Allergic phenomena, I should think. It would be interesting to do an experiment such as, in the office, inserting a syringe of either his semen or some placebo you make up, and see if she reacts consistent with her description. If not, it could be a psychosomatic reaction, perhaps triggered by some sort of real reaction early in their relationship, now perpetuated by a self-fulfilling prophecy. If she does react when not knowing what was injected, then try pre-treating her with, e.g., prednisone or an antihistamine before intercourse a few times and see if that fixes it. Or give him a prostatectomy so that he has retrograde ejaculation. Yeah, that's the ticket!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
