Disorders of the adrenal gland can cause body odor. These would include problems like diabetes, thyroid problems, kidney problems, and problems related to water/salt imbalance, and disorders of sex hormones. I recommend that you see an Internal Medicine physician for a complete medical history and physical exam. Good luck!
