What Is Kallmann Syndrome?
5. Sense of Smell
Our sense of smell is very important to us. For one thing, it is very important when it comes to meal time. Even the best made meals will lose a lot of appeal if we could not smell them, and our sense of smell is also strongly linked with our sense of taste. This can mean people end up eating less than they otherwise would.
Losing your sense of smell presents another problem because it means the patient may not be able to detect that certain foods are expired. It can also be dangerous because the patient will not be able to detect certain warning signs, such as smoke from a fire. Some patients with Kallmann syndrome will have a weaker sense of smell, or maybe no sense of smell at all.
