Also, the presence of a foul odor is NOT a normal occurrence during menstruation, and definitely needs to be brought to a healthcare provider's attention.

From what I've noticed, the odor is always a bit stronger during menstruation.
Some people just have a naturally stronger odor on normal days that gets even stronger on those special days... maybe that's what they are picking up?

The awareness of excess odor can lead women to be self-conscious about it and flat out refuse any interaction during those days... Some may only restrict interaction that results in bloodied clothes (not just bedclothes).
It's down to personal choice, I guess...
