Hello Dr. Randy, I need help because my penis smells! (Tim, 21 years)

I am Tim and I am 21 years young and my problem is very unpleasant. But: what should I do? I noticed that my penis smells lately. Very unpleasant.

I'm sure my friend notices it too, but doesn't say anything yet. I am really desperate. I wash regularly, but it does not seem to help.

I have even lost the desire to have sex. I must also honestly say that I have no desire to see a doctor. The whole thing is already embarrassing enough for me.

Best regards Tim

Help! My penis smells!

Dear Tim,

First of all, it should be said that every penis has its own particular odor. But since your "best piece" is already a little further away from your nose and you perceive the - as you write - unpleasant smell yourself, I assume that a little action is required here. But don't worry! In many cases, a problem like this can be dealt with in a comparatively uncomplicated way.

Even if you probably don't want to hear it, it's quite possible that you'rewashingyourself "incorrectly". To check this briefly, it is best to carefully pull back your foreskin. If there is a white or white-yellowish substance underneath, it is so-called smegma or "sebaceous secretions". These can smell quite unpleasant, but can be easily removed with thorough washing.

In general, you should always proceed very thoroughly. In the worst case, these secretions can also become infected. And then the whole thing becomes really unpleasant.

You checked and no smegma is present? All clear! Then we come to the next point on our checklist. Maybe you are currently doing more sports or sweating more? Then it could be that bacteria are responsible for the smell. Here, too, the tip is: please pay attention to thorough hygiene and the appropriate hygiene products!

Unpleasant penis odor can also be caused by various infections. In this case, you should definitely consult a doctor.

Because: only he can tell you exactly what kind of infection it is and which remedy is best suited to fight it. You should do yourself a favor and not wait too long. As already mentioned, inflammations in this area are far more unpleasant than the smell that is bothering you right now.

Last but not least, if you only suffer from penis odor from time to time, your diet may also be to blame. Have you ever heard that you can influence the taste of your sperm with certain foods? Among other things, this also applies to your penis itself. The next time you eat a dish that contains a lot of onions or garlic, check to see if the smell is particularly noticeable.

I would like to conclude by telling you that you are not alone in your problem. Many men know how you feel right now. If you question your own behavior, maybe change your cleansing products and - if all this doesn't help - consult your doctor, I am sure that the smell will soon disappear.

All the best,
your Dr. Randy
