i have read a couple of the questions in regards to this topic and it is interesting to read some responses, but i get swollen as well. It only happens to me when i am on an antibiotic. but i learned about 4 years ago that i am allergic to semen and now i wonder is it semen, latex condoms, antibiotics or what. i went to the er last time because i was so swollen i could not walk and the itching and burning was intense. if there are any people truly educated on this or who have had this problem and actually been diagnosed please let me know, because i feel as though i get the run around from doctors at time who write it off as yeast.
