What is the situation with penile odor?

Patient's question:

My penis has a bad smell after not washing it for two days. Why is this? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the presence of an odor indicates that there is still inflammation in some areas. A normal urinalysis only suggests the absence of urethritis. You may have balanitis and posthitis. You can use povidone-iodine for cleaning and disinfection, and potassium permanganate soaking. Additionally, avoid moisture and tight underwear, which can help improve symptoms.
The discomfort in your lower abdomen and increased nighttime urination suggest the presence of prostatitis. You can undergo a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate and a prostatic fluid examination. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, you can take Pueraria lobata. Avoid prolonged sitting and holding urine in the meantime. If white blood cells are elevated in the prostatic fluid, it indicates bacterial prostatitis, and you can also take levofloxacin.
