What is the cause of the fishy smell in men's private parts?

Many men have genital odor, which often makes them feel embarrassed and affects their confidence. They often change their underwear and take showers, but the odor cannot be removed. They may also wonder if they have some reproductive disease. So what is the reason for genital odor in men? How can men avoid genital odor?

Generally speaking, men's genitals will have a little odor, which is the smell of metabolic oils, residual urine, semen and other substances. Normal men's odor is generally not very strong, and when the odor is strong, it should be taken seriously.

What conditions may cause a strong genital odor?

Hemostatic urethritis: In men, urethritis is caused by pathogens invading the urethra in reverse. In acute symptoms, there is also mucous secretion in the urethra. Afterwards, there may be a lot of purulent secretions. If it becomes acute urethritis, the secretion will become a small amount of more dilute syrupy secretion. This secretion may cause a bad smell in the lower body. Urethritis is often accompanied by frequent urination, hematuria, redness of the urethra, and discomfort when urinating.

Blood prepuce/foreskin is long: Normal male glans oil, semen, and residual urine can generally be effectively cleaned, but for men with prepuce is too long or foreskin is long, these substances will always form white or slightly yellow urine scale in the deepest part of the prepuce. Urine scale has a pungent smell, and if it is not cleaned for a long time, it is easy to cause inflammation such as balanitis and prostatitis.

Supplement obesity or cold and humid environment: These two conditions generally make men sweat more easily, and sweat will make the underwear and lower body skin surface damp and cold. The male genitals are in a damp and cold environment. If the ventilation is poor, the lower body is prone to bacteria growth and odor. In this case, the lower body is also more prone to genital inflammation.

How can men avoid body odor?

Pay attention to hygiene: When taking a bath, pay attention to the cleaning of the male reproductive organs, especially for men with prepuce. Removing dirt and bacteria from the lower body can greatly reduce the probability of inflammation and illness, and it is less likely to make the lower body have a pungent smell.

Treat inflammation: Inflammation is less serious than odor. The main problem is the harm to reproductive health, and it is easy to be repeatedly infected between husband and wife. When inflammation occurs, you need to be alert to whether your spouse is also suffering from inflammation, and pay attention to treating the couple together.

Underwear selection: In addition to paying attention to changing underwear frequently, you should also pay great attention to the selection of underwear and try to wear some breathable and loose underwear. Obese men should pay more attention to this.

If a man has a bad odor in his private parts, it may be because he has not paid attention to environmental hygiene, or it may be because he has already developed an inflammation. If a man has a long-term bad odor in his private parts, he should consult a doctor immediately.
