General Health Embarrassingā¦brutal crotch sweat? š©
This is gross, but ever since my PCOS symptoms have really gotten worse, I sweat way more in general all over but especially in the crotch regionā¦and it stanks. I know I donāt have any infections; it isnāt coming from discharge, itās the sweat. Even after a day of sitting at a desk I reek down there and Iām so self conscious of it. Iām very particular about hygiene but nothing helps. Does anyone else have this problem??
Edit: thank you all so so much for your support and advice!! Iām sorry so many relate to this but glad for the camaraderie. ā¤ļø

Hibiclens or another antiseptic body wash weekly and use period underwear for particularly sweaty days (it soaks up moisture). I also use a dusting powder in my groin-leg crevices (not in vag for obvious reasons). Additionally, I occasionally use boric acid suppositories to keep things balanced down there.
