I’m 19 years old and I sweat during sleep I wake up smelly. Is this because of low testosterone?

Question

Dear lybrte user, sweating during sleep and waking up smelly is your problem---there is little evidence to say that this is due to low testosterone --except --may be due to mental and physical stress due to low teststerone and it's effects like sexual problems. The smell may be due to alcohol consumption ;taking spicy diet with onion ,garlic etc ; heavy non-veg diet with meat and egg etc ;plenty of coffee etc------just before sleeping. During sleep -sweat accumulate in armpits; groin etc and the bacteria present there will multiply in the sweat collection -----excess sweating can be due to hyperhidrosis or associated with diabetes ;hyperthyroidism ;over anxiety states etc. Check-up by doctor with investigations for above diseases and treatment is recommended. Antiperspirants; deodorants ; anti bacterial soaps etc may be of some benefit temporarily.----ok.
