How does progesterone affect the senses of taste and smell and what mechanisms might explain changes in sensory perception during progesterone therapy?
Progesterone can alter taste and smell by affecting the central nervous system and hormonal pathways, potentially heightening sensitivity during therapy.
Progesterone can enhance the sensitivity of smell and taste receptors, potentially due to its effects on estrogen levels which are known to influence these senses.
