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 :)
