Body Odor During Menopause: Causes and Effective Help

During menopause, the interplay of hormones changes. Many women experience hot flashes, bouts of sweating, or night sweats and simultaneously notice that they smell different or more intense than before. Body odor during menopause is therefore not uncommon—and not a sign of poor hygiene. In most cases, the change can be explained by increased sweat, damp clothing, and the natural breakdown of skin secretions by bacteria. However, an unusual odor can also have other causes.
