What Causes Semen To Smell Bad And Taste Bitter ?

hello, i have a few questions , rather personal questions i must add, it's about my sex partner, i noticed that his semen has a bad odor to it and also the taste of it is very bitter, would you know what causes that? does he have any sort of infection or it's just a natural thing different from person to person.

Hello
Thanks for query .

Semen contains fructose hence sweat in tests .

Bad odor and bitter test of semen indicates infection either of Seminal Vesicle or Prostate .

Ask your partner to get his semen examination and culture done and to take appropriate antibiotic as per culture report .
