Why Does My Boyfriend's Penis Smell So Bad?
I have a question regarding my boyfriend... We have been together over 2 years, and the whole time we ve been together, his penis has smelled terrible. I told him he needed to start washing after every time we have sex, but that still doesn t seem to help. Even after he showers he smells bad, and it s not just B.O. I was tested several months ago and am clean. Should he see a doctor? It is hard for us to get to a physician. I just want to know if there is a way to solve this problem here at home. Besides the bad smell, he has no other symptoms whatsoever. And some times, very rarely, he doesn t smell at all. Any information would help!!

The bad odor comes from deposited smegma in the glans penis or may be due to infection.If it is not possible to see a doctor at this moment he can try some ointment like candid or surfuz.
