Latex is a milky fluid that comes from the tropical rubber tree. Hundreds of everyday products contain latex. Repeated exposure to a protein in natural latex can make you more likely to develop a latex allergy. If your immune system detects the protein, a reaction can start in minutes. You could get a rash, asthma and in rare cases shock from latex exposure.
Latex products are all around you. Some common ones are
Gloves
Condoms
Balloons
Rubber bands
Shoe soles
Pacifiers
If you are allergic to latex, it is a good idea to learn which products contain it. That way, you can reduce your exposure. The most common reactions are to gloves and condoms. Latex-free alternatives exist for both.
Description:
I am an average size girl. Im not tiny. Im a size 14. Though I do have a fairly small and tight vagina. The bf I have now is a very large man. penis wise. when he tries to go all inside of me it hurts very bad. why is this? it almost feels like an electrical shock. lol
Description:
So, during sex, I realized whenever he put a condom (trojan ecstasy) on it stung, really really bad. I know I don't have a latex allergy because I wear latex gloves all the time at the health professions career path at my school and condoms have never bothered me before. Also, I get really raw on the area between my thighs and i don't know if it's a rash or what... I know it's not an infection or anything because we're in a committed, monogamist relationship and it clears up in like a day. But... he's REALLY... big, and I'm really small. I'm wondering if I might be tearing myself at all. And it doesn't hurt without a condom but I'm sure as hell not having sex without a condom. So what can I do to stop this burning and what might be causing it? I have an EXTREMELY low pain tolerance and I definitely don't want to give up my sex life haha
Resolved Question: Why don't doctors know what mine and my boyfriends rash is? Please help?
Description:
My boyfriend has had this rash about 6 months, as soon as he got it he went to the doctors and they said it was just dry skin, they gave him a moisturiser but a few weeks later the rash was even worse
We looked online and his rash looked just like ringworm but he has no clear skin in the middle of the rash, just red dry patches
He went to the doctor again and was then told it was pityrasis rosea, which is not contagious so I then let him sleep in my bed again after not letting him for months whilst he had the rash
A week after I got the exact same rash
I went to the doctor and he said one of the patches I had was ringworm but he didn't know what the main rash I have over the rest of all my body
Obviously this rash my boyfriend got told he had couldn't have been pityriasis rosea because that is NOT contagious
We have tried loads of anti fungal creams, moisturisers and other creams given by a handful of doctors
Between us we have seen 7 doctors and been told a different thing each time
I'm so fed up, we are both so itchy and sore!
Any ideas!!!!
Description:
I am 19 and I feel like my sex life is getting ruined because of this discomfort with condoms. Basically, my first sexual partner and I used condoms every time and I don't actually remember feeling a burning feeling. Although now when I have sex with people and they use a condom, it starts hurting/burning and keeps getting worse as the sex goes on. I haven't had any more than 5 sexual partners and have only really done it un protected with 1 of them (this was because the condoms were hurting me). I don't think I could have an STI or surely I would know, and obviously I have been fairly careful. I'm also not on any birth control either. I was thinking maybe it was an allergy to the condoms so I tried rubbing a condom on certain areas of my body to see if it gave me a rash but nothing seemed to happen. I have tried a few different brands of condoms and it is still the same. It isn't because I am too dry because I know every time I am really wet and it slides in easily, but as I said the pain just gets worse and worse after about 10 minutes and it gets to the point where I can't enjoy sex and I just want the guy to stop. Any ideas of what this could be or anyone had this experience?
Resolved Question: What is this pain in my bladder JUST after I pee?
Description:
I'm getting a little worried. I have nothing wrong down there during the day, or while I pee, but JUST after I'm finished, kind of like if I'm pushing but nothing is coming out I get a sort of an aching, stretching horrible feeling round my bladder. I thought maybe it was a UTI, but besides itching sometimes (I put that down to a latex allergy...) I have no other symptoms. No burning, no back ache, no frequency or urgency to pee. It's just all regular and then the second I stop peeing, bam it hits.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this??
Resolved Question: Some help with a personal problem? (yeast infection)?
Description:
I am sexually active with my boyfriend of four years. However, we both live with our parents so we rarely get a chance to have sex. I have noticed that every time we have sex, it hurts me at first. I don't want to get too graphic but every time he "enters" it is painful for the first few seconds and this happens every time we have sex. I've also noticed recently that after sex, it burns when I pee. I'm not entirely sure if this has always been the case (I'm bad at noticing things) but it has definitely been every time lately.
Now onto the yeast infection problem. Occasionally I will get yeast infections and it seems to happen after my boyfriend and I have sex. This doesn't happen after every time we have sex but the yeast infections seem to come after being sexually active. It's not a latex allergy because the most recent time we weren't using a condom (a few days ago) and now I have a yeast infection.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice about any of this. I realize it would be best to go to the doctor but I currently have no health insurance so I thought I'd try this approach first and then go to the doctor if need be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Resolved Question: Allergic reaction to birth control patch?
Description:
My girlfriend started the birth control patch on Wednesday and it was going fine but then on Friday morning she woke up and her feet were really swollen and itchy. They have been like this on and off ever since. She took the patch off and she is taking allergy medicine the swelling and itching go down but only when she takes allergy medicine. What should she do? Is this common?
* she's 17 and her parents don't want her having sex so we went to planned parenthood to get the birth control so she can't go to her parents for help

1 year old has milk allergy. I've been giving him soy milk but as I grocery shop I see almost EVERYTHING contains milk and eggs! Pancakes, oarmeal, cookies, you name it! Help? I don't know what to buy for him. Even cheff boyardees contain milk. So hard for me!
Resolved Question: I think I have an STD or a rash, how can I tell the difference?
Description:
Over Christmas break, I saw my boyfriend and we had sex. I saw him on Thursday the 20 and Friday the 21. Recently since I've gotten home (29) is when my vagina started burning. I thought that it could possible be because I had stubble and wasn't able to take a shower in like 2 days. However, even after I shaved and deeply washed it kept burning. I called and asked my boyfriend if he was a hundred percent sure he was clean and he said he got checked two years ago and I was the first girl he said sex with in four years. I don't know what is wrong but it just burns. All the time. I don't have a funny Snell or anything. Also, I'm almost a hundred percent sure I'm not allergic to the latex. One more thing, I'm 15 and my parents don't know I'm sexually active. What do I do? Please help me.
Description:
For some background information, I am 14 and in shape, and never have had any serious health problems,other than being diagnosed with a food latex allergy. However recently I have had massive headaches on and off and have been feeling bloated and really sick after everything I eat, which results in a black sort of diarreah (sorry) Also I have started to not be able to sleep at night due to the constant shaking of my limbs :( At first I though it was restless leg syndrome but then I thought it might be related to my other problems. Also I have been oddly pale lately, and incredibly tired. But like I said, sleeping just doesn't happen. I don't know if I just have a lot of different problems or what. Any ideas or suggestions would be great!
Resolved Question: what type of bed is good for both genders i thought "rubber "is good{i mean for the health ok"?
Description:
the right to bear arms was meant to protect from a tyrannical government, if the government only allows itself the guns...guess what happens. see germany in the 30s, USSR, China, Cuba, NKorea etc.
@magic, you are absolutely right. the threat of tyranny is very real no matter what the weapons tech. the biggest threat comes from our own government which the founders feared. they feared our government from gaing too much power, so they armed the citizens as last line of defense against this (something libs dont want to admit). this is a relevant now as it was in 1790, maybe even more so as our freedoms have been eroded in the last several decades. the second amendment is the only thing keeping government from breaking down your door, and it barely succeeds in doin that. wake up before it is too late
yes magic, i do think that, and yes magic the 2nd does just that. to think anything else is the delusion. now go back to being a good liberal sheep and stop trying to bring down my IQ.
Resolved Question: Best condoms for pleasure, need opinions? Also, could I be pregnant? And want to know more about birth control?
Description:
Me and my boyfriend have not been using protection for 4 months. We've been using the pull out method. Which I know can't be effective for very long. Condoms seem to irritate my vagina. Like really bad. It stings and feels weird and definitely doesn't feel good! But I also don't want to get pregnant. I am far too young. (19). I've also heard terrible things about birth control and I dont know if I want to take it. I heard it really messes with your hormones, and I already have a bipolar problem and anxiety and pre menstrual syndrome (I get very hormonal during my periods.) so in your experience, what are the best condoms that won't cause stinging or anything like that, that aren't thick and rubbery, are 100% effective, and pleasurable? And what are your takes on birth control pills? What are your experiences with taking them? What would you consider the best BC pill?
My boyfriend pulls out at least a minute before he orgasms and then I finish him off. Then we go for a second time usually because he doesn't last long the first time. The second time, he washes off his penis with soap, cleans out his urethra, and pees. So he makes sure there's no c u m left. So I have a slim chance of being pregnant.. Right?
I know all the things I'm doing. And I know if I have all these worries and problems I shouldn't be having sex anyways. Yes I know, my guilt is eating me alive. I guess I need to learn when to say no.. Blah blah blah. Please don't lecture me. I am here for opinions. I posted this in pregnancy because I think I'd get more answers here.
Please just answer my questions. Thanks.
Resolved Question: What can I buy to unstop my nose?

My nose can be stopped up even if I don't have a cold. It's weird and I think it affects the sound of my voice I'm not sure. Then also I get these headaches in the back of my head. I'm inhaling but it's hard for me to exhale. I refuse to breathe out my mouth... Help
Resolved Question: allergic reaction on hands and scalp?
Description:
I know that as you read the rest of the description, it has nothing to do with health, but what I'm looking for is usually used in that area and I figured people who work with these kind of gloves (doctors, possibly nurses, etc.) would know. I take a ceramics class and my professor requires us to use surgical gloves. The only gloves I can find are the clear loose ones you can get at drug stores, but she said those aren't good. Some of you may already know, but they are the blue ones that are snug aroung the wrists. They can NOT be loose at all. I think next week we're going to need them and I don't want to get on her bad side and think I'm irresponsibe because she may see me as unprepared, etc. (long story, I won't get into it). What kind of stores can I get them that doesn't involve getting on the internet, if possible? I'm really tight on time and I need them before this upcoming Monday (Oct. 1). Thanks!
Sorry, I forgot to mention. I looked at a Rite-Aid in my area, but they were not surgical gloves, just the clear loose ones. They were pricy, so I didn't get them there. I found a box of the clear gloves at Target for less and figured that's all I could find. However, another student got the same kind of gloves I did and told her she couldn't use them. She didn't say the same to me because she didn't notice (she can't make out things at a certain distance, so she assumed I got the right ones; go figure on how she works with clay with her vision). I doubt I'll find them at other pharmacy/drug stores and I don't think I'll be able to see a doctor's office about it. Anywhere else I could find them?
Resolved Question: Medical Professionals/Doctors only, please?
Description:
I'm a 27 year old man. For the last several years I've had recurring itching and aching near the base of my penis. There are no bumps, warts, rashes or discharges...basically, nothing visible. I thought it was some form of jock itch at first but no creams or sprays have worked in relieving it. I've been screened for STDs several times and evidently have a clean bill of health. A doctor gave me a course of flagyl and a z pack, and that knocked it out for about a week, but it returned. The interesting thing about it is that the symptoms are only in one spot on my penis; it has never spread to other areas. Maybe it's harmless but it's driving me crazy. What is it? Please, help.
Resolved Question: When is the best time to avoid getting pregnant in your cycle while on the pill? Please read?
Description:
I am on the pill, but for health reasons my fiance cannot use contraception. When is the best time for us to be able to have sex without me falling pregnant? We would just like to know in advance. I take my pill properly and he will be my first sexual partner.
I am on the pill. It's that he can't use condoms.. and I have been to the doctor with him about it so I can honestly say he is not lying to me.
Sorry maybe I didn't word it clearly. I am on the contraceptive pill and that is fine and I can use it.
Description:
So about a month and a half ago I had sex with my girlfriend for the first time. I am a girl, by the way. Both of us had never had sex with anybody else, man or woman. Since then we've had sex about once a week. A little short of a month ago, we had oral sex, and just as I was finishing her period started. We had oral sex once after that. A week ago I went on vacation to the beach, and once I got there my throat started hurting. I generally get allergies whenever I go on vacation. But then I went out to eat, and I had scallops for the first time. I had what I hoped was just an allergic reaction: diarrhea, and a rash on my face and hand. But then I started to worry. What is the likelihood of me having an STD from oral sex? What STDs could I possibly have, if there's a chance of me having them at all? If we were both virgins, are there even very many STDs either of us could have? Was it a mistake to have oral sex right as she was on her period? Sorry.. I'm just really worried.

What has worked for you? I hate pills and latex gives me allergies. Abstaining is no good. I'm in a monogamous relationship. What has worked for you? Btw, I don't like patches, pills and any other medical procedures associated with birth control. I hate the side effects and complications.

Hello,
I am considering NCSU as my top college choice. I want to major in bioprocessing science but I would like to have a little more information. This is a fairly new major so I prefer someone from NCSU who majors in this or know a lot about the major to answer the questions below and give me any additional helpful information! (p.s.: please DO NOT post links to NCSU's website because I have done plenty of research.

Questions:
1. Does the curriculum involve a lot of math?
2. Are the chemistry courses similar to high school chemistry or are the chemistry classes geared toward the curriculum?
3. What types of internships and opportunities are available?
4. Is the major very interesting as a whole or very hard and challenging?
5. What would you suggest as a minor?
6. What types of math classes?
7. Would I have to take a 2nd language?
8. Any thoughts, opinions, or experiences you would like to share with me that would be helpful?

Resolved Question: Why does my penis gland (head) burns after putting a condom on?
Description:
Hello, I'm 20 years old and I've had sex before and used condoms before. I've used condoms a lot of times and nothing like this has ever happened. I've always used Trojan brand (Fire & Ice, Her pleasure, ecstasy, bare skin, the yellow ribbed ones) and I've never ever experienced this. The last time I tried using the new Trojan Extended Pleasure Climax Control it numbed me (that's what it does) I used it about 4 times and the last time it left a burning sensation and slight pain on the tip of my penis and foreskin (I'm not circumcised). The tip of the foreskin also felt slightly harder, so at first I thought it was just scar tissue making it harden and tighten. I laid of from sex to try and heal from whatever was making me burn. The next time I had sex (no condom) nothing was hurting but when I pulled out and ejaculated, the tip of my penis began to burn. I washed and eventually the burning sensation went away. 30 minutes later me and my girlfriend were gonna go at it again. I decided to do the smart thing and put a condom on (Trojan Fire and Ice). As soon as it was on the penis gland began to burn mild to moderately. I took it off and we didn't have sex but the burning sensation was still there.
What could be causing this? Is it the lubricants? Is it the numbing from the other condoms that messed my head up? Is it some sort of foreskin infection? Is it the foreskin itself just being to tight?
HELP!!! I REALLY LIKE SEX AND THIS IS RUINING IT FOR ME!
Can it really be an allergic reaction? I've used these condoms before plenty of times before and nothing like this has ever happened. It all started after the numbing condoms. I also read something about condoms with spermicide in them. Also, I don't see a cut unless it's micro size cuts.

Description:
I'm 18 and just started having sex in February. First, its always hard to go in. It almost feels like the first time and it hurts for like 30 seconds then it goes away. I don't really feel anything during sex like any type of pleasure or release, but I make noise to make him feel better. After wards I feel discomfort on one of my "lips". This person has not been treating me right emotionally so I decided to end our "relatioship", but I need to know if there is anything wrong with me physically in case I might want to try again sexually some time in the distant future.

Resolved Question: Persistent burning, but no UTI.?
Description:
In April I had my 3rd UTI of the last 10 months. It was treated with antibiotics, however, the pain did not subside. I continue to have persistent burning every time I urinate that lasts for 10-30 minutes afterward.
Also, I have to urinate during the night now, every night, which has never happened before.
I went to a urologist who said I had no UTI during the urinalysis. I also do not have any STDs, as I was recently tested. So what could it be? I'm going crazy!
Description:
My boyfriend and I tried having sex a month ago. At the time I didn't know I had a stress fracture on my hip bone so it ended up being way to painful for me. I honestly don't think he even popped my cherry but we didn't use a condom because I have a latex allergy and it was a case of one thing leading to another. We stopped after a min because we knew it was a bad idea but I'm really nervous about pre cum. The next day I took plan b just as a precaution and the day after I took it I had some brown spotting. My periods now a week and a day late.... Is that normal?
Resolved Question: Uncomfortable/painful symptoms after intercourse with new partner?
Description:
I have been with 1 man for about 3 years. I lost my virginity to him, and he's been the only man I've been with. Up until a few days ago I had a new sexual partner. After we had sex I felt raw down in my vaginal area, because we had been going for about a half an hour, and it began to hurt. It's been 3 days since th initial sex, and my side/back on the left side has been a full pain (kidneys) and I've been a little nauseous with uncomfortable feeling in my lower stomach. I thought it might have been a urinary tract infection but it doesn't burn when I urinate and I'm not having problems urinating. If it also helps I have mirena IUD for birth control and I felt the strings this morning so they are still in place, but not sure if pregnancy is ruled out or not. Thanks for all your help :)
Resolved Question: Is being sore after sex normal? How about bleeding for the second time?
Description:
Hey
So this is a little embarrassing, but I just want to ask a couple of questions about sex
I just recently lost my virginity (I'm 21 and yes I'm a late bloomer) and for me the first time was a weird experience. It hurt a LOT and I also bled a lot and I spotted for 4-5 days. That freaked me out a little bit but at the same time I thought it was normal to bleed like that.
However, after second time having sex, I bled AGAIN but not like the first time. The second time was more like spots and it lasted for 1 day or two. Is this because my vagina isn't used to being stretched? Or is this another problem?
Also, after second time (which was a little more painful than the first time) I felt really sore...or should I say raw (and yes we used plenty of lube). After that I felt a little uncomfortable sitting down. The next day I felt a little bit of itching as well. This REALLY freaked me out. I'm going to see a doctor tomorrow but I just thought I'd give this a try before seeing my doctor. I guess I just want to be reassured that this stuff is normal and hopefully sex isn't going to be a painful experience :(

I went to the doctor and got tested for every STD and also aids. Everything came back normal but we got back together a couple weeks ago. It's been awhile since I have had sex so when we decided to, it felt like my vagina was split in half, I couldn't walk so when I decided to take a warm bath the water stung my vagina and when I peed that also stung. The next day I was fine but a few days later I brought sum new soap and later that night the stinging came back and it is very difficult for me to pee it Burns really bad. My mother told me as a little girl I always was back and forth from the doctor because I was putting to much soap in that area and it was really hard for me to pee. My graduation is tomorrow and I can't celebrate because it hurts really bad. I can't go to the doctor until monday and wanted to know is it anything I can do to stop this. My pee has become very smelly and yellow and I do not drink water. If i have contracted any type of STD I'm leaving his ass. Any suggestions please?

Here's a little bit of background info: We're both 17. He's the only guy I've ever been with and I'm the only girl he's ever been with. We've been together for 2 and a half years and faithful.

Resolved Question: Why has it been painful for me to have sex recently? Its making me feel insecure.?
Description:
I have been having sex with the same person over the last 7 years and our sexual interactions have always been at a more intense level, I tend to enjoy the roughness. However, we were unable to enjoy sex as usual earlier this week since I began experiencing a stinging and penetrating pain in my pelvic area on my right side that seemed to travel across my back during his, normally, well-received deep thrusting. This just started out of the blue.....I'm STD free with no gynecological issues to my knowledge. Could this pain be caused as an early indicator of my monthly cycle starting? During the day I am fine and can run, jump and play around, but I only begin to experience the pain once intercourse ensued. Any ideas about what could be the cause of this random, unexpected internal pelvic pain? Really want to know, this is damaging my sexual self-confidence right now, since I am not being able to live up to my previous performances over the years.

So I had sex last night for the first time.. Well my cherry or "Hyrem" was broken.. So I had sex 12 hours ago, and now when I go to urinate it hurts to, and there is still blood coming out.. Why is this?! What can I do to stop it, and the pain! Please help me. Im sure I was torn inside, so is that why im in pain?
Description:
I've been with this guy for the past month or two and we have sex once or twice a week, give or take. Originally we used Trojan and there were no issues but he wanted to start using Durex because of the smell so we got the pleasure pack. We used them about two or three times with no problems other than maybe some dryness up until my period. At the end of my period I got what I'm assuming was a yeast infection, there was a ton of itching but that was the only sign and my pH was fine. I grabbed some monistat. Three days later my symptoms appeared to be gone so we had sex again. At the end of intercourse however, I was swollen really bad. It actually made me a little nervous I was so puffy. I took a bath and went to bed and by the time I woke up the swelling was gone but I was still really tender. I'm just really confused as of why this is happening. Could the problem be that the yeast infection isn't really gone? Or maybe it isn't a yeast infection at all and perhaps worse? Or could it be some sort of reaction to the fruit scented Durex?

Resolved Question: Is there any birth control method that wont make me so moody?
Description:
Ive been on diane 35 and then on the lightest one there is on the market in my country and both get me sooo b*tchy im always in a bad mood and snapping at everyone. Now that i stopped taking them for a while i look back and i cant believe how i was acting! I would also start crying for everything and that really p*ssed me off because i couldnt control it. Is there any other birth control method that won't leave me feeling like this? I have hormonal imbalances and pcos and the pill does great for me but the side effects are so not worth it!!
Resolved Question: Is this pain just from deep sex last night?
Description:
I am not a virgin and I had sex last night in the doggie style position with my head down. This position usually does hurt a little during because it's deep but it's bearable. Well a couple hours after sex I started getting really bad pain in my ovary/uterus area. Almost like period cramps but a little different. It still hurts today and it almost feels like the area around my uterus is sore? and it's sort of making my stomach and lower back hurt too. I started birth control a month ago and am on my third pill of the second pack.. is this pain just from deep sex or birth control or what?
Resolved Question: Help! What is this super uncomfortable itchy infection!?
Description:
Alright, so I've learned over the years that I'm really, really prone to infection down there, yeast, UTI, anything. I have to be super careful about the types of underwear I use, the laundry detergent, so on and so forth. My doctor and I are both aware, and I thought that was the end of that.
However. Recently, in the past week, I've developed swelling, and then there is some (not a lot) of discharge in my underwear. I just thought perhaps it was another yeast infection, and I scheduled a doctors appointment for after the Holiday weekend. However, over the past few days, there are bumps further back in my vagina, that are incredibly itchy, and uncomfortable. There are just small, nothing too alarming, except for the itch!? At first, it was only itchy further back in my vagina. But now, it seems to be spreading to all of it.
I'm sexually active, but my partner and I were both virgins when we began, and we have always used a condom. We have never had unprotected, so it's practically impossible for it to be an STD, plus I have been checked, so we can rule that one out.
Why could I have this odd, and awful reaction? The bumps would be similar to pimples, except not.. there are INCREDIBLY itchy! There is also discharge, but not a whole lot of it.
Can someone help me? Could this be the result of an allergy to latex? Could this be a further infection? What can I do to relieve the itch!? Thank you.
