Title: sweat smelling a bit yeasty
Post by: jgr on September 24, 2013, 09:55:09 PM

Hi ladies, has anyone had experience with night sweats smelling a bit like yeast. I noticed it in April this year and thought it was due to the fake tan i was using. It seemed to disappear when i stopped using it, but noticed it's return a few weeks ago (no longer use the tan).

I don't smell it at any other time of the day, only if i am hot and sweaty in bed.

Could this be another symptom or something else. X

I find it's almost an earthy sort of foxy/musky smell and, funnily enough, in my experience men quite like it. Maybe it's the body's last ditch attempt to attract a mate!! It's definitely totally different to the usual sweaty smell.  I define anyone to feel sexy while in the grips of a hot sweat though!

Yes, I've noticed it in the past few weeks - can't bear it, as my sense of smell is acute! I found the following article:http://www.34-menopause-symptoms.com/body-odor.htm
