Is it normal to smell something before your period?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes. Hormone changes and shifts in vaginal discharge can make your scent a little different before your period, and a mild change is usually normal.
Your hormones and vaginal discharge change throughout your cycle, so you might notice a slightly different or stronger scent before your period. A mild change is common and doesn’t mean you’re unclean—washing the outside with water is enough; avoid douching or scented products, which can irritate things.
If the smell is distinctly fishy or foul, sticks around, or comes with itching, burning, pain, or unusual discharge, it’s worth checking with a healthcare professional.
