Vaginal dryness and changes can sometimes cause a funny smell, as can the increase in sweat production.
Have you considered a dose of hormone replacement therapy? You could take it for a short time, just to get past the roughest parts of menopause.
Some doctors also treat women with low doses of anti depressants, which also seems to help with hot flashes, sweating, and general feelings of "BLAH"..... I wanted to mention anti depressants just in case maybe hormone replacement therapy is not somehting you want to do. Some women find relief with supplements for menopause, like the one you see at wal mart "Remifemin" is one "Premphase" is another I believe. I don't typically advocate herbal usages since they can be ineffective, but women do seemt o get relief with these. |
