Question 1

what else can i do to control my body odor besides bathing with dial and using deodorant?

Accepted Answer

Lots of water: Some people can affect their body odor with diet changes. I know of two patients who noticed changes...One stopped red meat and the other stopped dairy. Drinking lots of water can also help keep body flushed of toxins that can lead to bad odor. A sauna can also help flush out toxins through the skin and reduce b.O.

Question 2

so i've been having this really bad body odor that is constant i bath twice a day and still stink,what can be wrong with me?

Accepted Answer

Apocrine sweat: most 'bad' smells are related to metabolic products of sulfur. We make them from food like garlic and cumin, and our bacteria (remember, we are close to half made of bacteria) make them too. Plus the apocrine (oily) sweat glands are INTENDED to make your unique smell so your loved ones can find you. Just be sure your liver is working well, choose a good soap, and avoid smell generating foods.

See below: #1 - change your diet. Lots of spices and foods used in Indian cooking cause body odor. They are healthy for you but this is the side effect.

#2 - wear deodorant. All people everywhere have some degree of body odor. You must wear deodorant to counteract the odor and present yourself as clean and able to take of yourself when around other people. And also so other people don't start feeling sick.

Body odor: Body odor is very much affected by our diet.  Medications and stress can also change it.  Staying well hydrated with pure water. eating a 'clean' diet (avoid fast foods, pre-packaged products, preservatives, excessive red meat) and regularly exercising will help reduce unnatural body odor.

Accepted Answer

Odor: Do you know where the odor is coming from? In order to help you, one needs to do history/physical exam maybe labs/studies in order to figure out what is going on. Suggest going to your physician either your obgyn  (physician who did the delivery) or primary care provider. Congratulations and stay safe. I hope this helps.

Question 8

what can cause a sour body odor?

Accepted Answer

Different things: I'd like more information.  Is this an odor that's been persistent, or just appeared recently?  Is this an odor that only you're aware of, or other people have noticed?  Do you have any other medical diagnoses (such as diabetes)?  Barring common issues such as hygiene or diet changes, some causes of a new sour odor include hormonal imbalance or possible infection.

Question 9

can diabetes cause body odor?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you are overweight you could overgrowth of bacteria especially in folds groin and armpits which leads to body odor. Control the diabetes, lose weight and a antibacterial soap such as lever 2000 will decrea bacteria which cause body odor.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Many women...: ...Report that they smell different after having a baby. Presumably that is due to one of the many hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. It is nothing to worry about.
