I was watching one of the Science Health programs not long ago and they did a story about a woman who is allergic to her husbands Semen. She found this out on her honeymoon. Apparently after she had unprotected intercourse with him, she ended up with a horrible burning and itching in her lady parts. She ended up going to her doctor to find out what was wrong with her. The doctor told her that her body was attacking her husbands fluids like it was a virus and was killing all of the sperm cells making it impossible for her to get pregnant. Because of her religion she can not do invitro.

My questions are have you ever heard of this before? Have you ever had it happen to you? and if so how did you handle it?

I have heard of this, as well as men being allergic to their female partner's secretions.

I've never had this happen before, but when I was on the pill my hubby was allergic to my vaginal secretions and I had to switch to the shot. We thought he was allergic to mine in general, but realized that it only started after I decided to use a more permanent birth control method

I watched a show on Discovery Health the other day where a guy had bad reactions after he orgasmed and I heard him mention something about a disorder where men (and I see women) can be allergic to their own =/ I was multi-tasking but I'm pretty sure I heard it right.

That is really interesting. I wonder if my issues could be from the HRT I'm on.

Could it be from a change in the PH balance? Men who came home after the Gulf War (Gulf War Syndrome) had similar problems. Their semen would burn there wives and cause serious problems with their lady parts. Children were born with birth defects as well. The show I watched the woman had to have special allergy medication to help her. My daughter and I watched a program on the Science channel that covered sex and human reproduction (what happened between conception and birth) and it said how womens bodies attack semen so only the strong survive. My daughter made a crack about how there is so many stupid people out there that what is this world coming to. She was upset about the fact the show said only strong sperm survived and how can that be when criminals and idiots run around procreating. What are your thoughts?

Yup. I've heard of it. I have heard that, at least, it's rare.

Has no one else heard of this issue happening or experienced it themselves?

I've heard of it. I think it's more common than one would think. I guess it just has to do with body chemistries; most people aren't allergic to ALL people's semen/excretions, just a certain person's. I've also heard of people being allergic to their own but I believe that is less common.

I've heard of it but I don't know anyone whose been through it. Interestingly after blowing my bf I always have to sneeze so I joke that I'm allergic to him but it's nothing close to the real thing which is painful and serious

I think it has to do with chemistry too. I never itched after sex before and my husband and I have been together for almost 15 years all together with no problem till recently.

No, semen allergy is usually a reaction to the proteins in a certain man's semen.

Actually in vitro is possible. They take the semen and centrifuge out all the serum and semen, down to pure sperm. This eliminates most of the proteins and conception can take place, at least in vitro (meaning "in glass.") They can also take individual sperm and inject them into the egg, although this process, as the egg itself doesn't "choose" the sperm, can result in more health issues with the baby.

At one point I may have had a mild allergy to my husband's semen. It also could have been a spermicide allergy. We have used withdrawal for years and I never had a reaction anywhere other than vaginally, so it was either a short time allergy or due to the spermicide.
