What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?

When someone complains of body odor, the doctor will need more information. Some of the questions he or she might ask include:

  • When did the body odor start?
  • Can you describe the body odor?
  • Where does the body odor seem to be coming from? (Such as from all over, the breath, the armpits, the urine, or the genitals)
  • Is the odor constant or does it occur at different times?
  • Is there anything that makes the odor better or worse?
  • Is there any family history of body odor?
  • What other medical conditions do you have? (if any)
  • What medicines, herbs, or drugs are you taking?
  • Do you have any other symptoms?
