning sensation when urinating, and vaginal discharge. The vaginal discharge is usually white, thick, and clumpy.
How Are Yeast Infections Treated?
Yeast infections may be treated using oral medications, creams, and suppositories. Oral medication for yeast infections can easily cure the infection with just one pill. However, it requires a prescription. On the other hand, many anti-fungal creams and suppositories for the treatment of yeast infections are available over the counter.
It’s best not to engage in either vaginal or oral sex until after the infection has been completely treated. Friction during sex can actually worsen the irritation, and sores or fissures may form in the vulva or the vaginal area if the infection becomes severe.
How Is Sperm Allergy Treated?
Unlike with yeast infections, you can continue engaging in sex even if your partner is allergic to your semen. Simply by using a condom during sex, you can easily prevent sperm allergy symptoms from flaring up.
In fact, the easiest way to determine if the symptoms are caused by sperm allergy or not is to compare if the symptoms appear when you have protected sex and when you don’t use a condom.
If a woman shows severe allergic reaction to semen and the symptoms are systemic, an EpiPen can help prevent anaphylaxis and lessen the severity of the symptoms. If the allergy is only mild, over-the-counter oral antihistamines may be enough to treat the allergy.
A procedure called intravaginal desensitization can help build a tolerance for semen. However, this procedure is usually time-consuming and requires the supervision of an allergist, immunologist, or a doctor.
With intravaginal desensitization, a diluted sample of semen is placed inside the vagina. At regular intervals of around 30 minutes, a less diluted semen sample is applied until there’s no more allergic reaction to the undiluted semen.
This treatment option is recommended if the partners are trying to conceive. Building a tolerance for pure and undiluted semen makes it possible for the couple to engage in unprotected sex later on.
In fact, once the woman has already built a tolerance for her partner’s semen, the couple will need to have sex frequently so as to maintain the woman’s tolerance for semen. This is quite helpful, especially if the couple wants to get pregnant.
Building Your Sexual Stamina
Frequent sex is good news if you’re trying to impregnate your partner. However, if you don’t have the sexual stamina for it, then sex may become less enjoyable and it may feel as if you’re just engaging in sex with your partner simply because your doctor told you to do so.
