What are the causes of recurring sinusitis?

I get sinusitis on average at least once a year, and have done for the past 4 years or so.

Is there any reason why I should be more susceptible to it?

Sometimes the passages from the sinuses (there are 6) that drain into the nose are blocked.
An infected tooth can cause problems in the maxillry sinuses. Cystic fibrosis also, but you would have said if you had that.
Do you get many colds? they are the most common cause of sinusitis.
Apart from there being some source of sepsis ie from your nose or a tooth for which decongestants, steam, analgesics and in stubborn attacks antibiotics help there isn't much more that can be done.
If really troublesome, persistent and debilitating referral to an ENT surgeon might be an idea. He would use a little tube with a light on the end to look inside the sinuses and remove any debris to improve drainage.
