How Can Foul Body Odor Be Treated?

For almost 40 years, i have struggled with body odor. People say I smell like I had a bowel movement and always say I need a bath. I have had many test and doctors can not find a cause. I was told I had a diseased gall bladder by some doctors, others can t find any issue with my gall bladder. I have had my colon scanned and test ran and still no one come up with an issue. Any help would be appreciated! Suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Our sweat is odourless. It is when it gets mixed with the surface bacteria it gives off a foul odor. Wearing loose cotton clothes, using antiseptic body washes or soaps, carrying a perfume or deospray (use it 3-4 times a day) are some of the tips. Make sure you immerse your clothes in Dettol antiseptic liquid for good 30 mins before washing it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
