What Causes Terrible Penile And Testicular Odour?

Any idea the cause and/or solution of my terrible penile & testicular odor? Washing helps, but smell returns sometimes even before i can get dressed. Some days smell is there immediately after my shower and persists all day, some days I can work up a sweat all day outside and not have it smell at all. I have a history of persistent sinus infections, so maybe an infection or some kind, fungal or bacterial? Ideas?

Hello,

When too much smegma builds up underneath your foreskin and because you sweat a lot or don't wash your penis regularly the possibility of odor is common. it can create smelly white chunks that can cause bacteria to grow. If left untreated, your penis can become inflamed or infected. Wash your penis daily and keep it neat and clean and dry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand, Psychologist
