One day you take on the world smelling like roses, but the next, despite continuous freshening up, you’re praying that the faint, yet putrid stench following you around isn’t coming from you — is it?
Sometimes you can’t help but fall victim to bad body odor, and it’s not your fault or even a reflection of your personal hygiene — it’s your health. If you can’t quite sniff out the culprit, read on to see if medical intervention might be the cure.
It’s like the foul odor of rotting garbage is seeping from between your legs, and you suspect it’s coming from the place you fear the most — your vagina. There’s no way you can go out in public smelling like this
It’s reminiscent of freshly baked bread, but more yeasty, and it’s definitely not coming from an oven. Instead, you trace this oddity to a source a little farther south and nearer your belt buckle.
Vaginal yeast is often kept in check by a delicate balance of the naturally occurring fungus candida and its bacteria counterpart, lactobacillus. However, a stinky yeast infection can ensue from the most innocent of mistakes. For example, it can result from wearing damp clothing, such as a bathing suit or sweaty gym shorts, for too long.
The best remedy is to try an OTC antifungal for three days. If the stench persists, and especially if it’s paired with discharge, seek a doctor’s help to get a stronger prescription — it might be a bacterial infection.
Joking about “fishy” nether regions can be funny, but it can also be mortifying if it becomes reality. And we’re not talking a fleeting foul smell; we’re talking fully stocked fish market on a warm, busy day.
It’s like a little fruit punch powder was added to your toilet bowl to create an unexpectedly sweet bathroom aroma. This may not be the worst smelling situation, but — and it’s a big but — if the phenomenon persists, you’ll want to get a medical opinion.
If you didn’t know better, you’d guess you hadn’t brushed, flossed or bothered to visit the dentist in a year. No gum or mint is a match for this bout of bad breath.
Sinusitis is a bacterial or viral infection that causes inflammation in sinus tissues, especially the hollow spaces in the bones that connect with the nose. It causes horrific breath because of the mucus draining slowly down the back of your throat. It can also come paired with neon nasal discharge and ear, tooth or jaw pain — oh joy.
Luckily, sinusitis usually rights itself with time. But consult a physician if you develop a headache, stiff neck and swelling around the eyes or forehead or a change in vision.
