The wisdom of identifying diseases by smell and the health care of men through natural food therapy

Identifying Diseases by Smell

A normal human body generally does not have any abnormal odor. However, when a person suffers from oral or respiratory diseases, or diseases of a certain internal organ, a variety of distinctive odors may be produced. Identifying these abnormal odors can help men detect and recognize these diseases early. So, what abnormal odors are related to diseases?

Halitosis (Bad Breath): An unpleasant odor emanating from the mouth is generally seen in oral inflammation, gastritis, gastric ulcers, and other digestive tract diseases. Periodontitis, oral erosion, and food debris embedded in cavities of decayed teeth can cause putrefaction and fermentation, emitting a fishy odor. Atrophic rhinitis, sinusitis, and nasal tumors, due to local inflammation, increase secretions containing a large amount of pus, necrotic tissue, and a large number of bacteria, can emit an unpleasant odor when breathing through the nose. People with bronchiectasis have a large amount of purulent sputum, and their breath has a fishy odor. Indigestion caused by overeating or gastritis caused by unclean food can cause food to ferment in the stomach, resulting in a sour, putrid odor when belching.

Rotten apple smell. This is the odor of ketones. Normally, ketones formed in the body can be readily oxidized by tissues. However, in diabetic patients, due to various reasons such as acute infection, pancreatitis, trauma, major surgery, anesthesia, interruption or insufficient dosage of insulin therapy, or insulin resistance, there may be a relative or absolute deficiency of insulin in the body. This reduces glucose utilization, accelerates the breakdown of fats and proteins, and produces a large amount of ketones, which cannot be oxidized and excreted in time. As a result, the concentration of ketones in the blood increases significantly, leading to ketoacidosis, which results in a rotten apple smell in the breath.

Ammonia or urine odor. Patients with severe uremia, due to severe kidney damage, cannot excrete waste normally, causing the retention of nitrogenous substances and other metabolites. Blood creatinine and uremic nitrogen levels increase significantly, resulting in a distinctive ammonia or urine odor in the patient's breath.

Liver odor. Patients with severe liver damage leading to hepatic encephalopathy often have a distinctive musty odor in their breath, medically known as hepatic feces. This odor indicates severe liver dysfunction and is a sign of critical illness.

Fecal odor. Patients with vesicocolic fistulas can have feces pass through the fistula into the bladder and mix with their urine, resulting in a fecal odor in their urine. Additionally, patients with urachus-fecal fistulas or fecal incontinence can also have a foul fecal odor due to the discharge of feces from the umbilicus or the inability to control bowel movements.

Putrid, fishy odor. Patients with cystitis or purulent pyelonephritis often have a putrid, fishy odor in their urine due to the large number of bacteria present.

Garlic odor. Patients with organophosphate poisoning may have a pungent garlic odor in their breath and vomit.

Rotten cabbage odor. A deficiency of tyrosinase leads to impaired tyrosine metabolism, causing tyrosine to accumulate in the blood, resulting in a body odor similar to rotten cabbage. Patients typically experience slow growth and development and are prone to complications such as rickets, liver dysfunction, and hypoglycemia, often leading to hypoglycemic coma or seizures.
