Bad body odor

Question:

 

Is it part of menopause to have BO (body odor) in your underarms?

Answer:

 

We don’t know – maybe? It’s not a common side effect, but irregularity in hormones can lead to acne and hair in unexpected places. It seems reasonable to think body odor might also be affected. But if you’re concerned, by all means speak with a physician.
