Some body organs communicate through signals that may be difficult for many to understand, which underscores the importance of increased health alertness.

Understanding body odors: What does sweat reveal?

The presence of different sweat odors, often overlooked by some, can convey important information about underlying health issues. Despite adherence to hygiene practices, unpleasant odor of sweat may serve as an indicator of certain diseases:

Acetone-like smell: A smell reminiscent of acetone may indicate high blood sugar levels, due to insufficient insulin, which negatively affects glucose levels.

Ammonia-like odor: The ammonia-like odor of sweat indicates liver and kidney problems, arising from insufficiently digested substances entering the bloodstream, which are later expelled through sweat. This odor may also be associated with mastopathy, tuberculosis, or thyroid irregularities.

The smell of hydrogen sulfide: A smell similar to hydrogen sulfide indicates problems with the digestive system.

Honey-like odor: Sweat with a honey-like odor is associated with cystitis.

Vinegar-like odor: A vinegar-like odor of sweat indicates a deficiency of vitamins B and D. Bad body odor may indicate lung, kidney, or gum disease, throat infections, or digestive system problems.

Deciphering urine signals

In addition to sweat, the smell and color of urine provide additional information about a person’s health:

Fishy odor: A fishy urine odor indicates the possibility of a sexually transmitted disease.

Citrus odor: Citrus-smelling urine may be associated with gastritis.

Monitor urine color:

Dark urine: Dark urine indicates dehydration, which emphasizes the need to increase water consumption.

Brown urine: Brown urine indicates severe liver disease.

Any noticeable and unexplained changes in urine color require immediate medical attention, leading to comprehensive testing to ensure overall health.
