      It's great that you've already seen a doctor about this issue. It's possible that the smell is related to bacterial overgrowth in your genital area, which could be causing the ammonia-like odor.

      Here are a few suggestions that you can try:
      1. Wear cotton underwear that is breathable and absorbs moisture. This may help to reduce the odor.
      2. Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing, as this can increase moisture and create a breeding ground for bacteria.
      3. Practice good hygiene, including washing the genital area with mild soap and water and drying thoroughly afterward.
      4. Consider using a feminine wash or a pH-balanced soap to help maintain the natural balance of bacteria in the genital area.
      5. Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins from your body.

      If these measures don't improve the situation, it may be worth seeking a second opinion from another doctor or a specialist in gynecology. They may be able to perform further tests or provide additional recommendations to address the issue.

        An ammonia-like smell in your underwear could be a sign of a few different things, including:
        1. Urinary tract infection (UTI): A UTI is an infection in the urinary tract that can cause a strong, ammonia-like odor in urine and in your underwear.
        2. Bacterial vaginosis (BV): BV is a common vaginal infection that can cause a fishy odor in your underwear. In some cases, it may also cause an ammonia-like odor.
        3. Dehydration: If you are dehydrated, your urine may become concentrated, leading to a stronger odor that can be similar to ammonia.
        4. Sweat: If you have been sweating in your underwear, the moisture and bacteria can combine to create an unpleasant odor that may be similar to ammonia.

        It's important to talk to your healthcare provider if you are experiencing an ammonia-like smell in your underwear, as it could be a sign of an underlying condition that requires treatment. Your healthcare provider may perform a physical exam and order tests to determine the underlying cause of the odor and recommend appropriate treatment.
