慢性鼻窦炎包括一组特征为持续至少12周的鼻和鼻旁窦粘膜炎症的疾病。除了鼻塞和分泌物外，慢性鼻窦炎也是嗅觉功能障碍的常见原因。减肥会导致一些问题，包括安全问题、卫生问题、食欲障碍以及情绪和性行为的变化。虽然与鼻窦疾病相关的嗅觉丧失可能是嗅觉功能障碍最可治疗的形式，并且治疗可以改善鼻窦炎患者的嗅觉，但大多数研究表明，这种效果通常是短暂和不完全的。
Chronic rhinosinusitis encompasses a group of disorders characterized by inflammation of the mucosa of the nose and paranasal sinuses of at least 12 weeks' duration. In addition to nasal obstruction and discharge, chronic sinusitis is a common cause of olfactory dysfunction. Smell loss can result in problems including safety concerns, hygiene matters, appetite disorders, and changes in emotional and sexual behavior. Although smell loss related to sinonasal disease is probably the most treatable form of olfactory dysfunction and treatment can improve olfactory sensation in the setting of sinusitis, most studies show that the effects are usually transient and incomplete.
