Having Pre Menopause Symptoms, Hot Flashes, Mood Swings, Body Odor. Which Soap, Deodorant, Detergents To Use?
Yes, Dr. Grief. I am a 41 year old female who is experiencing prementopause symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, weird body odor which is very embarrassing. I have tried 3 to 4 different soaps, changed laundry detergents and deodorants. I am in need of serious help. Can you help me by telling me what type of soap, deodorant and laundry detergent to use daily. And is there any medicine you would recommend?
If you are having mild vulvar irritation or discomfort, the first thing to do is stop using soap on the inner parts of the vulva—clean water is perfectly adequate. Also, use only white unscented toilet paper, wash your underwear in detergents without dyes and perfumes, and discontinue using fabric softeners and anti-cling laundry products. Avoid using lotions and perfumed products on the inner vulva as well.
Please consult your gynecologist for prescription medications which can be given after examining you clinically.
Hope this helps
