Summary:
- Semen allergy, also known as seminal plasma hypersensitivity, is a real medical condition where a person's immune system overreacts to the proteins in semen.
- Symptoms of a semen allergy can include redness, itching, swelling, and even anaphylaxis after sexual contact. It is often misdiagnosed as a yeast infection or other condition.
- Semen allergies can be managed through avoidance, condom use, or desensitization therapy, where small amounts of semen are gradually introduced to build up tolerance. Seeking medical help is important for proper diagnosis and treatment.
