Tired of smelling like Pee

I am 4 weeks out of surgery and have minor leakage. By the end of the day, I swear my pubic hear smells like urine because of leaking and heat. Has anyone considered shaving off all of their pubic hear to help with smell? If so, did it help?

Change your pad more often and wipe yourself off. Stay hydrated to keep the urine diluted

Thanks for reply. My pad is never full and I only leak when I cough, stand quickly or wait to long to go to pee. I use baby wipes to clean but I still feel not clean. This might just be in my head. Thanks again.

Three suggestions:

1) Avoid asparagus and, to a lesser extent, cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables which contain sulfur compounds that can make some people's urine smelly. Not everyone has the gene to produces the enzyme that breaks down mercaptan but if you've got it asparagus will make your urine whiffy.

2) Get over it. Chances are excellent that nobody will ever smell it but you. Obviously, a shower before a romantic encounter is a good idea but that was true before your surgery. Instead of fretting about it...

3) ... do something about the underlying problem. Do your Kegel pelvic floor exercises. It sounds like you don't leak that much for four weeks and, hopefully, you will be able to get dry before you start the radiation. Oh, and good luck with that. Most guys don't find it that difficult.

Had the exact same issue. I am about a month ahead of you and have seen improvement...so hang in there. Try skipping the pad. For me, it helped to make me more aware of small leaks, and taught me not to wait as long, knowing there was no backup. I did give myself a trim and you are right. That helps!
