Can Removal Of Left Adrenal Gland Cause A Feeling Of Bad Odour In Rooms?
I had a liproscoptic removal of my left adrenal gland that had an 8 c tumor---after 1+week I developed a terrible smelling problem--I sometimes have to use a face mask to defuse weird smells in rooms large or small-I am ok outside most of the time-is this from the surgery, pain meds, or what & how long will it last. Food smells bad put tastes ok

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Adrenal gland removal does not cause such symptoms and it might be due to something else.
Sometimes anaesthetic drugs can cause alters smell( Parosmia ) and will settle by it own.
As of now nothing much has to be done and wait for few days.
If symptoms persist, better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
