What causes body odor in men?

Male friends are most likely to have body odor. When it happens, many patients will become less and less confident, and even dare not get close to others. Their mood will become very low, especially in the summer. This situation is mainly caused by the patient's own genetic factors or bad habits.

1. Genetic factors. Such factors are always unavoidable. When both parents have body odor, the child has an 80% chance of inheriting it; when one parent has body odor, the child has a 50% chance of inheriting it. In addition, body odor can also be passed down from generation to generation.

2. Bad habits. Personal hygiene is closely related to body odor. Bad living habits often lead to frequent body odor. There are many places on the human body that are not conducive to cleaning, such as under the breasts, groin, and umbilical folds. Many young men and women like to wear tight clothes, which causes the skin to stick to the clothes, preventing the evaporation of secretions, causing the local temperature and humidity to be higher, which facilitates the growth and decomposition of bacteria.

3. Living environment. Through investigation, we know that there are more patients with body odor in the south than in the north. This is mainly due to the influence of climate factors. The southern region of my country is close to the coast, with abundant rainfall and high humidity. The humid climate is easy to breed bacteria, which infect the sweat glands in the body and cause body odor.

4. Human body secretions. Through the analysis of underarm odor, it is found that underarm odor is more common in young people. This is mainly because the body secretions of young people are higher than other people, especially those with oily skin, whose body odor is much stronger than that of ordinary people. The secretion of sweat glands often makes the local environment of the body moist, becoming a base for cultivating bacteria, promoting the growth and decomposition of bacteria, and producing body odor.

1. People who sweat a lot should wear loose, breathable and thin clothes. Many people think that wearing long sleeves or thick clothes can cover up the sweat smell, but this is totally wrong. Not only will it increase the amount of sweat, but the sweat smell will also be difficult to dissipate and will become more and more smelly.

2. Antiperspirants should be used after bathing or when the skin is dry, not after sweating.

3. Take a bath regularly on weekdays. Patients should use disinfectant or disinfectant soap to bathe to reduce bacterial growth.

4. Never try to cover up bad smell with the scent of perfume. Firstly, it may easily cause skin allergies. Secondly, the combination of fragrance and bad smell will make the smell even stronger and more unpleasant.

5. You must pay attention to personal hygiene. Once you sweat, especially after exercise, you should wipe it off or take a shower as soon as possible to reduce the chance of body odor. If you cannot take a shower immediately, you should also clean your armpits frequently.
