Loss of smell :

When an individual loses the ability to detect odours in their surroundings, it is said that they have loss of smell. The medical term for this condition is anosmia and it usually develops temporarily when an individual has a cold or sinus infection. It is normal to lose the sense of smell as the body ages. A traumatic brain injury can also cause loss of smell.

An ENT doctor can determine whether an individual has anosmia by inquiring about the patient's concerns and doing an odour detection test. The test requires the patient to attempt identifying different odours. The doctor keeps diluting the odours until the patient is unable to identify them. The doctor may also order tests like CT scan and MRI scan to determine the underlying cause.

Loss of smell is treated by treating the underlying cause. The treatment may involve medications to treat issues like sinusitis and cold. It may also involve the surgical treatment of problems like a deviated septum and nasal polyps.
