HELP! I THINK I'M ALLERGIC TO MY HUSBAND

[KDG]

I have a problem.  My husband and I are trying to get pregnant.  We're both healthy however, when I allow him to ejaculate inside me, I end up with a foul odor a few days later.  Is this normal?  or am I allergic to my husband?

Is your husband circumcised? There could be bacteria hiding in the folds of his forskin that you are having a reaction to.

Hi Kdg, Is this odor fishy? I heard that if you have a strong fishy odor after intercourse you could have a type of Vaginitis..Something to check out anyway. asil

Are you sure that you and your husband are not passing an infection of some sort back and forth. It could be something like yeast which can cause odor.

yes, douchimg is not reccomended. it can fluch bacteria up and cause problems. i have heard of woman being "allergic to fluids" or latex (condems). not necessarily the hubby himself.

Hi Do you clease your well after intercourse?All so some times the mans semen might have a real strong scent depending on what he has eaten,like onions,garlic,peppers,etc.Any thing that is spicy or has a strong scent.It digests and then goes into his sperm cells.Have him try sweet fruits like pineapples,apples,pears,or other fruit that he likes.That might help.Tell him to stay away from the spicy foods for a while.Try that and see if that helps.TNT406.
