Smells Your Body Makes That Tells You Something Is Wrong

Strong Sweat Smell

The apocrine glands in the skin are the sweat glands and secrete scents from your body. They produce body odor and the sweat released from your body when you are hot. The sweat that develops is high in protein, so it is broken down bacteria and create body odor. There are many reasons for a strong sweat smell, including underlying medical conditions, eating too much sugar, and medications.

Some of the medical conditions that may be the reason for a strong sweat smell are diabetes, hyperthyroidism, genetic disorders, and kidney or liver dysfunction. When your diabetic, stronger body odor is a sign of a complication or high glucose levels. With hyperthyroidism, the body overproduces sweat constantly and creates an unpleasant body odor. The same goes for liver and kidney dysfunction because toxins build up in the body and are not eliminated quickly.
