I have noticed a very strong, unpleasant smell that seems to be coming from my urethra. It has been smelling like this for a while now, and getting worse.

I smell it as soon as I pull down my pants, either when I’m peeing or about to have sex. It’s not the smell of my urine, it’s actually coming from my urethra. Even when I am fully hydrated because I only drink water all day long. I have a job where I am under the hot sun all day for 12 hours straight so I drink nothing but water, sometimes coffee in the morning.

I went to the doctor and got an STI/STD test done, they did a blood sample and a urine sample.my tests came back negative for any STI’s and also no infections or anything at all. The only thing my doctor left on the note was that I was very low on Vitamin D and need to start taking a Vitamin D3 supplement.

I have been trying to use google ti see what might be the causes, so I have a better idea of what to ask my Doctor about in my next visit, and to see if I need to see some kind of specialist. But, all that comes up when I search, is all just stuff about bad smelling pee. My pee doesn’t smell bad unless I am really dehydrated for some reason or eat asparagus. This smell from my urethra is constant, and VERY strong.

My girlfriend has said it’s unpleasant and makes her not want to go down there, which is making me very insecure about myself and it makes it so much worse that I can’t figure out what it is. I just want to get this resolved!

If anyone has had anything similar or if this sounds like something you’ve been through, please tell me how you figured out what it was and what I should do!! Thanks!

Edit: I am circumsized. And I’m in good shape.
