What causes strong body odor?

A strong odor in the lower body mainly refers to a strong odor in the female private parts. Generally speaking, there are many reasons for this situation. First of all, it may be related to physiological reasons. For example, during menstruation, such an odor may appear. Of course, we must also be alert to some disease-related reasons. The most common one is vaginitis. Let’s take a look at the reasons for the strong odor in the lower body.

What causes strong body odor?

1. Caused by hormone changes

For women who already have menstruation, the hormone levels in their bodies will be different every month because they will undergo cyclical changes with the arrival of menstruation. At the same time, the amount and smell of vaginal fluid secretions will change.

Therefore, when women are menstruating, there is a high possibility that they will have a strong odor down there. If you don't pay special attention to hygiene, the unpleasant odor will be aggravated. Therefore, if women want to reduce the odor down there, they need to be cleaner.

2. Not choosing the right food

There are many kinds of food, some of which smell pungent, such as garlic, curry, etc. If eaten often, it can easily cause the odor down there to become heavier, making people who get close to women always feel that they can smell a disgusting odor. Of course, this only occurs in very serious situations. Generally speaking, only women themselves can feel it. It is difficult for other people to smell the odor unless they have close contact with women.

3. Not wearing breathable underwear

Wearing underwear is not only to cover up the shame, but also to protect the vulva and prevent some dirt from adhering to its skin surface. It is also to prevent the vulva skin from directly rubbing against the outer pants (or skirt). Some women always like to wear tight underwear. Although this can show off your good figure, it is very bad for the vulva, for example, causing it to emit an unpleasant odor.

The reason for this is that underwear is made of many materials, and many of the fabrics are not breathable enough, which leads to the accumulation of leucorrhea, urine, etc. on the skin and hair of the vulva. At the same time, the vulva is wrapped tightly and cannot breathe, which causes the body temperature of the vulva to rise. This makes it easy for bacteria to grow and cause vulva infection. Once the vulva is infected. This will cause a large number of bacteria to emerge, eventually inducing inflammation. One of the manifestations of inflammation is an unpleasant odor down there.
