Dysosmia, also known as parosmia, refers to an altered sense of smell that can be caused by a variety of factors such as sinus infections, head injuries, or exposure to certain chemicals. If you are experiencing dysosmia, you may find that your sense of smell is distorted, making it difficult to distinguish between different odors or causing unpleasant odors to be more intense. Some possible synonyms for dysosmia include olfactory dysfunction, smell distortion, and anosmia with distortion. Treatment for dysosmia may vary depending on the underlying cause and may include medication, surgery, or lifestyle changes depending on the individual case.
