During perimenopause, some individuals experience a heightened sense of smell, leading to discomfort around typical human scents. This change can strain personal relationships, particularly in romantic contexts. While some people report a general decline in their sense of smell, others face heightened sensitivity, causing aversions to normal odors. Traditional remedies, such as increased hygiene or scented products, may not resolve the issue. Seeking medical advice for these hormonal changes is advisable, yet solutions remain limited due to the lack of understanding surrounding menopause-related symptoms.
