The body undergoes myriad changes when you are in the process of menstruating. Your body chemistry changes, as does the hormonal balance of the body. The nature of bodily fluids also undergoes major changes as well.
Sometimes, the pH balance of the fluids present in the body changes to such an extent that acidity levels increase as well. And there are times when the alkaline content of your body goes up. Basically, it is not possible to determine a suitable reason for the body odor you have started to emit.
And it would be a waste of time and effort to try and isolate a reason and then set about taking care of it, the body sometimes goes through phases of hormonal changes which reverse or change with time. Some patterns last for a few years, some a few weeks. But the point is that you should not try to make changes in that area of things.
It is better if you try to take care of the odor by itself. This is a more effective method of dealing with the situation. The first thing you must know is that you smell of what you eat. If your body or menstrual blood - it is not clear which - is emitting a foul odor, examine your meals. Try to stay off strong foods for the duration of your menstrual cycle. Avoid onions, garlic, meat and eggs. Concentrate more on fresh fruits and vegetables which are not canned or processed, as the latter will contain chemicals which may add to odor. Make it a point to eat parsley, which is an excellent agent for good breath as well as body odor. You must also try to bathe twice a day during this time, as it will be of considerable help. Use talcum powder with a pleasant scent. Try not to wear polyester and nylon clothes while menstruating, as they will add to body odor. Stick to loose cottons.
