A member asked:

Had sex around 2 months ago and 1 or 2 weeks after i noticed an itching sensation in my urethra and my penis smells fishy even tho i wash it daily ?

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