					| Question: |  |  |  |  
					| I have this awful smell coming from my testicle area. I take two showers a day , and use powder. what could be the cause ? Did my girl friend give me a yeast infection ? What can I use to get rid of this problem? I'm an adult man. |  |  |  
					| Answer: |  |  |  |  
					| In answer to your questions: 1) diagnosis will require physical examination; best to see your doctor 2) either partner can infect the other and it is equally likely that for example the male can infect the female, who may then re-infect the male, and so forth, so if this does turn out to be a sexually transmitted infection both partners need to be treated 3) treatment depends on diagnosis as above; it would be inappropriate to 'guess' a recommendation |  |  |  |  |  |  |
