What does your smell reveal about your health?

Most people believe that every unpleasant smell exhaled by our body has to do with sweat. However, this is not entirely correct, as sweat is practically odorless for humans. It is the rapid multiplication of bacteria in the presence of sweat and their decomposition into acids that causes the unpleasant odor.

Most importantly, body odor should be considered a cause for concern because it says a lot about possible health problems like diabetes, liver problems or an incorrect diet.

In this post, the awesome.club collected some information about body odor and its possible causes.

…can be caused by a bowel obstruction. This is a very dangerous medical condition that occurs when there is a blockage in either the large intestine or the small intestine.
Such a blockage in the intestinal tract usually causes breath that smells like poop and anything the person just ate. will make bad breath worse. On the other hand, problems with digestion can cause a bad smell of sweat. Underarm sweat is most affected, although different parts of the body can also produce sweat that smells like fecal matter.

…it is possible that you have a disorder called fish odor syndrome, also known as Trimethylaminuria. It manifests itself in an offensive body odor and a rotten fish smell in the urine🇧🇷 in sweat and breath of people who have this disorder, due to excessive excretion of trimethylaminuria (TMA). Unfortunately, it is a genetic disease and the symptoms are felt from birth. Other causes of a fishy odor can occur as a result of too much protein in the diet or presence of specific bacteria🇧🇷 That is why the treatment of this syndrome, in addition to antibiotics and specific acidic lotions, includes certain dietary measures.

… when you celebrated or attended parties and drank a lot of alcohol. When we consume alcohol, the body recognizes it as a toxin and tries to break it down with acetic acid, which can metabolize approximately 90% of alcohol in this way, but also in others. Part comes out in the form of urine, and equally through sweat and the respiratory system. It’s what causes that specific body odor after a big party.

…if this happens to you, you should take a test hyperhidrosis, which is basically excessive sweating. Although neurological diseases, infectious endocrine and other systemic diseases can also cause hyperhidrosis. In most cases they occur in healthy people. Heat and emotions can trigger it, but many people who suffer from this disorder feel it mostly in the early hours of the morning, even in normal temperatures and without stress. The main sweat zones of the human body are armpits, groin and feet🇧🇷
