Is the itching below a condom allergy?

Patient's question:

I've been feeling itchy down there recently, but I've always been very concerned about physical health. I'm a bit suspicious that it might be due to using condoms during sex with my boyfriend. I'd like to ask the doctor if the itching could be a result of a condom allergy?

Doctor's answer:

If a woman experiences vaginal itching again, the most common reason is likely a recurrence of an infectious inflammation of the reproductive system, such as vaginitis. In cases where the body is healthy and no inflammation has recurred, if itching in the vaginal area occurs after using a condom, it may indicate a possible allergic reaction to the condom. Immediate examination and treatment are necessary.
