Is there a relationship between bad breath and armpit odor?

Patient's question:

Doctor, because my armpits tend to sweat easily, so whenever it's summer or the weather is hot, I get body odor. But recently, my friend also told me that I have bad breath. How are bad breath and body odor related? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Halitosis and axillary odor should have no direct relationship with each other. Halitosis is primarily caused by issues with the digestive tract, such as poor diet or reduced absorption capacity. Most cases can be stabilized through dietary adjustments and medication. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits while avoiding high-protein foods. Additionally, regular physical activity is important. Consider taking enzyme supplements like Polyenzyme Tablets or Lactase to aid digestion, which can help stabilize halitosis symptoms.
