My boyfriend & I have been having sex
for the past 6 months. In the beginning
everything was perfectly fine, but a
couple months ago I started experiencing
pain, redness and burning. During sex,
everything is fine but afterwards these
things occur. And this only happens if
we have intercourse. Since i'm on birth
control, we do not regularly use condoms.
But, when we do, I don't experience these
problems. Also, we used ky jelly (i
think this brand or astroglide?) and we
think it started happening sometime after
this. Could it have caused a problem?
I looked up semen allergies online and
these are some of the symptoms of it, but
I really have no idea. Could it be a
yeast or bladder infection or even an std?
My boyfriend & I have talked about
this and really don't think it could be an
std. I have only been with one other
person & have been tested at my gyno
visits. (the same with my boyfriend now-
hes only had 2 other partners who were
checked) however, this past partner
cheated on me, although i'm not sure if he
had intercorse with someone else. But,
if it was and std wouldn't I experience
these problems in the beginning with my
partner now and my doctor would have found
it, right? (sorry if this isn't enough
info) please help!!

Well it could be a uti...But I think you
and your boyfriend need to both go and get
checked because if he cheated then there
could be a possible chance it is an
std...But other than that it could just be
something simple...I would def see a
doctor though...Because im sure the
burnings uncomfortable!!

Many times the general std screenings they
do are not comprehensive. They only
screen for a few out of the hundreds of
std's that are out there. Honestly, it
doesn't sound like you have the classic
symptoms of a bladder infection, but
that's something that you should
definatley get checked out by a doctor.
A bladder infection can take a couple of
days to show itself, and it most certainly
does not occur immediately after sex (i
should know, i'm one of those lucky girls
who is prone to uti's after sex).
Anyways, please go see your gyno and ask
to have a more comprehensive std test.
Given your symptoms, your doctor can do a
variety of tests for different std's that
could be the culprit.
It could be an uti, but given the symptoms
and time of onset, I would say probably
not. But then again i'm not a medical
doctor :)
