Smell different or more sweaty smell after surgery?!

[Apprentice_Hag]

hi there! I had surgery at the end of Feb and I’ve noticed ever since that my armpit sweat smells different ?! I feel like I smell more?! My friends and husband say they can’t smell it but I can and I’m paranoid. I’m just wondering if anyone has had this after their surgery or if it might be something else causing it.

Oh my god I've noticed this!! I thought I was going crazy because when I asked nobody could smell it. Unless they were being very polite... Since my op I've felt like I'm sweating more and it does smell. This definitely didn't happen after my first operation. Very strange!

Wow. Same. I keep thinking my deodorant has failed. I feel like I can’t get clean. I didn’t make the connection with surgery as it didn’t happen straight away. I thought it was hormonal in some way.
