Where does the body fragrance come from? Is body odor a genetic defect? Doctor: There are three kinds of body odor indicating different diseases.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and we often encounter these situations in our lives: When we go to work by bus or subway, have you noticed that when we sit or stand near a man, we often smell a sweat or other unpleasant smell, but when we stand or sit near a woman, we often smell a faint fragrance.

Body odor is a kind of body odor, which we generally call body odor. So where did the body fragrance come from?

In fact, in the world, it has been difficult to draw an accurate conclusion about the cause of body odor.

There is a general theory that women's body fragrance generally comes from a kind of "sexual fragrance" contained in their bodies, and this "sexual fragrance" can not only be released in the body. It usually changes with people's age, especially in adolescence or development, and the feeling of the opposite sex is the most obvious.

When two opposite sexes of the same species are close together, they will be attracted by this slight unique smell. When these smells are received by the sense of smell of the opposite sex, people's respiratory center is stimulated, the breathing process is accelerated, and the oxygen supply to the brain will increase, which will eventually cause physiological excitement.

We mentioned that since we mentioned body odor, we have to talk about its other extreme, that is, body odor, and the most common smell is body odor.

The body odor that everyone says is actually armpit odor, so why is it called body odor? This is because the smell of body odor is similar to the smell of fox anus. Because body odor is unpleasant, it will not only affect the patients themselves, but also often affect people around them.

The cause of body odor is different from that of body odor. There are many factors, such as genetic factors, mental factors such as excessive stress, and physical factors such as people with developed sweat glands. These people are more likely to cause body odor symptoms.

Let me give you a detailed introduction to the factors that easily cause body odor.

1, family inheritance

Speaking of body odor, the most direct cause of this symptom is family inheritance. In society, in fact, a large number of patients with body odor have a family genetic history. Medical research has found that about 60% patients with body odor have obvious genetic tendency. In most cases, patients with body odor caused by family inheritance are generally younger and heavier than ordinary patients, so more attention should be paid to treatment.

2. Sweating in apocrine glands

This disease generally exists only in axilla, areola, umbilical fossa and external auditory canal. Except for the armpit, this gland has very little influence on other parts of the body and produces very little sweat.

3, endocrine disorders

Endocrine disorder of human body can easily lead to excessive excitement of sympathetic nerve, and the nerve impulse of sweat gland to secrete sweat increases to a certain extent.

4. Personal hygiene habits

Some people have a strong metabolism in the new town. For example, young men and women, especially those with oily skin, may have a heavy body odor. If you don't pay attention to maintaining good hygiene habits, it is likely that body odor will gradually accumulate and eventually lead to body odor.

To sum up, the formation of body odor requires two conditions at the same time. The first condition is that the sweat secreted by sweat glands in human body needs to contain a lot of oil, and the other condition is that bacteria exist on the skin surface. If these two necessary conditions exist at the same time, it will cause body odor.

Many people are worried that if they have used things with people with body odor, such as covering bedding together or using cleaning products such as soap, the other person's body odor bacteria will not affect themselves and lead to body odor infection. This idea is actually incorrect. As can be seen from the above, if there is no oil or only a small amount of oil in the sweat discharged from your body, there will be no symptoms of body odor, or the smell of body odor is very light and almost negligible.

Others will ask, is body odor a genetic defect? In fact, from the above description, we can basically understand that this statement is also wrong. Although the formation of body odor is closely related to genetic factors, it is very inappropriate to say that it is a genetic defect. It's not a defect, but different human characteristics expressed by different genetic factors.

In fact, when it comes to body odor, people often think of the elderly rather than the young. Why? This is because most elderly people have body odor because after a certain age, due to the reduction of physical resistance, a large number of dead skin will be produced on the skin, coupled with physical reasons, such as long bath intervals and other comprehensive factors, body odor will occur. In our life, we generally call this smell of the elderly "the smell of the elderly".

But there are still some body odor, which is more serious than body odor. They no longer belong to the category of general body odor, but are often signs of certain diseases in the body. These body odors come from different organs, not just armpits.

1, the ammonia smell in urine becomes heavier.

In patients with liver diseases, the metabolic function of the liver is weakened to some extent, and the ability to decompose toxins is also reduced to some extent. When blood ammonia rises, the smell of ammonia in urine will be aggravated.

2, the smell of the chest

If you can smell the smell coming from your chest and it doesn't decrease obviously after taking a bath, it may be a sign of magnesium deficiency in your body.

Magnesium is a mineral, which is helpful to deodorize internal organs and reduce body odor. When the human body is short of magnesium, there will be some peculiar smell emitted from the chest, and sometimes it will be accompanied by other symptoms, such as muscle spasm, numbness or tingling. In this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check your magnesium content.

3, the mouth contains the smell of ammonia.

Breathing contains ammonia and smells fishy, which may be a sign of chronic renal failure. The function of the human kidney is to clean up useless substances in the blood. If there is something wrong with the kidney, you can't detoxify normally. The accumulation of these wastes in the body will eventually lead to the diffusion of some odors through the respiratory system, that is, the patient's mouth will contain the odor of ammonia.

Above, I introduced three different ways to distinguish three different diseases by smell, but it should also be noted here that although the smell can reflect some potential diseases on the patient's body to a certain extent, it is generally difficult for ordinary people to distinguish by themselves, nor can they say that they must have a certain disease just by smell, because people's situation is different, and the factors that cause body odor may be varied, and patients still need to go to the hospital to find a doctor for diagnosis before they can be diagnosed.

In a word, we know the source of body odor and the cause of body odor, which can't be said to be genetic defect. Finally, we also learned the relationship between three body odors and different diseases. I hope everyone can have a better grasp and understanding of their health through this article, and finally wish all friends a happy and healthy life!
