Burning after he ejaculates

I am recently married and we have recently stopped using BC. I have notice after he ejaculates I get a burning feeling in my vagina. It only lasts for about 15 minutes, but still not pleasant 😐. I have no signs of infection, (discharge, itchiness) and the sex itself does not hurt. It burns only after we have sex. I thought maybe we were not using enough lube and have increased that but it has not helped. I have heard you can be allergic to semen but that is supposed to be rare. Any help or similar experiences?

I would go to your doctor. Has this only been since you stopped using any form of BC? Did you previously use condoms?

Could be allergic to his sperm it’s more common than you think. My friend is and has to use condoms except when trying to conceive. Their PH balances just don’t mix

I had this happen for a bit. I was never able to find out what really was wrong or why it burned ( went to doc for it no answers) but just by paying attention I noticed it happened when I’d be just off my period so I figured it could be from irritation of my lining from a tampon and then the semen in there. Also noticed that it was when he had been drinking a lot. It hasn’t really happened for years now tho...
