What Causes Vaginal Pain And Burning Sensation During Intercourse?

This is a gynecological question. Preexisting condition: Whenever my husband and I have sex, I experience pain around the opening of my vagina. We have found ways to combat this, with the help of my regular gynecologist. Recently, my husband and I began trying to conceive. Whenever he ejaculates, I experience a burning sensation. After reading up on similar cases, it appears that I may have an allergy to his sperm. I don t want to jump to any conclusions. Additional details: I have a gluten allergy. We thought this may have something to do with it, but my husband doesn t eat much gluten. These are my questions: 1. How can I tell if I have this allergy? 2. Are there any other possibilities of what the problem might be? 3. Is there a cure? 4. Will we still be able to conceive?
