ABSTRACT
Introduction: Su-ul-qinya (anaemia) is a condition of decrease in quantity as well as quality of blood. The quantitative decrement is a condition which resembles anaemia in modern medicine, whereas Unani medicine describes its qualitative approaches too. As far its description, Su-ul-qinya is described in great details in classical Unani literature. The ancient scholars including Ali Ibn-e-Abbas Majoosi (Haly Abbas 930-994 AD), Zakariya Razi (Rhazes 850-925 AD) Ibn Sina (950-1037 AD’), Rabban Tabri (777-850 AD) etc. have mentioned Su-ul-qinya in their different documentation with emphasis on aetiological factors. Various aetiological factors have been described, some of them are related to demography and other are related to sex, age, diet and temperament, some experts have emphasised on its congenital and hereditary etiological spectrum.[9,10] Aims and Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of anaemia among adolescent females, to study pattern symptoms according to Unani parameter and to study the socio demographic factors associated with anaemia. Methodology: The present study (sample size of 50) is a cross sectional, field survey entitled as “Prevalence of Su-ul-Qinya among the adolescent females.” The survey was carried out among students from the primary secondary, higher secondary and junior college and U.G classes. The study was designed on two parameters the first one was questionnaire-based scale (subjective parameter) and second was evaluation of haemoglobin percentage through Sahli’s method as an objective scale.[25] Investigation & Results: Haemoglobin level was assessed by Sahli’s method and prevalence of anemia was found to be 91.8%. Observations: The prevalence of anemia was 91.8% and normal students were 8.2%. The two groups did not differ significantly with respect to personal history, menstrual history, type of diet, symptoms according to Unani parameters and awareness about the various facts concerning anemia. Chi square test done in each category (P > 0.05%).
