How would you feel if you could no longer smell your favourite scent?
Anosmia is a partial or full loss of smell. While usually a temporary symptom of an illness like a cold or sinus infection, more serious medical issues like a brain injury or diabetes could cause anosmia. On today’s episode of the DocTalks Podcast, Dr. Leigh Sowerby, Division Head of Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery at St. Joseph’s Health Care London and Associate Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at Western University, joins to discuss anosmia. He chats with host, Mandi Fields, about causes, impact on lifestyle and treatments.
