I'm 23, I had a baby in Jan 05, when i get my period it smells really offensive. Its been happening for about 5 months now. I shower twice a day sometimes 3. I have had a pap smear done about 2 months ago and that came back clear. I have just noticed that i have started to sweat under the arms really bad even though i use body spray. So now what should i do? What could it be? Please Help me

It's hard to be certain why you notice an offensive odor now- though after a baby and as one matures- our bodies change too. It may be your particular body chemistry has changed slightly, or it may even be that you are simply more finely attuned to the odor. There is a difference between deoderant and antiperspirant, though. Deoderant does nothing but camoflauge odor, it does nothing to change how much you are perspiring. That is the job of an antiperspirant. Even that will only control so much, though it also controls the growth of the bacteria that cause much of the odor.
You probably should make another appointment with your physician to discuss this problem. At the time you had your pap smear, the doctor should have noticed if there were signs of a vaginal infection- which would explain an odor as well as discharge- but it is possible that it was missed.
I have read that certain spices can cause one to have a noticeable body odor- but I suspect you would have to be eating them in great quantities all the time. It's also possible that you are just hypersensitive to the odor problem, and that you don't actually smell offensive to others around you. It's certainly worth asking your significant other if he has noticed anything- as he would be a good person to judge and trust. If he hasn't noticed anything, perhaps you could just relax about it all, and sign it off to the changes of a maturing body. Sorry I can't offer better advice than this.

You should see a doctor about the offensive smell from your period. Do you change pads/regularly. Blood begins to smell when it dries so it may be that you need to change pads every couple of hours to stay fresh.
Also use an anti-perspirent under your arms since body sprays generally just mask the odour and do not stop you sweating. A good anti-perspirant is 'sure' or 'mitchum'.
Or if any of those don't work try a high aluminium content based anti-perspirant such as perspirex or dryclor, both of which you apply at night and wash off in the morning - they are brilliant!

you may have hyperhidrosis - intense sweating. I easily have palmar hidrosis, the sweating of the palms. it is chilly or warm and that i'll nonetheless have moist palms which would be embarrassing. attempt a doctor. Mine became only cured with using an aluminum chloride deodorant spray. you may desire to desire a extra robust answer of it. i understand they have prescriptions for those varieties of deodorants in gel or spray sort. There additionally are anticholinergic drugs that would shrink sweating.

Do deep breathing for at least 2/5Min's with closed eyes. When you breath - in feel the good smell of your body and when you breath-out feel the bad smell leaving your body. Do it for 15days regularly for 5/10 times a day. And if you get good results make it a habbit. You will be a healthy person!

May still be hormonal related to the pregnancy, but you should really go see the doctor and explain the situation. They can run some simple blood tests and cultures.
