Snoring is a common problem that not only seriously affects the health of the snorer but also disrupts the sleep of others. The harmful effects of snoring are well known. Many people are troubled by the treatment of snoring, so how can snoring be treated? What are the methods for treating snoring? Let me introduce them to you below.
Snoring, also known as snoring, is a condition that harms oneself and affects others. Therefore, snoring is also called snoring syndrome.
Method 1: Physical treatment
Use an anti-snoring device while sleeping. The principle is to place a personalized device in the mouth, which fixes the patient's mandible in a suitable forward position. The forward movement of the mandible pulls the tongue forward, opening the respiratory passage at the back of the tongue. At the same time, the forward movement of the tongue reduces the pressure of the tongue on the uvula, opening the respiratory passage at the back. This improves ventilation, enhances oxygen supply, and eliminates or reduces snoring. It is an effective treatment for snoring.
Method 2: Conservative therapy
Weight loss therapy; improvement of sleeping position, avoiding high pillows and sleeping with the head bent forward; appliance therapy, such as nasal dilator and tongue-retaining device.
Method 3: Diet
Diet and lifestyle: Eat light foods such as vegetables and fruits, smoke less, and avoid alcohol. Go to bed and wake up early. Regular exercise can also alleviate snoring symptoms.
Method 4: Surgical therapy
Applicable to patients for whom conservative therapy is ineffective, snoring intensity is greater than 60dB, apnea duration during sleep is 10-20 seconds or longer, and there are at least 10 breathing pauses per hour of sleep.
Method 5: Medication therapy
Medical research has confirmed that the main causes of snoring are narrowing and blockage at three locations: nose and nasopharynx, oropharynx and soft palate, and the base of the tongue. In addition, relaxation of soft tissues in the throat and posterior displacement of the base of the tongue during sleep also contribute to the obstruction of airflow through the throat. Currently, there are many effective medications for treating snoring both domestically and internationally, which can provide relief during the treatment period.
