Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions regarding intimate allergies:

1. Do my symptoms suggest an intimate allergy?
   
   
2. What substances may be causing me to have this reaction?
   
   
3. What tests will you use to determine the cause of my symptoms?
   
   
4. Does my intimate allergy pose a danger to my overall health?
   
   
5. What are my treatment options?
   
   
6. I am allergic to latex condoms. Are there other types of condoms I can use without causing a reaction?
   
   
7. Does having an allergy to one brand of lubricant mean that I am allergic to all brands?
   
   
8. Am I a candidate for hyposensitization?
   
   
9. Are there ways to lessen the likelihood of a reaction to semen while I am trying to become pregnant?
