Claims this source supports

• Since estrogen and progesterone protect olfactory function, changes in their levels during physiological states such as pregnancy and menopause can influence the ability to feel and recognize smells (PMID 12584889).
• Olfactory perception can be altered in postmenopause; hormonal status is one factor in how women experience smell.
