Smelling, Hair loss, and wondering if symtoms are related
Question Posted Thursday December 1 2011, 1:56 pm
Hey!
So I'm 17 and a female. I've been experiencing bad smells that i just can't seem to get rid of. Bad breath, armpit smells, and smells from my vaginal area that seems to smell like pee. These have become terrible just recently and not all three smells will be at the same time. But I'm extremely clean! I use toothpaste, floss, mouth wash three times a day. I shower with antibacterial soap & body wash, shampoo & conditioner, i change my sheets, and wash my clothes, i wipe properly. I do sweat allot & use deodorant for that. When i take off my panties they smell horrendously and they are sometimes wet? I'm not sure if it's sweat or what. I also drink allot of water. I've tried switching up my products (soaps, deodorants, toothpastes, etc..). nothing works.
I've also had some other weird noticeable problems lately that i think may have some medical connection. My hair is thinner and falling out, my lips have this annoying white buildup of what seems to be dead skin around the edges during the day, and although i have Primary Raynaud's disease (as my doctor says..) but I have been experiencing and increase in all-over blotchy discolored skin that is purple when it is supposed to be concentrated on my hands.
These problems are extremely frustrating and I'm wondering if all of this sounds like a Thyroid problem or maybe an immune issue? Or might I have a liver problem or a vaginal or bladder infection?
I'm at a loss.. Well, Thanks so much for reading this!
There are many things that can cause body odor, including a change in diet. Have you changed your eating habits recently. Garlic is a great cause of body odor and bad breath. I know some people who take garlic supplements because they believe in the medicinal benefits of garlic.
My best advice though is that you see a doctor. I really can't say if this what you have written about is normal or abnormal for you. The fact that you are this concerned says you are better off getting your a doctors opinion.
Based on your concerns I would suggest you see a gynecologist and an Internist.
