How to prevent body odor from being passed on to children

One of the most embarrassing diseases in life is body odor. Many patients with body odor will be isolated and ridiculed by others because of their body odor. Therefore, many married patients with body odor are very afraid that their children will inherit body odor and suffer from rumors because of body odor, so they dare not have children. So, how can we prevent body odor from being passed down to our children?

1. Body odor is heritable and is inherited through genes. Therefore, with the current medical level, it is only possible to cure one's own body odor, but it cannot prevent it from being passed on to future generations. Patients should pay attention to skin hygiene, take a bath frequently, wash clothes frequently, keep the skin dry and clean, and minimize sweat secretion; minimally invasive surgery can be performed when necessary.

2. Probability of inheritance of body odor

Scientific research has found that body odor is a genetic disease, and it is dominant. The following situations can explain whether it is passed on to the next generation:

1. If both parents have body odor and the mother is a carrier of the bromhidrosis-causing gene, then the female offspring will have a 50% disease rate, 93.8% of females will carry the disease-causing gene, and 50% of males will have the disease. Those who are not sick do not carry the disease-causing gene.

2. If the father has body odor and the mother is normal, the female offspring will not be sick. Females carry 50% of the disease-causing genes, while males are not sick and do not carry the gene.

3. If both parents have body odor and the mother is a homozygous fetus, the prevalence of the disease in the offspring, whether male or female, is 98.7%.

4. If the father does not have body odor and the mother is a carrier of the gene that causes body odor, then the female offspring will not be sick, the probability of carrying the gene is 50%, and the male offspring will have a 50% chance of getting sick.

5. If the father has no body odor and the mother is homozygous for body odor, the female offspring will not be affected by the disease. 92.1% of females carry the disease-causing gene, while 96.7% of males will be affected.

6. If the children do not inherit the disease, their offspring will no longer suffer from body odor. If one parent has body odor, the incidence rate among children is over 50%, and if both parents have body odor, the incidence rate reaches 80%.
