How to treat body odor?
Body odor, also known as body odor, means that the sweat secreted has a special smell or the sweat decomposes to produce an odor. Sweat odor is more common in hyperhidrosis, sweat is not easy to evaporate, and there are parts with big sweat glands, such as armpit, groin, foot, perianal region, vulva, umbilical fossa and female breast. Sweat on feet and armpits is the most common. The specific treatment methods are as follows:
(1) cauterization: laser, high-frequency electroacupuncture, electrolysis, etc.
(2) Local injection of drugs: usually, sclerosing agents such as alcohol, alum, sodium morrhuate, quinine and urea are injected into the armpit skin, which leads to fibrosis and protein degeneration of subcutaneous tissue, leading to atrophy of apocrine glands and occlusion of ducts, thus effectively inhibiting the secretion of apocrine glands and achieving therapeutic effects.
(3) liquid nitrogen freezing method.
(4) There are other surgical treatments that need to be completed in the operating room, such as shaving, peeling and removing body odor. In short, different treatment methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of specific treatment methods should be decided according to the requirements of patients and the severity of body odor.
How to treat body odor best?
1 First of all, to get rid of body odor, we should keep an optimistic and positive attitude. Too nervous or depressed emotions can lead to unhealthy emotions, break the endocrine balance and aggravate body odor. On the contrary, a positive attitude is also of great significance for the adjustment of body odor symptoms.
2. Secondly, to get rid of body odor, we need to pay attention to our daily habits:
(1) Good hygiene. Daily care of body odor may wish to maintain good hygiene habits, especially the refreshing skin under the armpit, which can effectively inhibit the proliferation of bacteria on the body surface and weaken the decomposition of bacteria, thus playing the role of body odor care. It can be eradicated with Bai Diqing.
② Healthy diet. A healthy diet can play the role of body odor care, and the diet should be light to reduce the phase with apocrine glands.
Even for the secretion of fat glands, fruits and vegetables rich in water and dietary fiber can be used to promote the excretion of toxins and metabolic wastes in the body and reduce the excretion on the skin surface, thus playing a role in slowing down body odor.
(3) wearing loose and comfortable. Clothes that are too tight will stick to the skin and prevent secretions from evaporating. Especially in summer, these parts have high temperature and high humidity, which become a "culture medium" for bacteria, prompting some bacteria to breed and decompose, resulting in special odor aggravation. Finally, you can use professional deodorant products.
Patients with body odor should "avoid" eating
1, avoid eating "delicious" food.
Irritant or irritating foods, such as onions, garlic and spicy foods, contain sulfur-containing chemicals, which can interfere with the growth of bacteria. However, after they are absorbed by the human body, the odor will be excreted with sweat glands, so it is better to eat less.
2. Avoid oily peanut nuts
When people eat oily food, part of the oil will follow the whole body blood and be excreted with the oil glands connected with sweat glands. If there is too much oil in the human body, bacteria will decompose and form body odor, so eat less greasy food.
3. Avoid too much red meat.
Red meat is pork, beef and mutton, with more protein. But bacteria like protein best because it can provide them with nutrition. Therefore, people with body odor should eat less and eat more white meat, that is, poultry meat and fish. Two meals a day is the best, and 3-4 pieces of meat are enough for each meal.
Patients with body odor should eat more food.
1, eat more fruits and vegetables rich in water.
Watermelon, wax gourd, Chinese cabbage, orange, etc. Rich in cellulose and water, it can accelerate the excretion of organic matter in the intestine and help reduce the odor of body odor.
2. Drink more lactic acid drinks.
Lactic acid drinks can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the body, and bacteria don't like to grow in acidic environment, so patients with body odor should drink lactic acid drinks frequently.
