Anosmia and Loss of Smell: Causes, Treatments and Nose Anatomy

Learn more about Anosmia (Loss of Smell) in this educational video with Dr. Pasha. Smell (olfactory) disorders can present in many forms: complete loss (anosmia), reduced loss (hyposmia), or change in smell (parosmia or phantosmia). All forms can be quite debilitating and affect 6 million people in the U.S. You’d be surprised how your sense of smell is directly connected to your sense of taste. 80% of taste disorders (ageusia) are from an impaired sense of smell. When you eat, special chemical substances called aromatics are released and travel from the back of your throat up to your nose. These aromatics stimulate your nose and, coupled with your taste buds, determine how you perceive food. In Dr. Pasha’s clinic, several steps are required in the work-up of olfactory issues to formulate a treatment plan, including nasal endoscopy (a painless microscopic evaluation of the nose), allergy testing, and a CT scan (X-ray). All tests can be performed in the office. For those who have long-standing loss of smell, olfactory training (or smell training) may be beneficial. Dr. Pasha has his own olfactory training regimen that he may provide for you. The future of anosmia management is growing and includes stem cell research and even gene therapy for some congenital causes. ➜ Learn more about anosmia and loss of smell: https://breathefreely.com/education-l... ➜ Schedule an Appointment: https://breathefreely.com/schedule-an... __________________________________________________ ➜ WATCH Snoring & Sleep Apnea:    • Snoring & Sleep Apnea   ➜ WATCH Balloon Procedures:    • Balloon Procedures   __________________________________________________ ➜ CONTACT US: (713) 523-8800 http://breathefreely.com/ ➜ FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS: Facebook:   / pashabreathefreely   Twitter:   / snoringandsinus   Instagram:   / pashasnoringandsinus   Blog: https://breathefreely.com/category/blog/ #DrPasha #Anosmia #ENTdoctor
