Imajin yu waka insay di kichin ɛn smɛl wan fayn fayn mit kɔri... bɔt yu nɔ ebul fɔ smɛl am? Ɔ yu fav sɛnt? Yu dɔn ɛva gɛt ɛkspiriɛns lɛk dis? Sɔmtɛm dis na nɔmal tin fɔ kol, bɔt sɔmtɛm e kin bi sɔntin fɔ wɔri bɔt smɔl. Tide wi de tɔk bɔt dis kɔndishɔn fɔ lɔs di sɛns fɔ smɛl, fɔ tɔk bɔt mɛrɛsin, anosmia.
Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, aw wi kin smɛl?
Dis na tin we rili wɔndaful. Lɛ wi ɔndastand dis simpul wan.
Imajin sɔntin we de smɛl lɛk flawa. dis de mek sכm sכm "sεnt patikyula dεm" we di yay nכ de si. We wi de blo, dɛn tin ya kin go insay wi nos. na di tכp pat pan di nos, rili spεshal kayn sεl dεm de. wi kכl dεn ya ``olfactory sensory neurons.'' dεn ya lεk sכm sכm sεns dεm we de no smεl dεm.
We dɛn sɛnt mɔlyul ya kɔnɛkt to dɛn sɛl dɛn de, dɛn sɛl dɛn de kin sɛn signal dairekt to wi bren. "Na dis smel de kam." Dɔn di bren de disayd if na "dis na di smel fɔ flawa," "dis na di smel fɔ fayn it," ɔ "dis na smel we nɔ fayn" ɛn tɛl wi. Ɔl dis kin apin insay smɔl sɛkɔn dɛn. Yu nɔ tink se i wɔndaful?
Wetin na di sayn dɛm wae de sho se yu nɔr de smɛl?
Di men tin bɔt dis na dat i nɔ de smɛl atɔl. Fɔ sɔm pipul dɛn, dis kin apin wantɛm wantɛm . Fɔ ɛgzampul, yu de smɛl fayn tide, bɔt we yu wek tumara mɔnin, yu nɔ de smɛl atɔl.
Fɔ ɔda pipul dɛn, dis kin apin smɔl smɔl . Yu go notis fɔs se di sɛnt we yu kin yuz bɔku tɛm nɔ kin smɛl lɛk aw i bin de smɛl trade. Ɔ yu go notis se di smel we it de smɛl nɔ kin notis. Dis kin bi di fɔs sayn.
Wetin mek di smel bad so? Wetin na di rizin dɛn?
Nɔto wan rizin nɔmɔ de fɔ mek i nɔ de smɛl igen, bɔku rizin dɛn kin de. Sɔm na rizin dɛn we rili simpul, we kin de fɔ shɔt tɛm. Sɔm kin bi sayn dɛm fɔ mɔr siriɔs mɛrɛsin. Lɛ wi sheb dɛn rizin ya to tu kategori.
1. Kɔndishɔn dɛn we de blok di nos ɔ afɛkt di nos
Dis na di rizin dɛn we wi kin si mɔ. if di smel mכlikul dεm nכ ebul fכ rich to di sεl dεm we de sεnd signal to di bren, wi nכ kin smεl. I tan lɛk se trafik jam.
| Rizin | Wan simpul ɛksplen |
|---|---|
| Kol ɛn influenza | we yu nos blok εn fulכp wit mכkus, di pat dεm we de smεl nכ kin travul כl di we כp yu nos. Dis go bɛtɛ insay sɔm dez. |

2. Kכndishכn dεm we de afekt di olfactory nerves כ di bren
Sɔntɛnde, ivin if yu nos fayn, yu kin lɔs yu sɛns fɔ smɛl if di smel sɛl dɛn, di nerve pathways frɔm dɛn sɛl dɛn de to di bren, ɔ di bren sɛf damej. Bɔku tɛm, dɛn tin ya nɔ kin rili siriɔs.
- Traumatik Bren Injury: If yu nak yu ed pan aksidɛnt, di nerv dɛm we gɛt fɔ du wit yu sɛns fɔ smɛl kin pwɛl.
- Alzaima sik ɛn Pakinsin sik: We yu nɔ de smɛl, i kin bi wan fɔs sayn fɔ sik dɛn we de afɛkt di nervɔs sistɛm.
- Bren Tumɔs: If tumbu kam na di pat dɛm na di bren we gɛt fɔ du wit smɛl, i kin ambɔg di sɛns fɔ smɛl.
- Ɔda tin dɛn we kin apin to pɔsin: Di sik dɛn lɛk dayabitis, ay blɔd prɛshɔn, ɛn di sik we dɛn kɔl multiple sclerosis (MS) kin mek bak i nɔ ebul fɔ smɛl igen.
3. Ɔda rizin dɛn
- Sɔm mɛrɛsin dɛn: Sɔm mɛrɛsin dɛn lɛk antibayɔtik ɛn antihistamin kin mek pɔsin nɔ smɛl igen as sayd ɛfɛkt.
- Smok: Pipul dɛn we de smok kin lɔs dɛn sɛns smɔl smɔl as tɛm de go.
- We wi de ol: As wi de rich 50-60 ia, wi sɛns fɔ smɛl ɛn wok na wi bɔdi kin bigin fɔ go dɔŋ.
- Congenital Anosmia: Na smɔl tɛm nɔmɔ dɛn kin bɔn sɔm pipul dɛn we nɔ kin smɛl.
If pɔsin nɔ de smɛl igen, dat kin mek i denja?
We yu nɔ ebul fɔ smɛl, dat nɔ jɔs min se yu nɔ go ebul fɔ smɛl sɛnt, flawa, ɔ fayn it. Na sɛns bak we rili impɔtant fɔ wi sef.
Smel tan lɛk di we aw wi bɔdi de wɔn pipul dɛn.
- Di prɔblɛm we kin apin we pɔsin it it we dɔn pwɛl: Wi kin no fɔs if it dɔn pwɛl bikɔs i de smɛl. Pɔsin we nɔ gɛt sɛns fɔ smɛl kin gɛt fud pɔyzin ivin afta i it it we dɔn pwɛl.
- Nɔ ebul fɔ no faya ɔ smok: If faya de na os, na we wi smɛl sɔntin we de bɔn nɔmɔ dɛn kin wɔn wi. If wi nɔ ebul fɔ smɛl am, i kin dɔn let fɔ no di denja.
- Nɔ ebul fɔ no if gas lik ɔ kemikal: If wi smɛl gas lik na wi os, wi kin du sɔntin wantɛm wantɛm. Sɔmbɔdi wae nɔr gɛt sɛns fɔ smɛl nɔr kin ebul fɔ no dis kayn denja tin.
Aw yu go fɛn dis, Dɔktɔ?
If yu kɔntinyu fɔ gɛt prɔblɛm fɔ smɛl, yu fɔ rili go to dɔktɔ. Bɔku tɛm, dɛn go rifer yu to dɔktɔ we de mɛn yu yes, nos, ɛn trot (ENT) fɔ dɛn sik ya.
Di dɔktɔ go aks yu kwɛstyɔn dɛn fɔs:
- Frɔm ustɛm yu nɔ de smɛl?
- Dis bin apin wan tɛm ɔ smɔl smɔl?
- Ɛni ɔda sayn de (fiva, kɔf, ed we de at)?
- Yu dɔn hit yu ed ɛnisay dis biɛn tɛm?
Dɔn, i go yuz spɛshal inschrumɛnt fɔ chɛk insay yu nos fɔ chɛk if ɛnitin de ambɔg yu, lɛk pɔlip.
Apat frɔm dat, yu kin du tɛst fɔ no if yu smɛl . Dis involv fɔ lɛ yu smɛl di sɛnt fɔ difrɛn tin dɛn (e.g. kɔfi, sop, mint) ɛn aks yu fɔ no wetin dɛn bi.
Sɔntɛnde, if dɛn tink se di prɔblɛm gɛt fɔ du wit di bren, dɛn kin se dɛn fɔ du MRI ɔ CT skan .
Wetin na di tritmɛnt dɛm fɔ dis?
Di tritmɛnt fɔ anosmia de dipen dairekt pan di kɔz.
- If na bikɔs ɔf infekshɔn: If na sɔntin lɛk sayn infɛkshɔn, yu sɛns fɔ smɛl go kam bak to nɔmal wans di infekshɔn dɔn wɛl wit antibayɔtik we yu dɔktɔ dɔn tɛl yu.
- If na bikɔs ɔf alɛji: Antihistamin ɔ sprɛy na yu nos kin gi yu fridɔm.
- If na bikɔs ɔf sɔntin we de ambɔg lɛk nasal polip:Sɔntɛnde, dɛn kin kɔntrol dɛn tin ya wit mɛrɛsin. If nɔto so, if dɛn du smɔl ɔpreshɔn fɔ pul dɛn bɔdi we gɛt bɔdi, dat kin mek i ebul fɔ smɛl bak.
- If na bikɔs ɔf mɛrɛsin: If yu dɔktɔ disayd se yu nɔ de smɛl bikɔs ɔf wan mɛrɛsin we yu de tek, i go gi yu ɔda mɛrɛsin insted.
- If na bikɔs yu de smok: If yu lɛf fɔ smok, dat kin mek yu ebul fɔ smɛl bak sɔm tɛm as tɛm de go.
Bɔt, di fayn tritmɛnt fɔ di smel we pɔsin nɔ de smɛl bikɔs i dɔn ol ɔ di nyurolɔjik sik dɛn lɛk Alzaima stil nɔ de.
Sɔm kwɛstyɔn dɛn we yu go de wɔnda bak
Yu kin test we yu nɔ smɛl?
Dis na kwɛstyɔn we bɔku pipul dɛn gɛt. Di ansa na, yes, i kin te to sɔm mak. Bɔt nɔto lɛk aw i bin de du trade.
di teist bכd dεm na wi tכng kin no 5 men tεst dεm (swit, saw, sכlt, bita, εn umami). bכt wetin wi rili εkspiriεns as di "test" fכ wan it na di kכmbaynshכn fכ di tεst we wi de fil na wi tכng εn di smel we wi de fil na wi nos.
Imajin se yu de it wan pis vatalappan. Yu tong go test di swit. Bɔt if yu nos nɔ de smɛl di kadɛm ɛn natmɛk, yu nɔ go gɛt di ful "vatalappan teys" ɛkspiriɛns. I jɔs de te lɛk sɔntin we swit.
`Anosmia` ɛn `Parosmia` na tu difrɛn tin?
Yɛs. No get dis miks op.
- Anosmia: na di kɔmplit lɔs fɔ smɛl.
- Parosmia: Dis na distorted sense of smell. Dat min se, dɛn kin si gud smel as bad. Fɔ ɛgzampul, di smel we kɔfi kin smɛl kin smɛl lɛk rɔba we dɔn bɔn to yu.
If a nɔ de smɛl, aw a go tek tɛm?
Te yu ebul fɔ smɛl bak, yu nid fɔ tink mɔ bɔt aw yu go sef.
- Instɔl smok ditektɔ: Mek shɔ se yu put dɛn tin ya na os ɛn na wokples, ɛn chɛk dɛn batri ɔltɛm.
- Chek di de dɛn we di it fɔ dɔn: We yu de bay ɛn yuz it, tek tɛm chɛk di de we di it dɔn. Nɔ jɔj if i dɔn pwɛl bay we i de smɛl.
- Tek kia ɔf gas aplayans: Ɔltɛm chɛk fɔ si if tin dɛn lɛk gas stov ɛn silinda de wok fayn. If i pɔsibul, put wan tin we de sho se di gas de lik.
Mɛsej we dɛn kin kɛr go na os
- Anosmia na wan sik we pipul dɛn kin gɛt. Bɔrku tɛm na tin wae de kam fɔ sɔm tɛm lɛk kol ɛn sayn infεkshɔn.
- Bɔt sɔntɛnde dis kin bi sayn fɔ wan siriɔs sik, lɛk dayabitis, ed injury, ɔr nyurolɔjik kɔndishɔn.
- If yu stil nɔ ebul fɔ smɛl fɔ sɔm dez afta yu kol dɔn, go mɔs go to yu dɔktɔ.
- Di tɛm we yu nɔ ebul fɔ smɛl, tek spɛshal tin fɔ protɛkt yusɛf frɔm denja lɛk faya, gas we de lik, ɛn it we dɔn pwɛl.
