What to do if your armpits smell during pregnancy

Many pregnant women find that their bodies have undergone many changes after pregnancy. All of these reasons are caused by abnormal secretion of various hormones in the body. Some pregnant women will experience allergic symptoms, some will experience nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite, and some will find that their armpits have odor. This may be caused by abnormal secretion of sweat glands. Let’s take a look at what to do if pregnant women have odor under their armpits?

1. Use drugs available to pregnant mothers

It is best for pregnant mothers with body odor not to undergo surgery or oral medication to treat it, because these methods have great disadvantages for both the fetus and the pregnant mother. If a pregnant mother has a strong body odor (armpit odor), she can take some medications available to pregnant women to treat the body odor. Gynecologists recommend the use of 999 axillary lotion, which is milder and more suitable for pregnant women. It can keep the armpits dry, inhibit the secretion of armpit sweat, kill the bacteria on the armpit skin, inhibit the regeneration of skin bacteria, and eliminate the external environment for armpit odor. After use, underarm odor can be kept away from recurrence for a long time. Basically, it is enough to apply it once in the morning and once in the evening. If the situation is serious, you can apply it two to three times during the day, but not too many times.

2. Bathing with soap reduces bacterial growth

Sweat and bacteria decompose through the armpits, areola, anus, vulva and external auditory canal to produce odor. Therefore, to treat axillary odor, keeping the body clean can reduce bacterial growth and prevent axillary odor from occurring. You can take a bath with soap two to three times a day; if you have to go to work and cannot take a bath frequently, you should also wash your armpits regularly. If you sweat a lot after exercise, you should take a shower as soon as possible, otherwise bacteria will grow and multiply, making the odor even stronger.

3. Maintain a happy and optimistic mood

Women with body odor are irritable, sensitive, and have mood swings during pregnancy. Many physiological changes in the emotional process are related to the activity of endocrine glands, which can significantly aggravate the body odor. Be sure to maintain a happy and optimistic mood, which can not only reduce the physiological reactions during pregnancy, but also be very helpful in treating body odor (armpit odor). Patients with axillary odor should be cheerful and lead a regular life. If you are nervous, your armpits will sweat abnormally and excessively, and emit an unpleasant odor.

4. Avoid eating strong-tasting and irritating foods

During pregnancy, many women's tastes will become very strong, like some irritating foods, such as green onions, garlic, peppers, etc. Pregnant mothers with body odor should try to avoid eating these foods! In addition, in terms of eating habits, eating on time every day, in addition to maintaining your own body metabolism and consuming the required nutrients, it is also necessary to ensure the growth and development of the fetus. As pregnancy progresses, the mother's appetite will gradually increase, but she should pay attention to nutritional balance so that the food structure can remain balanced within 24 to 48 hours. The food should be diversified, and the vegetarian food should be a combination of coarse and fine foods. The foods that must be supplemented are protein, fermented food, minerals and vitamins.

In short, pregnant mothers should not be overly concerned about body odor. They should pay attention to emotional stability, live a regular life for a long time, and develop good habits of work and rest, diet, daily life, and activities to establish good conditioned reflexes in the nervous system, avoid endocrine nerve disorders, and reduce sweat gland secretion disorders. It can effectively reduce the phenomenon of body odor. If necessary, use the doctor-recommended 999 axillary dew for pregnant women to achieve the ideal effect of eliminating body odor.
