What Causes Discharge From Penis With Strong Odor?
Question: For several months I have had an unusual smell from some sort of discharge from my penis. It is not really an offensive smell, but very different. It smells sort of like peanuts, nut oil, etc. I have just had my urine tested in a lab and they found no problems at all.
Brief Answer:
Fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
This type of smell usually occurs in fungal infection.
It is also difficult to demonstrate fungi in urine tests.
I treat such patients with tablet fluconazole once a week for four weeks and have seen excellent response.
You can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thańk you.
