Hormonal problems

"Hormonal fluctuations can play a role in body odor." This is something that can also happen during menopause. "Testosterone levels predominate, which attract more bacteria to sweat and make it smell more intense."

You have some illness

"It can be a side effect of other conditions, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism or liver problems."

Poor diet

"Diets rich in spices or ingredients such as garlic and onion can change and affect body odor."

You are getting older

"Body odor can change as we age."
