Thank you for the question and I am happy to help.
A semen allergy is incredibly unusual. I would not assume that this was the cause of your symptoms without ruling out other causes. If there was a concern about a semen sensitivity, then try condoms for a while and see if that helps.
More likely explanations include common vaginal infections such as yeast (associated with a discharge and itching) or bacterial vaginosis = BV which is associated with a discharge and burning or itching. BV is often more noticeable after unprotected intercourse.
Regardless, it sounds like you should get checked out by a doctor and have cultures of the vagina obtained.
I hope that this helps and good luck to you!
