Anyone notice a change in the smell of their sweat during perimenopause? How would you describe it?
@mayintoronto @Cassandra I read that sweat from stress smells the most potent, but I’m guessing they haven’t done too much testing about menopausal people and sweat.
I know someone who said their sweat changed smell during perimenopause. They found it really hard to adapt to given they are already sensitive to smells with the intensity of an autistic person.
@stephaniepixie @mayintoronto I think what I’m noticing is from regular sweating, not stress sweating, but it’s definitely more potent than I used to notice my sweat smell being. But it’s alarming enough I worry it could be a medical issue, not just a perimenopausal change. So I thought I would ask the hivemind…
@Cassandra @stephaniepixie @mayintoronto I dunno if it’s perimenopause but my mid-40s armpits have not been kind to me lately
@Cassandra I get a stinky sweat when I'm stressed. Is that what it is?
