MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY, IMPORTANT MEDICAL TERMS WITH EXPLANATION, AMNESIA,  ALOPCIA, ANOREXIA, INSOMNIA

AMNESIA
Amnesia = loss of memory
Amnesia is a deficit in memory caused by brain damage or disease, but it can also be caused temporarily by the use of various sedatives and hypnotic drugs

ALOPECIA
Alopecia = Loss of Hair 
Alopecia areata, also known as spot baldness, is a condition in which hair is lost from some or all areas of the body. 
Often it results in a few bald spots on the scalp, each about the size of a coin. 
Psychological stress may result. People are generally otherwise healthy

ANOREXIA
ANOREXIA = Loss of appetite
implies that hunger is absent—a person with anorexia has no desire to eat. 
In contrast, a person with an eating disorder such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa is hungry but restricts food intake or vomits after eating because of over concern about weight gain.

INSOMNIA
INSOMNIA= Loss of sleep
Insomnia includes trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. 
Episodes may come and go, last up to 3 weeks (be short-term), or be long-lasting (chronic). 
Hypersomnia is a condition in which people have excessive daytime sleepiness

AGEUSIA 
AGEUSIA = Loss of Taste
Ageusia is the loss of taste functions of the tongue, particularly the inability to detect sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness, and umami (meaning "pleasant/savory taste"). 
It is sometimes confused with anosmia – a loss of the sense of smell.

AMENORRHEA
AMENORRHEA = Loss of menses
Amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation one or more missed menstrual periods. 
Women who have missed at least three menstrual periods in a row have amenorrhea, as do girls who haven't begun menstruation by age 15. The most common cause of amenorrhea is pregnany

HYPOESTHESIA
HYPOESTHESIA = LOSS OF SENSITIVITY 
Hypoesthesia or numbness is a common side effect of various medical conditions which manifests as a reduced sense of touch or sensation, or a partial loss of sensitivity to sensory stimuli. 
In everyday speech this is generally referred to as numbness
