How can snoring be treated? How is snoring treated?

Snoring is mainly divided into general and medical interventions. Generally**mainly**, exercise, try to sleep on your side when sleeping, do not sleep on your back, and at the same time should quit smoking and drinking. Medical intervention**, non-invasive ventilators are preferred**, that is, wearing a ventilator when sleeping at night to generate a certain amount of pressure, open the narrow airway, and keep the airway open to avoid snoring; The second is surgery**, which is suitable for patients with definite upper airway stenosis, including nasal polyps, deviated septums, turbinate hypertrophy, etc.; The third is oral appliances**, which are suitable for patients with mandibular deformities with a retracted jaw.

The airway is usually narrower than normal in people who snore, and the compensatory contraction of the throat muscles during waking during the day keeps the airway open and does not become blocked. However, during night sleep, nerve excitability decreases, muscles relax, pharyngeal tissues are blocked, and the upper airway collapses, and when the airflow passes through the narrow part, vortex currents are generated and vibrations are caused, resulting in snoring, and in severe cases, breathing can be temporarily stopped, thus affecting people's physical health. In addition, a small number of people have central causes.

The medical community believes that snoring is also likely to be caused by other ** in the body. Current medical research reports show that patients with hypertension and cardiovascular diseases have a higher chance of snoring, and obese people are more likely to snore, and patients with diseases such as chest problems, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases are more likely to have snoring problems.

If snoring is the only one, the same method as mild OSAS can be used, such as **, even if only a small amount of weight is lost, snoring will be clearly expected. If there is nasal congestion at the same time, various methods of nasal obstruction can reduce snoring, nasal obstruction may be due to allergic rhinitis, nasal septum deviation or other mechanical reasons such as tumors, etc., according to the different nasal congestion** can be used drugs or surgical methods**. Patients with a deviated septum can have their septum corrected.

Snoring in sleep is caused by poor breathing during sleep, when people sleep, the whole body is relaxed, the tongue is soft, the muscles of the throat and respiratory tract will also relax and collapse, and breathing will become unsmooth. Then the airflow causes vibrations in the surrounding soft tissues, resulting in snoring.

There are a lot of people who visit the clinic every day, after all, the technology is here, which makes people feel at ease and more at ease.

Weight loss: Clinical observation found that weight loss can significantly improve snoring in sensitive limbs.

Oral appliances: can enlarge the pharyngeal cavity by preventing the tongue and soft palate from collapsing backwards.

Medications: Avoiding certain medications, such as sedatives or muscle relaxants, can improve snoring in some people. The use of nasal mucosal constrictors can improve airway structure and compliance, and improve snoring.

Quit smoking, alcohol: Snoring can be improved by lowering upper airway resistance. In particular, alcohol should be avoided before bedtime, and the amount of alcohol consumed at bedtime is proportional to the objectively measured incidence of snoring and snoring.

Sleeping on your side: Avoiding sleeping on your back and changing your sleeping position can reduce snoring.
