It is when your body has an offensive odor. Usually it is because of sweat, chemicals released by the body, bacteria, dirty clothes, and dirt. In healthy persons, it means they need to shower or bathe, change clothes, and wear deodorant. However, it can also be a sign of disease. Vaginal odor may mean you have a yeast infection. Flatulence (offensive discharge of gas through the large intestine and out the anus) can be caused by indigestion or bad diet. Some medications may increase body odor. An odor coming from the feet that smells a bit like "dog food" could indicate a fungal infection.
