What Causes Strong Odor Around Genitals Along With Rashes?

Brief Answer:
Smegma can have bad odour due to superadded fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query here on healthcaremagic.com

I have read through your question carefully and understand your concern.

The strong odour/odor from the penis is most likely due to accumulation of smegma (normal skin debris) within the prepuce (under the foreskin). The dead skin cells are then metabolised by the normal bacterial flora around the glans like mycobacterium smegmatis, etc. at times, there can be additional fungi that also feed on dead cells, and this can result in a strong odor.

The solution to this problem is simple washing with soap and hot water, and keep the foreskin and the inner side dry, wash the area with soap and water twice a day and that should suffice.

Now this brings us to the other problem, XXXXXXX colored semen. By XXXXXXX you mean brown color I guess, and brown discolouration is mostly due to old blood in the semen.

Bleeding in the prostate, seminal vesicles or testes can be the reason for this.

Bleeding from testes and seminal vesicles is most often due to direct trauma, however, bleeding from the prostate can be due to infection/inflammation.

Prostate, as we age, becomes enlarged, and it is quite common to develop prostate enlargement in your age. An enlarged prostate predisposes one to develop recurrent infections, and these can lead to minor bleeding, that presents as brownish semen.

Consult a urologist and get yourself examined to rule out prostate pathology.

As for pain after sexual intercourse in your partner, it may be due to cervical erosions, and vaginal irritation caused by alkaline pH of the semen. Use a condom to avoid ejaculating into the vagina, or your partner can use lubricants and vaginal applications that maintain the pH in balance.

I hope to have addressed your query adequately, please feel free to write back to me if you have additional concerns.

Wishing you good health.

Best regards

Brief Answer:
Your description is consistent with lower urinary tract infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

Thank you very much for writing back and clarifying.

Your history is consistent with features of lower urinary tract infection, most likely a chronic prostatitis. Likely to be bacterial in nature.

This would explain all the symptoms you have mentioned, including the pain experienced by your partner after sexual intercourse.

My suggestions to you are,

1. Consult a urologist and get yourself examined.
2. Get a routine urine exam along with culture and sensitivity done.
3. Get a complete semen analysis including culture and sensitivity test done.

You might need a prolonged course antibiotics to get rid of the infection completely.

I hope this answers your question, please feel free to write back if you have any more doubts.

Best regards.
