What should women do if they are allergic to condoms?

In life, many people think that using condoms is the safest method of contraception, but some female friends feel that there is one thing they don’t understand.

Condoms are a non-drug form of preventing conception, mainly used to prevent human sperm and eggs from combining during sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy. In addition, condoms also prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea and AIDS (HIV), so they are also called condoms. Today's condoms are usually made of natural rubber or polyurethane.

Condoms are mainly made of natural latex. Some people may have allergic reactions after using them. Women may experience itching and burning sensations in the vulva and vagina, congestion and edema of the vaginal mucosa, and increased leucorrhea. The following measures need to be taken:
