Steroids and increased Body Odor

[that guy1234]

So in the gym tonight I started to smell piss(urine). I was so confused and looking around for the scrub. I found nothing. On my way home I still smelled it. I have never experienced anything like this before, so I googled "sweat smells like urine" and this is what I came up with.

It doesn't mean your kidneys are bad, nor does it have any bad implications. This particular scent of perspiration is fairly common, actually, and I'm shocked you didn'y find evidence to that online. I'll give you the textbook answer now:
he sweat contains steroid compounds, especially the 16-androstenes — these are particularly profuse in the sweat produced by the groin and armpits. Once bacteria have acted on the sweat they break it down and that gives it its individual smell.

The more androstene that a person’s sweat contains, the greater the potential for him or her to be strong smelling. It has been found that two of the 16-androstene compounds are important in this respect. If there is a predominance of androstenol, the sweat from the armpits and kindred areas tends to smell markedly musky; if there is a predominance of androstenone, the sweat develops an obvious smell of urine. There is another compound that sometimes gives rise to the slightly acrid sweaty armpit smell that can be differentiated from either the musky or uriniferous smelling sweat of the skin of the erogenous areas.


I am sharing this in case anyone has had this, does have this or will have this.

I've never noticed this. But then again my sense of smell is poor..........

[MickeyKnox]

first thing i notice is my urine has a strong smell..i think it has somehting to do with the metabolites..but don't quote me

[songdog]

Yeah I know wat your talking about.My wife will not come near me until I shower.

[Atomini]

It is possible in some individuals. Others may not experience this.

this is actually quite common and not something to stress over, just have a hot and cold shower and start over. anyone that has ever experimented with pheromone sprays is using a synthetic version of this in order to attract female attention so it's not all bad, it just needs to be controlled. pregnant women will most likely give you the most adverse reaction.

I never thought of this until I just read it -- but it must be true for some. At my heaviest - 355 - I NEVER smelled at all. NEVER EVER used deoderant. ANd im a strip club DJ so trust me people would tell me if smelled lol --- but now that i am much thinner and in shape ( but after AAS) I now have to use it like 3 or 4 days a week. I can smell myself! lol

I have never encountered this but I certainly do sweat exponentially more during cycles. I don't know if water intake might help reduce the odor in anyway by diluting the compounds in your perspiration.

Keeps people away while I'm trying to get in a good workout........LOL

[evander87]

Interesting. I do notice I have a stronger "scent" when I'm cycling but I always thought it was because of my increase in protein intake.

[ScotchGuard02]

Hmmm... I've never experience this. I've noticed I sweat more during cycle.

[stpete]

Nothing here but i do sweat like crazy while "on."

use what every 3 or 4 days?

deoderant?

[noon]

Lol never..
it happens to me I find that if I drink more water it helps dilute it
