Does Anyone Experience Very Little Heat Tolerance And Hot Flashes?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I have hyperandrogenism (excessive male hormones) per my doctor which causes excessive sweating and hormonal body odor. I am a very hygienic person. I bathe daily and stuff, but it feels like no amount of antibacterial soap, antiperspirant/deodorant is enough to curb the smell. By midday, i find my body acting up. Detox pills, ACV have also been no help. It's so embarrassing and it feels like i have no control over my body. I'd do anything to find a cure. Any suggestions highly appreciated.

PCOS+Heat

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I don’t know about y’all, but my body is so sensitive to heat during the summer because of PCOS. This makes me sweat more than usual, and I feel like I smell by the end of the day because of the sweat. Does anyone experience the same and have product recommendations for excess sweat? Specifically for the inner thigh, armpit, and under-boob areas?
