Taste disorders

Definition

Dysgeusia or taste disorders. General terms which means a disorder of the normal perception of taste. 

The dysgeusia result as taste disorders which doesn't allow to discern the four flavors; salty, sweet, sour and bitter also.  To define them shows itself possible by very uncertain tastes and usual unpleasant or by two major types of symptoms being the hypogeusia which is defined by a reduction in the gustative sensibility and taste loss, explaining by the partial or total disparation of the taste.  If these symptoms have a minor impact on health, in contrast, dysgeusia induce a decrease in quality of life and sometimes anorexia, weight loss, leading to a deterioration of the general condition. This disorder therefore generates a feeling of unease and even a rising anxiety.  Various causes appear to be the source of these problems. Among the main, sometimes discern respiratory infections usually due to the presence of bacteria in the respiratory tract, oral infections significantly reducing diet, smoking, hypothyroidism (regressive secretion of thyroid), diabetes, the irradiation (spread of pain) or cancers.  Indeed, these factors usually generate a malfunction on the ability to differentiate the flavors at the level of the tongue. The dysgeusia also appear to be induced by drugs such as inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme, antifungals (drugs fighting some infections) or anticancer agents.  If the source remains medicinal, the stop taking the drug is enough for finding the tasteful sensation, but not immediately. In case of infections, it is better to know more about the source and treat it. It's better also to avoid using tobacco which can cause acute poisoning and lead to a permanent loss of taste sensation.
