The Dhaka Times Desk Every human body has its own odor. But if it causes discomfort to others, then it becomes a problem. Odor is caused by bacteria that build up on the skin due to sweat. Apart from sweat, body odor can be caused by various reasons.
Many people suffer from discomfort due to body odor. Some people sweat a little more, especially in this summer. They use different deodorants or perfumes to keep themselves odor free.
Excess water from the body and some minerals and waste products are excreted as sweat. Everyone has their own body odor. But if it causes discomfort to others, then that is the problem.
Sweat does not smell directly. The bacteria formed due to the accumulation of sweat on the skin is the main cause of this bad smell. But apart from sweat, there are many other reasons that can cause unwanted body odor. Find out today why the body may smell bad despite being clean.
In pregnancy
Sometimes body odor can change during pregnancy. And one of the reasons is the hormonal changes in the body. A woman's blood flow increases during pregnancy. Because of which sweat is more. Keeping the body hydrated is essential to combat this problem. Drinking more water is important. Also wear loose and light clothes.
Infection of the private parts
Genital infections can also occur due to lack of general hygiene. Due to lack of regular care, dead cells accumulate in the genital skin. Skin lesions are also formed due to accumulation for a long time. The stench comes from there. By doing this, this stench can also spread in the body. If this is the case, it is better not to use alkaline soap. By doing this, the wound can grow.
Urinary tract infection
Problems such as burning sensation, pain or pin drop are also seen when urinating. Then there is no urination despite the urge to urinate. Drinking less water also changes the color of urine. Even after repeated washing with water, the problem does not come under control. Doctors said, this habit of drinking less water is the root of all kidney or urinary problems. When this disease settles in the body, the urine smells bad. Bad smell can also spread to the body.
Certain diseases and drugs
Even if you take anti-depressants regularly, body odor often occurs. Apart from this, patients with kidney or liver disease and diabetics often have body odor.
Neglect of oral health
In addition to preventing tooth decay and gum disease, oral health must also be taken care of to reduce body odor. Food particles and bacteria accumulate between the teeth and cause bad breath. And then the bad breath comes out. Sulfur in food also causes foul smell. Therefore, to reduce the risk of body odor, you need to brush your teeth twice a day, ie at night and in the morning. The inside of the mouth should be cleaned well. Source: Anandabazar Patrika Online.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
