Condom Latex Allergy

Use condoms for safe sex, this is the buzz we hear every now and then but do we authentically know either the condom we use is safe or not. Small amounts of Potent Carcinogen (a cancerous substance) are released whenever condoms are used. We have dinky or no idea if this may be serious moreover; it is not a salutary institution to expose the reproductive organs to such cancer causing substances regularly. Itching sensation in the organs, skin infection, blotches, pain in the genital (due to dryness of condom) is some of the frequent complaint population have while its usage. There are quite a large numbers of population who are allergic to condom latex. If you are fortunate enough, the mild allergic reactions can be treated at home while in some cases it may be severe and life-threatening.

Transmission

Risk factor with condoms
The ability operate guarnatee i.e. The condom is likely to break or leak does not primarily ensure that the condom is free from harmful substances and chemicals. As a matter of fact, no one knows what risks one may face due to prolong use of condoms. It has only been in the last few years, the condom use has increased due to the fear of sexually transmitted diseases. Talc is a substance used in the produce of latex goods which acts as a lubricant as well as release the goods from the mold used at the time of manufacturing. However, talc as a lubricating substance is harmful for the body tissues. The quarterly use of such condom with talc as a lubricating agent blocks the fallopian tube in turn. Although some condom manufacturers still use talc as a dry lubricant, others use dry lubricants such as silicone and cornstarch.

Dermatitis (skin allergy) in both men and women is increasingly growing problem due to use of latex condom. Nonetheless, in case of men dermatitis is rather easy to detect and diagnose but somehow in women the medicine can be more difficult. Some of the side effects of latex condoms in women are increased vaginal discharge, a burning sensation in the vagina, and itching in the vulva. Also the indication of illness is not authentically detectable by any laboratory investigations.

Other harmful side effects of Condoms

• A few men lose their erection after putting on a condom.
• There is no direct palpate in the middle of the penis and the vagina.
• The woman may miss the satisfaction of warm fluid entering her body (important to some women, not to others).
• Friction caused due to condom may reduce clitoral stimulation and loss of lubrication while intercourse may lessen the satisfaction and makes it uncomfortable.
• Intercourse may be less pleasing since the man must withdraw his penis immediately after ejaculation.

Prevention
Condoms are available in separate sizes, range of textures and are ordinarily supplied with a lubricant coating to facilitate good penetration and also contribute good stimulation to the partner. Apart from harmful latex there are other material used to make condom like natural rubber, polyurethane, and lambskin. Polyurethane condoms are odorless and are favorite by those who are allergic to latex and those who have a special inclination for oral sex. There are a few non rubber and non latex condoms available in the market.

Non rubber condoms such as Fourex Natural Lamb Skins (Schmidt, Sarasota, Florida) and Trojan Natural Lamb Skins are made of processed sheep intestine (caecum) are thought about safe. However, they may contain a few lubricants that contain perfume, preservative (Bronopol) and propylene glycol, which may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. These non rubber condoms can forestall transmission of sperm, but the Fda has ruled that they may be ineffective in preventing transmission of Hiv.

It is commonly advisable to consult a curative devotee or a doctor before using any of the contraceptive methods available in the market.
