Spironolactone has saved my life!!!! I'm in perimenopause. Before my diagnosis, I started noticing a horrible body odor despite great hygiene. My gyno mentioned HRT but I was scared because of the alleged connection to cancer. Because I couldn't get a quick appoint to see the gyno due to the worsening sweating, body odor, etc, I scheduled an appointment with my family doctor. I am so glad I did. She put me on 100mg of Spironolactone. I've only been on it for one week and WOW what a difference. Not only has it ALREADY improved the body odor, I feel more energetic and happier. This stuff is so amazing!!!! Body Odor has made my life miserable. I spent so much money on expensive soaps, deodorants, body sprays, vitamins, cleanses, etc. I was too embarrassed to go out in public so I started working from home. It was like I was hiding from the world. My self-esteem had gotten so low. I was almost suicidal because of this whole ordeal. I'm finally hopeful. I feel like a human being again. I do want to add that I also take women's probiotics at night before bed and I also use boric acid vaginal suppositories at bedtime. If you are suffering from B.O despite proper hygiene, please give Spiro a try. And I do not have any side effects. I do drink more water since it is a diuretic so that I don't become dehydrated

Let me first give this disclaimer: wetness was NEVER an issue for me. only odor. Despite what people say about wetness and body odor this was simply not the case for me as I was bone dry but still stinky. here goes ---------- For people suffering from apocrine gland bromhidrosis, please look into spironolactone. I am completely cured of what plagued my body for 10 years. I smelled like an onion under my arms and in my groin NO MATTER WHAT I tried. Only someone with this problem can understand what I mean when I say I tried everything. I won't even go through the list because i would be here typing all night but whatever you can think of I tried to no avail. I spent thousands of dollars on procedures that slightly reduced my problem but didn't fix it. It still wasn't livable. My problem was NOT bacteria related regardless of what the web or doctors say about body odor.alcohol, antibacterial soaps, tea tree oil etc didn't work. I had no social life and low low self esteem.Please please please look into spironolactone. Testosterone is what activates apocrine glands to secrete and in my case, The sweat produced by glands were smelly. Spironolactone blocks the testosterone and therefore stops the smelly problem that me and many others are suffering from. I have been to specialists, dermatologists, tried topical antibiotics, prescription deodorant, crystals, miradry, detoxes/cleanses and so much more! Changed my diet. I even went raw and nothing! Became vegetarian and all. It was so much guys. I feel like I owe this to the community that was suffering with me. I remember not wanting to live anymore. If this can save anyone I would be happy. There are side effects and there is a disclaimer for men and pregnant women but please you guys. This isn't a gimmick. I researched for months trying to figure out what could cure my problem. Having a science/biological educational and career background was helpful in my search. I also wanted to wait a little bit to be sure that this is something that works and didn't want to get anyone's hopes up. Here I am a month and half on the meds and I'm odorless. I love all of you guys and I wish you all the best. Please just look into it, it has changed my life. AIso I know this will help someone. I just know it will. I remember the anxiety my body odor caused. I remember the depression. I remember dropping out of college. I remember my mom asking me about children and me telling her that I would never have a baby because I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I passed this problem to my children. I wouldn't wish this problem on my worst enemy so now maybe one can get an idea of how bad this was for me. Definitely wasnt just in my head either because people began to talk. Fast forward to today. I cried when it began to work. I get emotional because My problem is gone! I had surgeries all kinds of procedures. Even considered skin grafts to remove those glands. I don't want anyone to have to suffer like I did. Please Consider.

I had the exact same problem as you, Kia. Spironolactone saved my life. It's only been a month since I've started and the change is drastic. I go back to my Dr for a one-month f/u Friday and I am so anxious to give her an update and thank her.

Hi Kia and all others that are taking spiro. I’m currently taking 25mg daily and I wanted to know how long were you guys taking it before noticing a difference.
I’m getting discouraged that it isn’t working but I’ve only been taking it for a week now.

Hi Kia, Is your bromhidrosis genetic?
