Allergy to Vaginal Contraceptives From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net) Fri, 5 Nov 1999 08:01:37 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Christine: "Re: ABO incompatablility-for Christine Smith" Previous message: Christine: "Re: ABO incompatability for JClark" Next in thread: Harvey S. Marchbein, M.D.: "Re: Allergy to Vaginal Contraceptives" Reply: Harvey S. Marchbein, M.D.: "Re: Allergy to Vaginal Contraceptives" For years, I used diaphrams, and could never completely get rid of the secretions created by the spermicide (often nonoxynol-9). My gynecologist diagnosed the problem as allergy to the rubber of the diaphram, and I stopped using it. About three weeks ago, however, I inserted a Koromex contraceptive suppository (with nonoxynol-9), and got the same unpleasant symptoms of excessive, foul secretions. I douched with Massengil medicated douches, which eliminated the odor, but not the secretions. It seems I am allergic to nonoxynol-9, so what are my alternatives? Would sponges give the same problem? I refuse to take the pill. Also, should I have my gynecologist thoroughly clean my vagina? Thank you. -- Wolf Next message: Christine: "Re: ABO incompatablility-for Christine Smith" Previous message: Christine: "Re: ABO incompatability for JClark" Next in thread: Harvey S.
