My Body odor is ruining my life - please help
Hello everyone,
For the past month I've been suffering from a strong
Body Odor and I simply don't know where it is coming from. In case it helps, I'm a 21 years old female, 5'4, 120 lb. I've never have a problem with
Body Odor s before; however, about a month ago I started having a lot of vaginal discharge so I used a douche and next day I started smelling very strongly like onions. The smell was so strong everyone at work started talking about how it smelled like onions near me. At first I thought the smell was coming from my vagina so I went to the restroom and check but I couldn't smell anything. That same day I went home and used the 1 day monistat cream thinking maybe I had a yeast infection. Next day I woke up and I wasn't smelling like onions anymore so I figured the monistat have worked. I went to work relieved that my odor was gone and went on with my day like I normally do. However, after a couple of hours, my coworkers started making faces when they came near me and people started asking what is that smell. But I couldn't smell anything bad so I thought I wasn't me. Later that day, I went to the gym and the people next to me started saying the same thing what's that smell and again I couldn't smell anything only a slight musky smell but it wasn't too strong. That night I read somewhere online that garlic was good for treating vaginal odors so I put a garlic in my vagina and I left it there overnight. Next day I drove over to my friend's house and my ac wasn't working so I started sweating really bad. As soon as I got out of my car this terrible garbage smell hit me and I couldn't believe it was me. So I started waking and the smell was following me.The smell was so bad it was overwhelming I tried perfume but nothing seemed to make it better. I took a shower that night and I couldn't smell it anymore so I figure it was because of the garlic and next day I went to work as usual. As soon as I got to work everyone started giving me looks or people would ask what was that smell as soon as customers got close to me they would start sneezing, coughing or touching their noses and start breathing through their mouths. I think the smell was so bad that my coworkers would avoid being near me as much as possible.
The next couple of days I tried everything from using a lot of perfume to getting a stronger deodorant to drinking vinegar and taking probiotics but nothing seemed to work I seemed to smell bad right after taking a shower. But somehow i couldn't smell anything and my mom couldn't smell anything either. So next day I went to see my gynecologist and to my surprise she said she couldn't smell anything and gave me an
Antibiotic flagyl 500 mg 2 pills a day for seven day. That gave me a little confidence and I started thinking that maybe I didn't smell and it was all in my mind so I went to the pharmacy and as soon as I got there everyone standing near me started either coughing or breathing through their mouths. I sat down next to this women and she immediately left and sat down as far away from me as possible.
Next week when I was done with the
Antibiotic with no improvements I went to see another gynecologist that said the same thing that she couldn't smell anything and that everything looked fine. I got tested for everything and the results were good i didn't have any infections. However, she still gave me an
Antibiotic tinidazole 500 mg 4 pills only one dose. Next day went I went to work and I was still getting looks and making people sneeze I realized that this antibiotic didn't wok either.
Now I'm just desperate and depressed I had to leave my job because I couldn't take anymore I hate how all of my coworkers started avoiding me and I still couldn't smell anything. I've taking every supplement that you can think of. Zinc, chlorophyll pills, probiotics, folic acid, vinegar, vitamin c, chlorofresh. I tried bathing with vinegar, epom salt and baking soda. I tried drinking more water and eating mostly veggies and fruits. I even tried not eating for a day but nothing helps. I take two showers a day, I got an antibacterial soap and a detox soap. I tried laxatives, enemas and a colon clean but nothing makes the smell go away. I don't even know what to do anymore. I don't want to leave my house or go to the gym because I get super anxious about people reactions. I got a new job and I hate having to go there and seeing people touching their noses and sniffing as soon as they get near me. My mom and my best friend think I'm crazy because they can't smell anything. But I know I smell by the way people behave around me. I just don't know what it is I smell like anymore. I also don't know where the smell is coming from. Since my clothes smell good when I take them off even my underwear. I don't have any vaginal discharge, and my vagina doesn't smell bad when I wipe. My urine doesn't smell bad either nor do my armpits. This leaves me thinking that the smell may be coming from my anus because somethings when I wipe it smells bad and it feels wet sometimes. I feel the smell is not as bad as it was before but I still have it and now I just worry that I'm just gonna smell bad forever.
Thanks for reading.
