Are there internal problems that cause life-long body odor?

Life long body odour is something that is hard to diagnose without further information. Some foods such as onions, garlic and cabbage can cause faint smells, but this is more on your clothes, breath and from flatulance. Some people have medical conditions, such as diabetes, which change the chemical makeup of your body and cause it to smell different. Most "bad" body odour is caused from bacteria which lives on your skin. I would suggest you speak to your pharmacist about some soap products.

Why is there smell in your menstrual blood?

Vaginal scent is a result of bacteria within the vagina. The vagina is naturally acidic to maintain a healthy balance of 'good' and 'bad' bacteria - these bacteria help keep your vagina healthy and clean. Throughout your menstrual cycle hormonal changes effect your vaginal pH so effecting vaginal bacteria and in turn effecting vaginal scent. During menstruation as well as changes to your hormones the blood itself effects vaginal pH - also blood has a slightly metalic scent to it, and it's nutritious so creates a favourable environment for certain bacteria. Flora changes so scent changes. What sanitary products you use makes a huge difference too. Tampons keep menstrual flow within the body so it cannot be smelled during use, however after use tampons can cause bad odour because they give bacteria the perfect environment to multiply upon and by keeping blood in contact with the vagina they have a larger effect on vaginal pH. Commercial pads, for example Always or Kotex, can also cause more odour by preventing menstrual blood from drying, creating a warm moist environment for bacteria to thrive, and chemicals in these types of pads can themselves cause bad odour.
