While there are many allergists in the Cincinnati area to choose from, the physicians at the Bernstein Allergy Group have distinguished themselves as being leaders in the field of Allergy & Immunology. Founded in 1956, the Bernstein Allergy Group is one of the oldest and most well respected allergy clinics in the area. With hundreds of publications to their credit, the Bernsteins are nationally and internationally recognized as influential clinical educators and researchers. Our physicians are actively involved in both clinical and basic science research and are committed to education, training medical students, residents, and fellows so that the next generation of physicians are ready to serve the Cincinnati area. We think you’ll agree, their experience speaks for itself:

A few of their accolades: US News & World Report Top Doctors (U.S. News & World Report), Top Doctors in Cincinnati (Cincinnati Magazine), Best Doctors in America (Cincy Magazine), Board of Directors of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, Directors of clinical Research at University of Cincinnati Immunology Research Center.

Questions & Answers

Semen Desensitization at Home

I have sperm allergy and I've been suffering for years. When my fiancé and I don't have sex for a few days, my reaction to his semen is incredibly painful. With each following sexual interaction, the pain is less but the immunity goes away if we wait too long. I have been tested for all STDs and my GYN has ruled that I do have sperm allergy. I'm wondering if it's possible to freeze his sperm to insert daily like a medication to maintain desensitization.

Anonymous Patient

Allergic reactions to human seminal plasma (HSP) or male semen may present with either localized-vaginal reactions, systemic-allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis), or both. While HSP allergy is rare, it may be underreported because of the socially-sensitive nature of the problem or misdiagnosed as vulvovaginitis. This disorder occurs exclusively in women, most typically between the ages of 20 and 30 years of age. Signs and symptoms begin shortly after ejaculation, typically during or immediately following the completion of intercourse.

If you believe you are suffering from allergic reactions to seminal plasma, then you might want to consider contacting my office (Bernstein Allergy Group in Cincinnati, Ohio). After a throughout clinical history and investigation into other possible causes including latex allergy, the diagnosis of HSP sensitivity will be made using skin prick tests to whole seminal plasma or allergen-containing fractions of HSP in our office. While most symptoms can be prevented by the use of condoms, for women who find condom use unacceptable or wish to conceive naturally, we suggest HSP desensitization using either intra-vaginal or subcutaneous protocols.

The physicians at our group pioneered this approach and have helped hundreds of women across the country suffering from this debilitating condition. If you think seminal plasma desensitization is something you might be interested in pursuing, please give our office a call to set up a consultation and find out if you might be a candidate.
