Psychosomatics of sinusitis: a description, causes and features of treatment

Sinusitis is a very serious illness both in treatment and in manifesting symptoms. It is generally believed that the disease is infectious in nature and develops when the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract are affected by streptococci or staphylococci that cause inflammation and decay of the maxillary sinuses.

However, very often classical treatment with antibiotics, surgical punctures, immunomodulators does not bring a final result. The disease only recedes for a while, and then its symptoms come back again, and for the sufferer from them everything starts all over again. Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to consider sinusitis in terms of psychosomatics.

The first symptoms

Unfortunately, it is impossible to determine immediately that the genyantritis has begun. The first manifestations of the disease are typical for a number of colds:

• headache;
• General lethargy and malaise;
• temperature increase;
• Runny nose.

Usually the therapist prescribes a referral to the otolaryngologist when nasal discharge does not last longer than a month, while patients complain of a pressing feeling above the eyebrows and under the eyes, headache and weakness.

In this case, the directly marked contents can be transparent and do not have an unpleasant odor. In this case, doctors recommend to visit not only the ENT, but also an allergist.

Types of genyantritis

There are three types of inflammation of the maxillary sinuses:

• acute;
• allergic;
• chronic.

Acute form of the disease

The acute form of the disease is characterized by the presence of signs that can not be ignored:

• Severe pain in the face and head, with recoil in the ears or teeth;
• Tearfulness, bad reaction to bright light;
• Spontaneous discharge from the nose, especially when the head is tilted down, purulent discharge of gray, yellow, green, sometimes with seals;
• Frequent chills;
• Congestion and loss of smell.

The chronic form is a dormant condition of the disease. With such a course, the sinusitis becomes aggravated only seasonally or when the person is stiff, regular exposure to drafts and the like. The most inconspicuous clinical situation for this disease, which is usually taken for purged ears, is simply SARS or aching teeth.

The allergic variety characterizes a permanent runny nose with clear discharge, a feeling of irritation and dryness in the nose, flaky eyes and sneezing.

Sinusitis, psychosomatic: causes

The usual sources of this complex disease include:

• Congenital or acquired anomalies, for example, the curvature of the septum of the nose;
• Transferred infectious and viral diseases;
• Polyps in the nose;
• External factors favoring allergies;
• Fungal infections.

Standard therapies

If the reason lies in one of these factors, then one of the accepted methods of treatment will cope with the disease:

• Medicines;
• Washing;
• surgery.

In case of relapse or a general lack of result, the roots of the disease should be sought in the emotional state of the patient. It is necessary to carefully analyze sinusitis. Psychosomatics here, most likely, plays not the last role.

Psychosomatics of sinusitis

The popular saying that all illnesses from nerves, often finds confirmation. Excluding fungal infections and other objective causes, including possible allergens, for the appearance of regular inflammation of the maxillary sinuses, attention should be paid to the state of the nervous system and the psyche. There is such a thing as psychosomatic diseases, sinusitis often occurs precisely for psychological reasons.

There are certain factors that cause sinusitis:

• Frequent or prolonged stress;
• Depression;
• A state of frustration;
• anxiety;
• General depression;
• A sense of lack of demand and unfulfilledness;
• Constant resentment combined with self-pity;
• Chronic emotional fatigue;
• The need to prove something to others.

The list of emotional complications can be continued. There are infinitely many reasons for tears and experiences, and, having no way out, being held back for a long time inside, they will inevitably lead to illness. And since psychosomatics began to work, the maxillary sinusitis soon becomes chronic. It's only a matter of time.

In what way is psychosomatics manifested? The genyantritis is directly connected with unplaited tears, however paradoxical it may sound. The whole point is that with artificially restrained crying, the paranasal sinuses are not cleared. On the contrary, the moisture and mucus produced in these sinuses remains. Because the person deliberately did not cry. An extremely favorable soil for the growth and activity of bacteria is formed. This is psychosomatic, as a result of which sinusitis appears, and with it can not cope with any medicine, washing and puncture.

Sinusitis in children

Separately, it is necessary to distinguish the reasons for the inflammation of the adenoids and, of course, the maxillary sinuses, in children. Unlike adults, growing organisms are much stronger with respect to immunity, they tolerate diseases more easily and recover faster.

However, constant sniffing with the nose is not uncommon. Before you start to carry the baby in the doctor's offices and endless procedures or to stuff the baby's nose with all sorts of drops, it's worth considering whether everything is good for the child emotionally. Psychosomatics of sinusitis in children practically does not differ from an adult.

To the psychosomatic reasons of the sinusitis form two seemingly opposite factors:

• Lack of love, attention, approval, support and care from adults;
• An overabundance of adoration, hyper-care, excessive attention, obsessive concern.

In the first variant the child feels unnecessary, superfluous. If excessive sensitivity and exactingness is added to the lack of attention to the child's attention, then the child does not simply realize himself to be lonely, he must constantly meet the expectations of adults and justify their vision of himself. This is a terrible stress that generates permanent internally held tears and, accordingly, leads to sinusitis.

In the second type of behavior of adults, the child suffers from the inability to express himself, to do at least something independently. As a rule, this starts with the inability to get dirty in infancy, fall on the playground, later get a deuce in the school, as parents will take all measures to this assessment their children are not put. Such excessive love leads to emotional frustration, the feeling of being locked away from the world in the cage and, of course, to the same unplaited crying, which grows into sinusitis.

The genyantritis in the modern world full of stresses, complexities, insults and disappointments, meets even more often. The best prevention in this regard is peace, peace of mind, harmony with oneself and the surrounding world, kindness and positive emotions. Despite the fact that it is difficult enough, all the efforts made will justify themselves, and together with insults, anger, grief from life, will go away and sinusitis.
