Fishy Smell from the Manhood? A Rare Health Condition Could be the Cause The first time a man unveils his male organ for a new partner, he hopes to hear a gasp of pleasure, perhaps followed by words of appreciative sentiment. But if he instead hears a gasp for breath and sentiments along the lines of “Open the window, I need some air!” it’s quite likely he is the possessor of an extreme male organ odor emergency. While practicing good male organ health can help provide some rather quick relief from male organ odor, in some cases the situation can be a bit trickier. One of those cases is when trimethylaminuria is a contributing factor to a fishy smell from the manhood. Facts about trimethylaminuria Most people have never come across trimethylaminuria before, one reason being that it is thankfully a fairly rare condition. It also is found rather more often in women than in men, although there is some reason to believe that perhaps it is something that more women than men report. The reason for this belief in underreporting is that trimethylaminuria is caused by a genetic disorder, and it should occur equally in men and in women. Since it is more often associated with women than men, it may mean that it occurs among the genders equally but that perhaps men tend to report it only in its more extreme state. To a degree, society tends to accept that men will tend to be somewhat “smellier” than women, after all. Also called “fish odor syndrome,” trimethylaminuria affects the body’s metabolism so that it has a hard time breaking down trimethylamine, which is a chemical that occurs in the digestive system when bacteria go to work on certain food products. When trimethylamine is properly broken down, it changes into another ingredient which doesn’t smell. But when it remains trimethylamine remains intact as it passes through the digestive process, it retains its strong and unpleasant odor. Eventually, it gets passed out of the body through sweat, saliva and urine. As the nickname implies, unprocessed trimethylamine has an aroma similar to that of dead fish. Male organ odor
