Persistent Body Odor: Possible Causes & Connection to Health Conditions
QuestionI hope this doesn't sound crazy. I have a very strong odor to my sweat, urine, feces and during my menstrual cycle. The best way I can describe it is a very strong "raw meat" or protein odor. It's been going on about a month now. I have been recently diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, pre-diabetes and my doctor is watching further labs for auto immune hepatitis. I have high cholesterol that has been controlled with medicine (Simvastatin) and diet. I am overweight by about 50 pounds. I will be 40 in December. I got an IUD a few months ago also. The Simvastatin is the only prescription I currently take. If you need any more information, please let me know.
AnswerI would ask your doctor about it. I wonder if you are passing protein in the urine? Important to get that checked out--could be a kidney problem. It's common to have sweet breath (almost sickeningly sweet) with diabetes, but the protein smell I'm unfamiliar with.
