Will shaving armpit hair cause body odor?

Shaving armpit hair is a method often chosen by many beauty-conscious people to remove armpit hair. Since armpit hair is located where the arm connects to the body, when short sleeves are worn in the summer, the slight movement of raising the arm will leave no place for the armpit hair to hide. Especially for women, the appearance of armpit hair seems to be a serious provocation to their own beauty. Therefore, shaving armpit hair has become a must-do for many women in the summer.

In real life, many people associate shaving armpit hair with body odor, and some even question whether shaving armpit hair will cause body odor. In order to dispel everyone's doubts, this article explains the question of whether shaving armpit hair will cause body odor.

1. It is actually unfair to call body odor a disease. It may be more appropriate to call it a special body odor. Many animals have similar body odor, which has an important function, which is to attract the opposite sex. Human body odor has lost its function in the process of evolution. Nowadays, people with body odor not only cannot attract the opposite sex, but will make people around them feel disgusted. Many patients with body odor have a sense of inferiority and dare not engage in social activities.

2. Body odor is an unpleasant smell secreted by the sweat glands in the armpits. So far, no one has officially counted what percentage of Oriental people suffer from body odor, and in fact there is no objective way to do it. Because many people obviously have body odor, people around them try to avoid them as much as possible, but they themselves have become accustomed to the smell without knowing it, or they know it but are unwilling to admit it. But based on our rough observations, there should be quite a few people with body odor, and the problem will be more serious especially in summer.

Q: So what are the symptoms of body odor?

A: Patients with body odor sometimes have axillary hyperhidrosis. As long as the ambient temperature is high or the mood is tense, the armpits will sweat abnormally excessively and emit an unpleasant odor. Not only will you feel uncomfortable, but people around you will also feel sad; excessive sweating and body odor will turn clothes yellow and leave a lingering smell, causing trouble in cleaning.

Q: What kind of situation will cause body odor?

A: Body odor is caused by the overdevelopment of a special sweat gland in the armpit, which we call "apocrine gland".

The above is an analysis of whether there is a correlation between shaving armpit hair and the formation of body odor. I believe that after reading this article, everyone will have a certain understanding of the formation of body odor. At the same time, I remind everyone to pay attention to safety when shaving armpit hair. Armpit hair will grow longer and longer with the number of times it is shaved. Therefore, you can also use some surgical methods to remove armpit hair.
