What Causes Hyperosmia During Menopausal?

Hi, I am a 50 year old menopausal women but otherwise healthy. My sense of smell has gotten very intense lately and I seem to be able to smell things others can t. Sometimes scents get stuck in my nose and can linger for days. Any suggestions for dealing with this issue? I fear I am driving my family crazy!

Hi there, I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

Please do not panic.

Abnormal smell sensation can be due to various factors.
It can be due to trauma in the region of eye and nose, viral infection, nasal polyps or tomorrow, some age related neurological changes..

If you do not have reasons like trauma or infection in the recent past then please seek advice from expert neurologist.

As far as your menopause and related issues are concerned I will suggest you to use capsule of phytoestrogens on daily basis for 6 months. Opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
