A member asked:

Cramps after ejaculation--sign of sperm allergy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: The semen contains prostaglandins which cause contractions of the uterus perceived as cramps. This is likely what's happening. Allergy to sperm is extremely rare and you would have worse symptoms such as pain, swelling, redness, etc....
