Why do pregnant women always feel their feet stink?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

"Foot odor" is caused by the overactive secretion of the body's eccrine glands. The secretions of these glands are broken down by bacteria and fungi, producing foul odors. Sweating promotes the easy reproduction of bacteria, which is why foot odor is often accompanied by hyperhidrosis.
