What Causes Strong Odor From The Body?
Hi, for the last 2 months there is a constant odor a mix of sweet and decay odor. sometimes the smell is so strong it s like I am next to a garbage truck. I asked around nobody else smells this, it doesn t come for me either. I had invasive breast cancer 7 years ago and I am a bit worried. The odor is strong and disgusting

Hi,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query.
It appears from your query that you have developed the condition known as Paraosmia. paraosmia is a disorder of the sense of smell whether the person feels bad smell coming out from surrounding.
THere are many reasons for the same and all or correlated to the brain functions. I suggest you to meet your treating cancer surgeon and report the same immediately to see any important thing in causation of the same.
Hope these informations will help.
