Difference between body odor and armpit odor

Body

odor is caused by abnormal secretion of apocrine glands in armpits. The sweat secreted by apocrine glands itself has no odor, but some of them will produce unpleasant smell under bacterial decomposition. Genetic factors play an important role in the occurrence of body odor. If there is a body odor patient in the family, the probability of developing body odor will increase. In addition, changes in hormone levels, diet, hygiene habits, etc. may also affect the occurrence and severity of body odor. Body odor can be treated

by non-surgical and surgical methods. Non-surgical methods include attention to hygiene, laser treatment, etc., which can reduce the odor to a certain extent, but the effect may not last long. Surgical treatment is to remove or destroy apocrine glands to achieve the purpose of radical cure, such as traditional surgical resection, minimally invasive surgery, etc. Surgical treatment is relatively good, but there are certain risks and complications.
