Is it normal to smell before your period?

Yes, it’s normal for your scent to change a little before your period. A strong fishy or foul smell, especially with itching, burning, or unusual discharge, is worth getting checked.
Your hormones shift before your period, and that can change vaginal discharge and body odor a bit. You might notice a mild musky or tangy scent, and that doesn’t automatically mean anything is wrong.
A strong fishy or foul smell isn’t a typical period-related change, particularly if you also have itching, burning, pain, or unusual discharge. If that’s happening, get it checked rather than trying to cover it up with scented products.
