A member asked:
Is it true that the natural scent of a woman's vagina change as she ages and goes through perimenopause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It's all about hormone level, ph, and the resulting bacterial balance. Age influences both. With menopause, the estrogen levels drop and the vagina gets less moist and more prone to infection, which can affect odor.
