Rules for the prevention of smell loss
As a rule, the main reason for the loss of smell is a launched disease of the nasal cavity that flows into a chronic form. To avoid the deterioration of the functioning of the nasal receptors, you need to adhere to the following recommendations:
- Do not delay with the treatment of diseases of the nasal sinuses, which lead to a long-term edema of mucous membranes.
- If you have chronic runny nose, it is necessary to carry out the hygienic procedures for nasal moves. For example, to carry out washing with the help of therapeutic herb beams or saline solutions.

During the colds, almost, each person has a rhinitis, which contributes to the emergence of an unpleasant complication in the form of loss of taste and smell. In patients with such a manifestation, irritability appears, since the full functioning of the body is broken and the ordinary life loses paint. In order to determine the causes of this complication and respond in time, you must first understand the processes of feelings.
The special area responsible for the olfactory process is in the upper part of the nasal cavity and in its structure will significantly differ from the characteristic nasal cavity. The sensitivity of the olfactory region in each individual person is purely individual, so we determine the resistance of odor completely differently and thin notes of fragrances. Special receptors through pulses send signals characterizing molecules in the brain using ultra sensitive nerve fibers. The resulting information about the aroma of our brain analyzes and forms the definition, the identification of odors occurs automatically, and the new one, until this point, is not known, the fragrance is postponed in memory for further memorization.
Human language is a specific field of the smallest taste of receptors, which are responsible for analyzing objects for the presence of one of the most important significant feelings - taste. There is such a complex identification process due to tiny papillas, which can be viewed with a naked eye on the surface of the language. Another school rate of biology says that the language has several areas, each of which is responsible for recognizing only one of the four probable tastes.
Understanding the mechanism for determining taste and olfactory sensations will help to identify the main cause of violation of perception. The emergence of deviations of the normal functioning of the body of taste and smell says about failure and requires immediate treatment.
Language zoning
- For the recognition of the sweet taste, only the tip is responsible from the entire surface of this organ, the other zone does not exist for this action.
- A little further, on parts located on the sides, there are receptors, thanks to which we define salty products.
- Over the area of \u200b\u200bsalty flavors is the side part of the language, which is needed to identify acidic flavors.
- The root of the language, or rather, the receptors located on it are responsible for the recognition of bitterness - the fourth taste, which our body is able to feel.
This incredibly complex and confusing flavor gamma is countless of real world products and dishes formed due to the mixing of only four flavors. Each separate person feels the taste of one and the same food completely differently. There are exceptions to the rule - these are people with a particularly subtle taste and an olfactory feeling.
The newest studies in the field of human sensitivity to confirm a significant deterioration in the sensitivity of taste and olfactory receptors over time and an increase in human age. Mainly, such a process is associated with imminent aging and wear of all organs, but the likelihood of complications due to the suffering diseases, one of which will be.
To determine the root causes of violation of taste processes, it is necessary to know which parts are responsible for recognition. This will help identify the nature of the disease.
Why disappears smelling and taste
Often people with colds, especially in the seasons of exacerbation, note violation of olfactory and taste processes in the body. The lack of elementary knowledge about such a phenomenon scares many. Therefore, the impression of therapy should be dealt with for the reasons:
- At the first manifestations of colds, the nasal sinuses activate the active development of a special mucus, the appointment of which is the fight against malaise, not allowing the penetration of infection into the body. Unfortunately, it is possible for her not in all cases. In a particular case, the runny nose directly swelling of the mucous membrane overlaps the region of the sense of smell. After conducting therapeutic measures, the nasal mucosa is normalized, and the olfactory region restores its functional purpose.
- Well known to have a rather negative impact on the complex process of olfactory perception. The effect of this drug is based on a narrowing vessels of action, therefore constant and uncontrolled use causes dysfunction of the muscular wall of the vessels. They stop fulfilling their functional activity, in fact, therefore, the swelling of the mucous member does not pass even after recovery. Most people naively believe that the action of such medications is absolutely safe, although pharmaceutical companies often warn about the similar effect.
- One of the common causes of infringement of the sense of smell is. The principle of operation is similar to the previous one: but the regular effect of allergen does not disappear without a trace. Disconnecting the smell function, the body throws all the strength to fight the stimulus.
- Disorder of the perception of taste and odor may be provoked by mechanical damage to the mucous membrane of the nose and pharynx.
- Some disorders of the central nervous system can be the most serious cause of the evaluation of the smell. In this case, when the first signs of such diseases are manifested, it is necessary to undergo a survey.
For nervous disorders, a manifestation of several types of loss of sensations is characterized:
- Anosmia.For this disorder, the complete loss of sensitivity of the olfactory region is characteristic. The reason can be a complication after influenza and ARVI or transferred stroke, as well as violations of the central nervous system.
- . It is rather perverted perception of smells. It is characterized by incorrect reception received information. Most frequent cause The appearance of this species is the tumor formation of the olfactory region.
- Hyposmia. It is characterized by a violation of sensitivity and perception of odors. Exactly this symptom Appears after a runny nose and colds. Often, such a disorder is observed in people with chronic diseases Nasophacks.
Undoubtedly, it is necessary to identify the cause of violations for the preparation of the overall picture and the appointment of treatment. To date, specialists know many factors, and for each individual case there is a method of therapy.
