What symptoms are associated with a foul odor from the body?

Patient's question:

Dear kind doctors,
Since my first menstrual period in middle school, I have had a foul odor on my body, which I cannot smell myself. I often told my parents about it, but they said I didn’t have any particular scent. Later, when I went for training, I didn’t think it had a significant impact on me, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.
Sometimes, people would spit or burp near me, but those who disliked me would say I didn’t have any scent. After I got married, my husband and child also said they couldn’t smell anything. So, I never really cared about it. Now, I run my own small business and have a shop. Whenever someone enters the room, they start coughing, sniffling, and say the smell is strong. When I ask them what the smell is like, they can’t describe it.
What illness could this be? I once had a gynecological examination, and the doctor said it would be impossible for the odor to be so strong as to affect an entire room. I also had a thorough hair examination, and the doctor said there was no odor in my armpits. Now, I’m completely fed up.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you. Based on your test results and ultrasound findings, it appears you only have mild vaginitis. According to your condition, it's recommended to check if you have axillary hyperhidrosis, also known as body odor. The report shows mild vaginitis, so it's advised to pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene, changing underwear frequently, and keeping clean. Also, focus on exercising to boost your immunity, cleaning the external genital area, and keeping it hygienic. Try to distract yourself a bit.
