I am a 27yr old female.I've been having a very embarrassing condition for more than 8 years. and
is a strange disease. I didn't call it a disease because the few
doctors I have seen about this problem could not tell what it was or tell me that i'm crazy.
Ifeel it is the strange
Body Odor which someone has describe as wet smelly feet/clean sweat smell everytime after i sit on my ass for any amount of time, several hours to a few minutes.Even if i shower and use perfume then go to class and sit for 50 minutes the smell is still there..The smell is with me all the time everyday after sitting..People who sit by me often think that I have farted on myself but It is not fart because I will not have any sensation whenit happens.
Fart means we will have a sensation. Because of this embarrassing smell, I have been trying to
avoid being close to other people when i can do so.I only go to school and work where i have to sit alot throughout a day but other then that i avoid social activities where i have to sit down around near people..I don't have a social life..I don't go to the movies,dinner,church..etc..I've told my family but they all say they never smell anything when i'm around but when i'm at school or at work i get rude comments and harassment from people.
I know it is not BO but something much worse
because it is out of my control. It would be so embarrassing. I have
seen a gastroenterologist also, they thought what I am suffering is a
strange problem and had a colonoscopy. Nothing has found in the tests except for 3 internal hemhroids that were treated.I have been ruled by my doctor as someone with very good health..i don't smoke or drink, i excercise occassional and have good hygiene and eat healthy. i have food sensitives so i stay away from sugary things, fast food and etc..The only health problem i have is occasional anemia and external hemhroids and
Another relevant factor is that I
always have a light burning feeling in my rectum/anus area (though my
doctor told me I have hemorrhoids) whenever the smell is present. whenever i sit i feel like i'm sitting on a hard mass but my doctor assured me that it is just the external hemhroids that i am feeling but i am not convinced..Something is very wrong.
It is not life threatening, but it's so embarrassing and annoying that I would rather have a life threatening disease. I would like to know whether you guys have any info on this disease. I have become a total outcast because of this problem, i get harassed at school and work and my reputation has been destroyed. I feel inflammation
around my rectal area. Also it will be more whenever I sit
on any chair at office or sit in my car etc. If this disease bothersme alone, I would not have cared that much. But that odor isbothering too much even for others.
I have also found that smell comes
very often when I am under stress like if going to socialize or say ifI am meeting some new people or work pressure. This illness is leaving me restless and sick. And I can't socialize or do anything. It makes
me like real sick. Every doctor says there is nothing but I do feelthat some smell is coming out on which I don't have any control. I can feel the smell when I am going in a car. I can feel it but I have no clue how it's coming out. I am not passing any gas and that I am
100% sure. I am not sure whether the smell is related to theinflammation or not, but it makes me real sick and losing interest onlife some times.
If any of you can help me with any information I will
be more than grateful to you.
