In daily life, if you touch some old people, you will smell an unpleasant smell on them. Some people think that the personal hygiene of the elderly is not very good, and that smell will only appear when they often don't take a shower or change clothes. However, some elderly people do a good job in personal hygiene, and this abnormal smell will also appear. In medicine, the body odor of the elderly is called "the smell of the elderly", which means that after people reach a certain age, this special smell will gradually appear.
After a man is 50 years old, why does it appear that "the old man stinks"? If there are three smells, try not to ignore them.
In particular, some men often eat spicy food because of their living habits, and sebaceous glands secrete more and more fatty acids. Because the metabolism is getting slower and slower at this time, it will lead to a heavy body odor. In addition, not changing clothes in time or not cleaning thoroughly is the main reason for the aggravation of body odor.
If you pay great attention to personal hygiene at ordinary times, of course, this old man will stink, which may be some signals from the disease.
1 sweating
If you often smell the smell of old age, it will attract attention, which may be the early manifestation of diabetes. This also shows that the blood sugar caused by renal function problems can not be metabolized and excreted in time, so it will produce sweat odor in your body, and the development of the disease will lead to uremia.
2 feet smelly
Our feet bear the weight of our bodies, and every day our feet are bound by shoes and socks, which will produce a lot of bacteria and viruses. Some people will have bad foot odor, and some people will have beriberi, especially athlete's foot, which will be very uncomfortable to attack. If the foot odor of the elderly is very serious, it is likely that people with erosive beriberi will have blisters on their soles.
3 bad breath
Most people who have breath think that oral cleaning is not thorough, which is caused by eating some spicy and exciting food. In addition, if there is a disease in the gastrointestinal tract, the breath will be very serious when it comes into contact with people. This smell is like a rotten apple, indicating that the function of human liver, kidney and islet has been damaged.
If the above three smells appear on the elderly, it may be a physical illness. Don't think that it is normal for the elderly to smell, but should arouse more family members' concern and love. Only by finding the disease in time and treating it in time can we avoid the development of the disease.
