Severe burning and pain after condom use is commonly due to latex allergy or contact irritation, especially if symptoms occur immediately after use. It can also be worsened by friction, dryness, or sensitivity to lubricants or spermicides present on the condom.
Next Steps
Avoid latex condoms and switch to non-latex options such as polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms. If symptoms persist despite avoiding latex, consult a doctor for examination and possible allergy testing.
Health Tips
Do not continue using latex condoms as reactions can worsen over time. Use adequate lubrication, avoid fragranced or spermicidal products, and seek urgent care if you develop swelling, breathing difficulty, or generalized itching.
