Can Vaginal Itching Be Due To Latex Allergy?

I am experiencing vaginal swelling after intercourse when my partner is wearing a condom could I be allergic to Latex? I have also heard that this can be a sign of Cervical cancer? I did have an irregular pap smear and thin prep colposcopy several years ago with continued pap smears every year to ensure no further issues

absolutely, there is an entity called latex allergy and you have rightly suspected. you also need to see if you can get rashes on your hands if had worn a latex gloves also.

surprisingly there also a content of suffering called semen allergy!!

what all you need to be is, be observative next time, while contact with rubber products. and still have same complaints better to avoid them as avoidance is most safe and first step way out of allergies.

and with your pap smear issue. i strongly recommend to seek a gynecological opinion at the earliest as this is an entity to be ruled out at the earliest.
