Might be normal: As hormone levels rise during adolescence and into adulthood, our bodies produce substances which have odors to them. This is true of both men and women. Many of the odors are quite normal, although new to us! Other conditions, most notably infections, can cause odors as well. It would be a good idea for your friend to begin regular checkups with her family doctor or a gynecologist. Good health!
