Sexual Intercourse as a Trigger of Inducible Urticaria

Aerobic exercises can precipitate inducible urticarias. Cholinergic urticaria and exercise-induced anaphylaxis are good examples of these triggers1-2. The same can happen in patients with delayed pressure urticaria when areas of the body are compressed during exercises3. To our knowledge, sexual intercourse has not been documented for triggering inducible urticarias. We are presenting two cases of inducible urticaria precipitated by sexual intercourse: exercise-induced anaphylaxis and delayed pressure urticaria.
