Sweating is a normal process of our body, which helps in controlling the body temperature. But if there is a strange or strong smell from the sweat, then it may not only be related to hygiene, but may also be related to some disease? So let us know what is the opinion of the experts about this. Skin care specialist Dr. Vijay lakshmi says that the smell of sweat sometimes indicates internal disorders in the body. It cannot be hidden only with deo or soap, but it is very important to know its exact cause and treat it. So let us know which diseases can be indicated by the smell of sweat.
It can be a sign of diabetes
If the sweat smells sweet or fruity, then it can be a sign of diabetes. This smell arises due to the imbalance of blood sugar in the body. It is also called ketone breath, which can be the result of lack of insulin in the body.
Liver or kidney problems
If the sweat smells strong like ammonia or urine, it may be a sign of a disturbance in the functioning of the liver or kidneys. When the body is unable to excrete waste products properly, they come out through sweat, causing odor.
Thyroid imbalance and hormonal changes
Excessive sweating and smell in it can also be a sign of thyroid problems or hormonal changes. Especially people suffering from hyperthyroidism sweat more, and the smell can also be strong due to chemical changes in the body.
Bacterial infection or fungal infection
Often bacteria or fungus is responsible for smelly sweat. When the body's sweat reacts with the bacteria present on the skin, a bad smell is produced. If this smell is more than normal and persists for a long time, it can be a symptom of a skin infection.
