Can a meningioma cause a bland mouth?

A bland mouth is generally defined as eating something that feels tasteless. Meningiomas that press on the nerves that innervate the sense of taste may cause eating to feel tasteless.
The tympanic and glossopharyngeal nerves are the two main taste nerves that innervate the taste buds on the surface of the tongue. If the meningioma is large or in a particular location, it may compress the tympanic nerve and the glossopharyngeal nerve, which may cause the phenomenon of having no taste when eating. If the meningioma is small or grows far away from the tympanic nerve and the glossopharyngeal nerve, it usually does not cause the phenomenon of having no taste when eating.
Meningioma patients should pay more attention to rest in daily life, avoid staying up late and overworking. Diet should be comprehensive, balanced and nutritious, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and supplement protein, vitamins and other nutrients appropriately. You can exercise appropriately to enhance your physical fitness.
In addition, patients with meningioma should seek medical treatment in time and be actively treated under the guidance of doctors, so as not to delay the condition.
