A member asked:
I have a problem with smelling like poop, i don't have to have a bowl movement or pass any gas but i smell like poop? i shower and the smell is still there. what could this be ? and who do i see for this?

Parosmia?: First step will be to substantiate the smell with the help of a friend or a family member. If nobody else smells something similar you may have parosmia, an altered sense of smell. If indeed there is such a smell you may need a good physical exam in trying to identify the source and that should be done by your primary care physician.
