When I am having a hot flush, I can sometimes smell the sweat on my body but no one else can. Is this normal?

An enhanced sense of smell is sometimes associated with hormonal changes during the menopause, which can make you become much more aware of your own body smells.

Very often, you might be the only one to smell this. So if you start to find that you're getting a bit worried about smelling, maybe ask your nearest and dearest if they can smell you too. If you can't, then you know that it's just your nose being that little bit more sensitive.

If you are starting to smell more, I recommend using a nice natural deodorant instead of an antiperspirant. This can very often make a huge amount of difference because you are allowing the underarms to breathe, to sweat properly, and that in turn can very often help to control the level of bacteria under your arms that tend to cause all the different smells.

You can also use Menoforce Sage to more directly target the flushes.

I hope this helps.
