Semen - fishy odor ??? (Poll)

[pelvicpain]

I've got some serious pelvic pain problems and believe they're bacterial.
If I masturbate in the evening, when I wake up in the morning, my penis smells fishy where the semen has dripped down.  One doctor told me that one of the components of semen is responsible for this but I never noticed this before my problems developed and when on certain antibiotics that have helped me to some extent, the fishy odor has disappeared.  This leads me to believe either there's bacteria somewhere in my system that's causing my problems or potentially what I'm smelling is from skin bacteria having a party with my stale semen.  My reasoning is that the semen containing the antibiotic would then kill the skin bacteria.   I'm not 100% sure, but based on my history, I suspect there's bacteria in my semen.

Has anyone here noticed this fishy odor?  If so, have you had pelvic pain or similar problems?  I can't believe this doctor has me questioning whether or not this is normal... I've had my penis for as long as I can remember and I haven't noticed this smell until my problems started.

Anyone?  

Thanks.

Same problem, with the pain.  About a year ago I had a vasectomy and that's when the problems started.  The smell came first, not to bad at first then really strong.  Soon after that I noticed that I would start having a pain in my lower right pelvic area as I would build up to a climax.  Then it got to the point I would have to stop, mood breaker for the wife and I.  I was told it was prostatitis, I have been on and off antibiotics for 2-3 months.  When I am on the meds the smell and pain go away but then slowly come back when the medicine runs out.  I don't want to be on antibiotics  forever.

Still having the problem so if you have a fix it would be great to hear.

I have have had the fishy smell myself also, and have researched it with many different answers. It usually was the same after masterbation I would have the smell the next day or hours after,  also especially if you do not clean off the ejaculant.
There was no pelvic pain or anything to that. I figured it to be from dead sperm. It only survives a short time in open air where as to 72 hour in the females reproductive system. That is the conclusion I came to from my research.  I Hope this helps
