Body odour in peri

8 replies

Thomasina2021 · 21/02/2021 14:06

I am 48 and have no other symptoms except when I exercise or sometimes wake in morning u definitely have smellier armpits than I used to

Dp keeps pointing it out and I am getting really paranoid . I shower / bath 1-2 times and day and always after exercise - any tips ? Is this a sign of peri ? Thanks !

Yes. I had this. Was making me very paranoid. I changed to soap from shower gel and it is no longer a problem. I told a couple of friends who had the same problem with odour and when they changed to soap from shower gel, the odour went.
Perhaps someone more knowledgable than me can explain

Exactly the same here and I changed to soap as well.

I’m not quite 40 yet and have had this issue for about 6 months - also use soap, which cleans me but the smell can be hard to remove and develops quite quickly.

I’ve also gone off sex and feel much more dry the last few months.

Could this be peri already, at my age?

Soap and a scrubby thing.

And Mitchum deodorant.

@BloodyCovid it could well be ?

Maybe get levels checked , I think I am going to... cx

@Thomasina2021 Yes the soap not shower gel is odd. I read about it on this site a few years ago. And as I was experiencing problems, thought I’d give it ago. Was given a Clarins body wash for Christmas and had to stop using it. Musty unwashed odour returned after couple of hours. So back to soap
