ageusia การใช้

• The inability to taste is called ageusia.
• Major complications of the condition are chronic loss of taste ( ageusia ), chronic facial spasm, facial pain and corneal infections.
• Tissue damage to the nerves that support the tongue can cause ageusia, especially damage to the lingual nerve and the glossopharyngeal nerve.
• True ageusia is relatively rare compared to hypogeusia ( a partial loss of taste ) and dysgeusia ( a distortion or alteration of taste ).
• Dysgeusia is also often associated with ageusia, which is the complete lack of taste, and hypogeusia, which is a decrease in taste sensitivity.
• Ageusia is the loss of taste, particularly the inability to detect sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness, and umami ( meaning " pleasant / savory taste " ).
• Here are some tasty definitions : loss of the sense of taste is ageusia; decreased taste sensitivity, hypogeusia; increased sensitivity, hypergeusia; and taste sensory distortion, dysgeusia.
• Long-term effects on the respiratory system include anosmia ( inability to smell ), ageusia ( inability to taste ), inflammation, chronic infections, fibrosis, and cancer.
• The primary cause of ageusia involves damage to the lingual nerve, which receives the stimuli from taste buds for the front two-thirds of the tongue, or the glossopharyngeal nerve, which acts similarly for the back third.
• Mild inhalation exposure causes rhinorrhea ( runny nose ), sneezing, barking cough ( a harsh cough that sounds somewhat like a dog barking ), epistaxis ( nosebleed ), dyspnea ( shortness of breath ) that affects smokers and asthmatics, hoarseness that turns into toneless voice, ageusia ( loss of taste ), and anosmia ( loss of smell ); later on, sinus and nose pain develops.
