Many people think that body odor is a sign of bad hygiene habits, but this is not the case. Sometimes, these "bad smells" may be important signals from the body, indicating the onset of certain diseases. Today we will take stock of those "bad smells" that we need to pay special attention to. The "rotten apple" taste of diabetes If you notice that someone with diabetes around you has a "rotten apple" breath , this could be a sign of diabetic ketoacidosis . This is because diabetic patients have insufficient or resistant insulin secretion, which leads to the accumulation of ketone bodies and glucose in the body. Some ketone bodies, such as acetone, will be exhaled, producing a special odor . This is a serious complication of diabetes and if not treated promptly, it may cause coma or even death. The "rotten egg" smell of liver failure For some friends with liver problems, they may find that they have a rotten egg smell in their mouth or urine . Zeqiao original copyright contact This is due to impaired liver function, such as cirrhosis , which cannot effectively break down certain compounds in the body , such as methyl mercaptan and dimethyl disulfide, which accumulate in the body and are released through breathing or urination. A sour taste in the mouth 80%-90% of bad breath is related to factors in the oral cavity, such as poor oral hygiene, periodontal disease, caries , etc. The main source of bad breath is volatile sulfides produced by bacteria decomposing sulfur-containing amino acids. However, about 10% of bad breath problems come from outside the mouth, such as the throat, lungs, stomach, etc. In particular, Helicobacter pylori infection in the stomach has been confirmed by studies in recent years to be an important cause of stubborn bad breath. If bad breath persists and has a sour smell , after excluding oral diseases, you should consider testing whether Helicobacter pylori exceeds the standard . Zeqiao original copyright contact The disease behind smelly farts Most of the time, farting is just a normal part of the digestive process, but if your farts smell fishy , it could be a sign of bleeding in the digestive tract . This situation should be taken seriously because it may be related to serious diseases such as colon cancer . Therefore, if you encounter this situation, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible. Unusual "fishy" odor of vaginal discharge Normal leucorrhea is usually clear, thin and slightly sticky, milky white or transparent in color, and has no obvious odor. If the color of the vaginal discharge turns yellow-green and is accompanied by a fishy smell , it may be Trichomonas vaginitis ; If it is cement-colored and has a fishy odor , it could be bacterial vaginosis ; If the leucorrhea looks like cheese or tofu dregs and has a fishy smell, it may be candidal vaginitis . Zeqiao original copyright contact In addition, if the color of leucorrhea turns brown , it means there is bleeding. Even if there is no odor, it may be a warning sign of diseases such as cervical polyps or even malignant tumors . In short, when the body suddenly has an unexplained "odd smell", do not ignore its existence. Although there is no need to panic, paying attention to the changes in the body in time can help to detect potential problems early and get appropriate treatment as soon as possible. |
