weird question … my genitals go through cycles of smelling EXACTLY like maple syrup … anyone else ??? i tried searching it but couldnt find anything definitve enough. thank you.
Uhmmm is this a joke? How is it even possible to smell your own nuts?
hahaha, no man, not a joke at all … literally, i go through stages where genitals totally emit a strong sugary smell and reminds me exactly of maple syrup … i know man, it sounds crazy, but i swear to god, and it never, ever happened before finasteride
Well just realize this site gets enough flak for attracting what naysayers perceive to be hypochondriacs and psychosomatic cases… posts like these do nothing to help dispel such labels.
Oh, well, I do apologize if my question is not appropriate for the forum. It is legitimate in my case though. Perhaps it is completely unrelated, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar. Obviously you have not. My bad.
Better question; are you joking? you’re a grown man and you have never heard of genitalia emitting odours?
Hormones govern the way that we smell. So it is little surprise to me that a person potentially suffering from hormone imbalances is reporting that the area where Androgens are produced smells differently.
Lennon, I went through a phase last summer where that area was giving off a strange smell. Nothing like maple syrup, but it smelt like a certain vagina, no joke. I began to wonder whether it was the smell of oestrogen.
The smell coincided with periods of profuse sweating from my armpits for no apparent reason. I could just be sitting there doing nothing with sweat pouring from my armpits and this strange smell coming from my knob. There is definitely something weird going on with our hormones.

It is very strange. Before finasteride the odor of sweat seemed more salty, now it smells very sweet. The smell is very distinct. I know it sounds weird but it is the best comparison I can make.
@Lennon,
I know exactly, what you mean. I call it the “male smell” I lost it after fin and now its comming back more and more. That are the missing pheromones, my the lower Androgen action on the cells.
Lennon, there are rare forms of diabetes and metabolic disorders that can cause urine to smell like maple syrup. Is it possible your not your genitals, but your urine smells? Perhaps from leakage or the remaining drops after you urinate getting in your underwear?
If your urine smells sweet or like maple syrup you should seek medical attention. This can be a sign of a rare metabolic disorder or a form of diabetes.
Thanks Martin.
No, it is not urine. It is only when my genitals sweat really. It is like the sweat smell shifted from salty to sweet. Luckily, I am not really “leaking” anymore and have not been for a long time. Also, I do not wear underwear. I hate them. Always have.
With all of this said, I am one of the people who seems to be packing on weight, like I am a chick, since this all happened to me. Who knows, maybe my finasteride use and weight gain from it have caused me to develop some form of diabeties or something. I guess I will have to add that to my list on my next doctor visit.
Thanks for the tip.
