Re: Changes and ?maybe? loss of estrogen?
I'm not sure what the cause is for it.
I know that the overall lubrication from top to bottom lessened quite obviously immediately for me upon chemopause (skin drier, hair drier, eyes drier, ear wax less, vagina drier, etc.) My thought is that the taste buds also became less able to conduct taste for the same reason, just by being drier from the loss of the estrogenic lubrication. I wondered how common it might be, or not, for others.
