Seminal fluid allergy is a possible diagnosis in front vulvovaginal inflammations occurring rapidly after coitus. The type I reaction (revealed by the immediate hypersensitivity Prick-test) is most frequently encountered. In case of systemic symptoms, the circulating Ig E specific antibodies can be increased. Treatment is palliative (condoms, antihistamines cream). In case of systemic disease, desensibilisation can be proposed. This infrequent but uncomfortable syndrome is also in question in some cases of immunologic infertility.
