German term
Asensibilität
German to English
Medical
Medical (general)
Hallo,
ich habe eine Krankenakte vorliegen, durchtrennte Beugesehne des Fingers.
Die Sensibilität im Bereich der Schnittverletzung sei leicht eingeschränkt, aber die Patientin spüre alles, keine *Asensibilität*.
Gibt es hier einen treffenden englischen Ausdruck? Ich denke, selbst das deutsche Wort ist nicht sehr häufig.
Besten Dank.

loss of (skin) sensation
It's not sensibility, it's not sensitivity, it's sensation.
The ability to detect touch, pain, heat.

asensibility
I don't think this is very commonly used in English either - but I did find a medical reference with the word:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8438199
"In 12 patients, we found reduced areola sensibility; however, asensibility was not observed. "

numbness
A synonym of this word is Gefühllosigkeit. In the context, I think it could simply be numbness. You could also say "lack of feeling" or maybe even "insensibility".
