Skin care specialist Dr. Vijay Lakshmi says that the smell of sweat sometimes indicates internal problems in the body. It cannot be hidden only with deodorant or soap, but it is very important to know its real cause and treat it. So let us know which diseases can be indicated by the smell of sweat.

could be a sign of diabetes

If the sweat smells sweet or fruity , it could be a sign of diabetes . This smell is produced due to an imbalance of blood sugar in the body. It is also called ketone breath , which can be a result of a 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 disorder in the functioning of the liver or kidneys. When the body is unable to eliminate waste products properly, they come out through sweat, causing odor .

Thyroid imbalance and hormonal changes

Excessive sweating and bad odor can also be a sign of a thyroid problem or hormonal changes. People suffering from hyperthyroidism especially sweat more, and the smell can also be stronger 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 odor is produced. If this smell is more than normal and persists for a long time, then it can be a symptom of a skin infection .

What is the solution?

• Take regular baths and keep yourself clean
• A balanced diet and drinking plenty of water is a must
• Instead of hiding the smell with deo or perfume , know the reason
• If your sweat smells abnormal, consult a doctor
• Take up yoga or meditation to reduce stress
