Why does my husband's penis itch (externally) after sex?!
Question: Why does my husband's penis itch (externally) after sex?
He told me that this problem did not start until after we had gotten married. Granted, we didn't have a LOT of sex before we got married, but we did have sex. And neither one of us has been with anyone else for at least 3 years. I know this for a fact.
I don't know what could be the problem. Is it possible that this might have something to do with the PH level inside my vagina? Could it be related to my cycle at all? Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for any and all help!
Answers:
He might be slightly allergic to you. Not very romantic, I know, but there are cases of women who develop an allergy to their partner's semen, so I imagine it can go both ways. It will probably help a lot if he simply washes his penis with cool water after intercourse. Also, try positions where your (and his) pubic hair can't rub and chafe the penile shaft at all during intercourse.
You're right, sounds like your pH level might be high. Unless there is something that can be done medically, I'd say keep up the washing and/or have him take a benadryl before or after sex. If all else fails, switch to anal. Just saying.
Do you use a condom? He could have developed an allergic reaction to latex.
Otherwise, I think you should talk to a family physician for an professional opinion and then go from there.
Hw needs to use more lube.
There could be a 'wild hair' somewhere - either yours or his that is irritating 'Junior'.
Your yeast is getting to him
I'm not sure of your sexual well-being right now. But many women have urinary tract infections and don't even know it. Also, and I know you said you got rid of your yeast infection (at the time), but perhaps you have a minor yeast infection now, but it isn't causing You noticeable problems. I would honestly go and get yourself checked at an obgyn..
Another idea to check, if you use a different body wash than him when you shower, it could, though not common, sometimes can cause his sensitive areas to be, well, rashy/itchy. Perhaps he is sensitive to a soap that you are not?
With this idea, if you put any soap/whatever thing down there that is scented in any way, with any sort of fragrance in it, try not using it and see how things go. And if for some reason you wash your underwear with a different soap than his, try using his for a while.
Sorry that I couldn't be more help! Good luck. I know this whole dilemma has got to be stressful!
