When to Consult

  • Smell loss persisting beyond 8 weeks after infection
  • Post-COVID anosmia affecting taste and appetite
  • Anosmia after sinus or skull base surgery
  • Trauma-related smell dysfunction
  • Smell distortion (parosmia) impacting nutrition
  • Professionals needing calibrated smell (chefs, perfumers)

Understanding PRP for Anosmia in the Indian Context

Post-viral smell loss surged after COVID-19 across Hyderabad. PRP harnesses your platelets to regenerate olfactory neurons, particularly when traditional sprays fail.

When to Consult Our Anosmia Specialists

⚠️ Seek urgent help if:

  • ✓ You cannot smell gas leaks, smoke, or spoiled food
  • ✓ Smell loss affects nutrition leading to weight loss
  • ✓ Anosmia follows head injury with other neurological signs

Elective appointments help persistent post-infectious smell loss, smell distortions, or professionals who rely on sensory evaluation.

Our Diagnostic Approach

1️⃣ ENT Assessment Endoscopy and smell tests document baseline.

2️⃣ Objective Scoring UPSIT/Sniffin' Sticks quantify severity for progress tracking.

3️⃣ Lab Review Platelet counts and metabolic profile ensure safe PRP concentration.

4️⃣ Counselling Set expectations, discuss smell retraining, and schedule sessions.

Treatment Pathways

PRP injections combined with smell retraining, anti-inflammatory support, and allergy management promote neural recovery. Adjunct vitamin therapy and tele coaching maintain progress.

What to Expect: Your Care Journey

  • Week 0: Baseline tests, PRP session 1, smell kit issued.
  • Week 3: Session 2 with progress scoring.
  • Week 6: Session 3 and tele counselling.
  • Months 3-6: Maintenance sniff therapy, diet optimisation, repeat scoring.

Technology & Innovation

Angel PRP centrifuge customises platelet concentration. Endoscopic guidance ensures precise delivery with minimal discomfort.

Preventing Complications

Active smell training prevents cortical smell loss, while allergy control blocks inflammation recurrence. Early treatment reduces anxiety and depression tied to anosmia.
