Feet suddenly become very smelly body signs

If your feet don't usually smell, but suddenly they do, you should pay attention. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, sudden foot odor may be caused by physical weakness. The most common one is decreased liver and kidney function, which will increase sweat gland secretion, cause bacteria to grow, and release odor. If the symptoms are severe, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Observing your feet in daily life will reveal some clues about your physical condition.

Feet suddenly become very smelly body signs

Foot odor may be caused by the growth of bacteria due to being in a humid and stuffy environment for a long time. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that foot odor is a signal of body function deficiency. For example, deficiency of the liver and kidneys can lead to increased secretion of sweat glands, causing foot odor. Therefore, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to see if the body is already sick.
