Question 1

my bf penis smells like fish now i do what could this be ?

Accepted Answer

Suspicious: ...For trichomonas, particularly if you have frothy d/c. Other std/sti can do this as well, so best to get checked by your dr / urgent care / std clinic, who can do testing and prescribe treatment. Remember not all std have symptoms early / are curable and "pregnancy happens." consider condom use for safety.

Question 2

my boyfriends penis smells all the time even if he showers. after we have sex i smell like him. even up to a week after i still smell. i can smell it all the time even through my pants. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Smell: Ask him to be assessed to see if he has an infection that may be causing the odour. Or is he applying anything to his penis? All the best sorting it out. You may want to go with him. Condoms are a solution and keep you safe.

Question 6

my penis smells fishy. i clean it regularly, there's no rash or discoloring of urine/semen, it smells this way all the time for weeks, help?

Accepted Answer

Fishy: A fishy smell may originate from where you are putting that thing in the first place. Your sex partner may need a checkup. Try a condom for a while and see if that doesn't clear up your problem.

Question 7

If foreskin intact: possibly a bacterial infection, could explain the odor. Likely need testing with your doctor to be sure of best treatment.

Question 8

the head of my or penis smells fishy. i am circumsized and i shower twice a day but the smell won't go away. i have not been sexually active for 1 yr.

Why are you: Smelling your penis in the first place? I doubt that you have a problem, but check w/your physician if you're concerned.

Question 9

i'm using treatment for yellowish smelly vaginal discharge.  now my boyfriend penis smells the same.. what should he do? help

Accepted Answer

See answer: 3 most common types of vaginitis are bacterial vaginosis (overgrowth of normal vaginal bacteria), yeast/fungal; and trichomonas (t). Only the latter (t) can generally be sexually transmitted and is usually asymptomatic . Recommend good soap and water hygiene for male and observation for any new or persistent signs or symptoms and if present, consider then getting an exam.

Question 10

time ago my wife gave me  a yeast infection. doctor gave a cream went away. now again my penis smells even if washed and have red dots on tip. help.?

Accepted Answer

If the ointment did: Not work. Consider a short course of Fluconazole which is an oral anti fungal agent. This should be done under the guidance of your physician. Good luck. Dr. B.
