What Causes Bad Odour From Penis?

My boyfriend s penis has recently developed an odor, and even immediately after showering the odor persists. He s never had this problem before and we re wondering what ro do about it. I ve read about trying hydrogen peroxide, neosporin, and mouthwash but was wondering if any of these would actually work. How can we solve and remove the smell?

most common causes r bed odor of penis,
1. to develop para phimosis.
2. urinary tracking infection
3. 3. Pubic hair. Pubic hair can trap heat, urine and perspiration and allows bacteria to grow quickly.

How do we stop penis odor?

1. You might want to think undergoing circumcision. This will take off the foreskin which is a major cause of bad smell.

2. If circumcision is your last option, remember to wash your incommunicable parts completely with soap every time you bathe. Retract your foreskin and give the area underneath a good rubbing. Do not forget your scrotum, groin and crotch areas as well.

3. You might want to trim or take off your pubic hair as well. This will undoubtedly help you smell better, not forgetting a shaved penis admittedly looks bigger than an unshaved penis.

4. Apply medicated powder when necessary. This will help 'dry' up your incommunicable parts, thus production bacterial infection less favourable.
