What Causes Severe Itchiness On The Scrotum?

I am a very active individual, and I wear compression shorts on a regular basis. I shave my crotch and my scrotum, so I maintain my cleanliness. The past few weeks my scrotum has been very itchy, and I am developing a fishy odor. It s more frustrating than anything, because I maintain a regular cleaning down there. I m guessing it might be a yeast infection, but I wanted to get a doctor s opinion. What do you think?
