Excessive Sweating, Strong Foul Odour Emitting From Vaginal Area. Hygenic Lifestyle. Possible Hyperhydrosis?
Hi, I tend to sweat A LOT when I exercise, more than normal even for a guy and I'm a female. I don't sweat through clothes often (ie armpits) but im easily to sweat. If my arms were folded or legs crossed, the enclosed area w ill sweat even if I'm in a cool/cold room. I have a strong foul odor emitting from vaginal area typically daily and I bathe regularly using feminine wash or unscented antibacterial soap..can this be possible hyperhydrosis?

Hi,
There is hyperhidrosis you have in folded and groin area.
Foul smell might be due to bacteria on skin surface.
It is very common problem and occur in many people.
Use dettol liquid in bathing water. Sitz bath may be taken.
Take broad spectrum antibiotics for few weeks.
Wash your clothes anderware in hot water.
Avoid anxiety, you may take anxiolytic drug like fluoxetin.
You may be improved.
You may consult dermatologist.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
