Some body odors “warn” about existing diseases, warns Russian doctor Dr. Alexandra Belova. She notes that body odor occurs for a harmless reason (mainly related to food eaten), but it can also signal health problems.
In particular, a specific odor may occur as a result of the onset of diabetic ketoacidosis – an acute, serious and life-threatening complication of diabetes caused by a lack of insulin. The reason for the smell of garlic in the body can be represented by liver and kidney diseases.
“Diabetic ketoacidosis is characterized by rapid and deep breathing, which leaves the smell of a rotten apple due to the presence of volatile acetone in the exhaled air,” explains Belova.
In addition, in the case of kidney failure, which can be both acute and chronic, a special smell emitted by the body is felt. In kidney failure, the kidneys stop performing important functions, including filtering the blood and breaking down harmful elements and substances. As a result, toxins can build up in the blood, giving the body an ammonia smell.
Liver disease is another possible cause of body odor. In particular, the smell of garlic in the body can be due to liver diseases. “When the liver stops working properly, toxins and other harmful substances accumulate in urine, sweat and breath, which are then excreted through the sweat glands,” warns the therapist, according to actualno.com.
Dr. Belova added that people with serious liver diseases smell “flavors” of moldy garlic and rotten eggs in their breath, exquis.ro cites.
If the liver disease has already started to develop, then the following symptoms will also appear:
