Hello,
* As per my surgical experience, post-hysterectomy body odor sounds to be from various reasons as
- hormone alteration
- metabolic changes secondary to body changes
- the medication-induced effect over sweat glands
- others
* Must discuss the same with treating surgeon for best possible cause evaluation and guidelines ahead.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
