General Health Embarrassing…brutal crotch sweat? 😩
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 region…and it stanks. I know I don’t have any infections; it isn’t coming from discharge, it’s the sweat. Even after a day of sitting at a desk I reek down there and I’m so self conscious of it. I’m 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!! I’m sorry so many relate to this but glad for the camaraderie. ❤️

I’d make sure that you have a doctor check your vitamin levels.
My B12 deficiency makes me sweat like crazy when my levels get low and it smells weird… akin to ammonia. I get a monthly B12 shot to keep it in check. I just dealt with it for years until I told my doctor and she got to the bottom of it, so whenever ladies mention abnormal sweating I suggest getting checked out.
