What Causes Fishy Smell In Genital Area After Sex?

My partner develops a fishy smell after we have sex, the odour is very strong and can last for days. he has been to the dr's and was given antibiotics but that hasnt helped. we had oral sex and i went down on him, he ejaculated and he then again developed the smell the following day? his seman doesnt smell or taste fishy its just the general area of his genitals..can you help as it is having a big impact on our sex life.

we used to have sex at least 5 times a week but now its only once aweek because we dont want to develop that smell again.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
These symptoms and signs are suggestive of STD especially if there is associated pain, fever, urethral discharge and recent sexual intercourse. So this is the first thing to rule out by doing STD testing. Second, it may be sign of uroinfection or other genital infection but this is less common. In every case, antibiotic therapy may be required so test should be done as soon as possible.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
