Question : The last two times my husband and I had sex I had horrible cramping afterwards. This most recent time I had cold sweats and felt like I was going to be sick for 10min after in addition to the bad cramping. We are using a new type of condom. Could I be allergic?

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Yes, allergy to material of condom can start an allergic reaction. It could also start propulsive movements. However, it is better to get a PAP smear to rule out infection.
