A descriptive study on etiological factors of peenisam (sinusitis) among patients attending out patient department in government siddha medical college, Palayamkottai

In India 40% of people are living below the poverty line. People under the poverty line are exposed to various problems. As we are Health people, we are they very much worried about their health conditions, they face in their continue life- style. Peenisam are one of the common disorder seen by the general practitioners, which are troubling the mankind. Although peenisam is create physical and psychological discomfort. I am very much worried and a thought of carrying art and my research process. Being a student of Govt .Siddha Medical College, Palayamkottai, I made my research involving 50 members diagnosed as peenisam patients. Questionnaire was text book. Made on the basis of Siddha concept of etiological factors of Peenisam said in Siddha text book. At the end of the study, I have really realized that “Prevention is better than cure” because the people who were exposed to the etiological factors of Peenisam with out awareness were gotten the asthmatic episodes. If we make awareness about the etiological factors of Peenisam, the patient will take care of their own health. From this study results and observation, I found that the patient having H/O, exposure to dust and other allergiens was 44 members (88%); H/O, exposures to cool air and intake of cold water was 40 members (80%); H/O, patients with nasal septal deviation/nasal polyps was 28 members (56%); H/O, allergic to cosmetics was 22 members (44%). This study will be essential role of siddha physicians to early diagnosis, prognosis and preventive of the disease. Further literary and clinical studies are necessary in future.
