Fishy-Smelling Male Organ
by John Dugan OwnerAll
members have odors. It’s natural and a normal function of the body to emit
smells. However, a fishy-smelling male organ is not natural. Although a
temporary fishy smell (perhaps after relations or a swim in a lake) may not be
cause for worry, a persistent foul fragrance may be a sign of a deeper issue.
Thankfully, not all causes of a smelly member are serious, and they are often
easy to remedy. Read on to find out what causes a fishy-smelling male organ and
how to fix it.
#1:
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Often
thought to be just a post-playtime plague for the ladies, men too can get a
UTI. When bacteria find themselves in the urinary tract, there is inflammation,
a lot of discomfort, and often sour-smelling urine. In addition to the smell,
men can also experience extreme pain and an increased urge to urinate, pink
urine, and pain in the side or back. Most times, a round of oral antibiotics
can clear it up.
#2:
Yeast Infection
Another
cause that is often thought to be female only is candida, or a yeast infection.
This occurs when the male organ experiences an overgrowth of
the Candida fungus and creates a moldy, fishy smell. Yeast infections
are also marked by itching, white chunky discharge, burning, and redness. They
can be transmitted to and from intimate partners or just be the result of a
lack of hygiene. Treatment for candida is usually a medicine called Diflucan
and can sometimes take more than one round of it.
#3:
Smegma
It
even sounds a little dirty. When most people think fishy male organ, they think
smegma. Smegma is the buildup of moisture, oils, and skin cells around the
shaft of the member for all men, and specifically under the foreskin in
uncircumcised men. When it’s not dealt with, it congeals into a chunky,
off-white paste that leads to a red-hot member (and not in the good way).
Smegma
is caused by poor hygiene. Washing and keeping the male organ loose and airy is
the best way to get rid of smegma. However, if the foreskin won’t retract or
the inflammation and irritation don’t decrease, see a medical professional.
#4:
Chlamydia
Chlamydia
is a Partner-Transmitted Infection (PTI) that’s contracted by having any kind
of intimate contact with someone who’s already infected. Besides a
fishy-smelling male organ, symptoms can also include swelling of the privates,
discharge, and a burning sensation when urinating. Treatment includes a
doctor-prescribed antibiotic.
#5:
Gonorrhea
Colloquially
known as “The Clap,” gonorrhea is a PTI that can affect the reproductive
organs, back, and mouth. It is transmitted partner to partner. In addition to a
funky smell, other symptoms include fiery urination, soreness, itching, pain
when pooping, and a rainbow of discharge that may include white, yellow, or
even green. Head to the doctor immediately for diagnosis and treatment, which
can include both a shot and oral medication.

Tips for Preventing a Fishy-Smelling Male Organ
There
are several easy ways to prevent a smelly male organ. Incorporating them into a
regular routine will guarantee a clean, fresh member.
1)
Wash the member daily, and additionally after relations or physical activity,
with warm water and a mild cleanser. Rinse thoroughly and pat or air dry, as
rubbing can cause irritation.
2)
When cleaning the male organ, be sure to get into every nook and cranny. If
uncircumcised, be sure to pull back the foreskin and gently clean thoroughly to
prevent smegma buildup.
3)
Keep the pubic hair neatly trimmed. Long pubic hair can hold in funky smells
from moisture, bacteria, and dirt.
4)
Wear loose cotton underwear so the private area isn’t compressed and has room
to breathe.
5)
Always have an open dialogue with intimate partners about reproductive health.
Do not have relations with a person suspected of having a PTI as evidenced by a
rash, discharge, or other symptoms.
6)
When having relations, use latex barriers and a water-based creme to prevent
infection and bacteria.
7)
Use a specially formulated male organ health creme (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil,
which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) to keep the
member moisturized and fresh. Use a crème with vitamin A for its antibacterial
properties. Also look for a crème with natural emollients like shea butter and
vitamin E to seal in moisture, leaving skin hydrated and supple.
