Latex Allergy?!?!

Latex Allergy?!?!

This question is a little embarrassing to ask but when using normal condoms i seem to go tight and itch for days after and get lower stomach cramps for about 5 days. does this mean i could be allergic to latex what should i expect for the allergy test for it to confirm it?

Hi
Welcome to the forum!
Yes, it is possible for it to be latex allergy. This can cause itch, tightness, redness and pain. However you can try and see which company’s condoms suit you best. Not all condoms will cause allergy. An allergy text can detect the cause for allergy and can also detect latex allergy.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

not to sound rude but i find it weird.. i am severly allergy to latex and yet condoms are the one thing that doesnt irritate me and cause me to break out. but i have noticed it not just that area that isnt affected cuz at my last pap smear the doctor used latex gloevs and it caused me to break out with in minutes of putting my pants back on. and i couldnt sit down for a week afterwards. it didnt cause me to get stomach cramps. but it did cause tightness and itched like mad.
