If in doubt, do not hesitate to make an appointment with your doctor.
This disease, of its scientific name Trimethylamury (TMAU) is a rare metabolic disease, which particularly affects women. As Live Science relays, it is proven that certain female sex hormones (progesterone for example), can worsen symptoms.
An enzymatic process that does not occur
Trimethylamine is a chemical produced by intestinal bacteria from the digestion of certain foods, such as legumes, calmar, crab, certain fish … For most individuals, an enzymatic process makes it possible to make the trimethylamine in an underdeveloped chemical but for those with TMAU, this process does not occur.
As the Swiss medical journal (RMS) relays, the smell of fish is present in the sweat and in the custom of the individual. It can also be exacerbated after ingestion of certain foods. Although syndrome symptoms can smile, the patients' mental health disease should not be underestimated.
Do not underestimate the effects on mental health
Indeed, the specialized journal explains that individuals with Trimethylamury (TMAU) fear nothing from a medical point of view, but may suffer from social isolation, depression or even attempted suicide. In addition, because of the feeling of shame, it is believed that several patients do not dare to consult a doctor.
This is one of the reasons why estimates in the number of cases in the world vary considerably, ranging from 1 out of one million to 1 in 200,000 people. Unfortunately, there is no curative treatment at present, indicates the RMS.
Consequently, for the patient to have better living conditions, the review recommends using an acid pH soap, to follow a precise diet or to take daily carbon daily.
