    A fishy smell on the glans may be caused by balanitis, foreskin, urinary tract infection and other reasons. Targeted adjustments need to be made according to personal reasons.

    1. Balanitis

    This is a relatively common disease, mainly caused by inflammatory stimulation, which usually results in congestion, redness and swelling of the glans, and even a fishy smell. Medication adjustments such as amoxicillin capsules, roxithromycin dispersible tablets, and azithromycin dispersible tablets need to be used under the guidance of a doctor.

    2. Foreskin is too long

    If the foreskin is too long, it may cause dirt to accumulate on the glans, which may also lead to a fishy smell. Usually it needs to be adjusted by circumcision.

    3. Urinary tract infection

    Urinary tract infection mainly causes frequent urination and urgency, and may even lead to an increase in urethral secretions, resulting in a fishy smell on the glans. Generally, it needs to be adjusted by using levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules, amoxicillin capsules, roxithromycin dispersible tablets and other drugs.

    In addition to the above common reasons, it may also be caused by not paying attention to personal hygiene.
