    If the glans has a fishy odor, it can be treated with topical ointments or oral medications.

    A fishy odor on the glans may be caused by the overlong foreskin. Excessive foreskin can easily hide dirt. If not cleaned properly, bacteria may breed and cause a fishy odor on the glans. It may also be caused by trauma to the glans, causing infection. The glans has a fishy odor, accompanied by symptoms such as ulceration and swelling. Drugs need to be treated under the guidance of a doctor, such as ketoconazole ointment, erythromycin ointment, fusidic cream, etc., which can be applied topically to relieve symptoms. You can also take oral medication such as mycomycin capsules, metronidazole tablets, itraconazole tablets, etc. under the guidance of a doctor.

    You need to keep your vagina clean and dry, avoid frequent sex, and choose loose cotton underwear.
