The formation of snoring 1, overwork
Snoring after working overtime, drinking, smoking and staying up late.
2, nasal reasons
Deviation of nasal septum (deviation and translation of nasal septum: refers to a nasal deformity that causes clinical symptoms because the nasal septum deviates from the midline. Clinically, it is often manifested as persistent or intermittent nasal congestion, runny nose, dizziness, headache and nosebleeds. ), nasal polyps, turbinate hypertrophy, congestion and hypertrophy of nasal mucosa, chronic rhinitis, etc. These diseases can cause nasal congestion or narrow the respiratory tract of the nose, thus causing snoring.
3. Congenital oral and nasal stenosis
A narrow space in the nasal cavity or throat, including abnormal morphology of the oral cavity and nasal cavity, or hypertrophy of some glands. If the airway is too narrow or blocked, it will lead to poor breathing during sleep and snoring immediately.
4. Pharyngeal causes
When throat diseases, such as tonsillitis, occur, the gland of the eye increases, which narrows the respiratory passage of the throat and leads to snoring.
5, respiratory causes
The most easily blocked parts are oropharynx and laryngopharynx, and both parts often collapse at the same time. Therefore, the above-mentioned pharyngeal causes and congenital anatomical deformities are the main causes of snoring. Women can't delay snoring, so they should be treated as soon as possible.
6. Functional reasons
The airway is normal when awake during the day, and the muscle tension around the airway decreases during sleep. In addition, when lying on your back, the base of your tongue retracts, leading to airway stenosis and snoring.
7. Snoring caused by congenital anatomical malformation
Mandibular dysplasia, mandibular retraction, etc.
8. Bad sleeping posture
Sleeping posture seems to have nothing to do with snoring, but in fact there are not a few snorers who are really caused by sleeping posture. Some people's oral muscle tissue, soft palate, oropharynx and other muscles are slack (especially elderly friends). If they sleep on their backs, their tongue roots or other related tissues will slide to their throats under the action of gravity, blocking the respiratory tract, leading to poor breathing and snoring.
9. obesity
Obese people have fat hyperplasia all over the body, the throat is often swollen, and the respiratory tract naturally narrows. Therefore, obese people often snore. If there is no other reason, snoring can be controlled through fitness and weight loss.
Treatment of snoring general treatment
The treatment of snoring patients should be based on different reasons, and the choice of snoring treatment method is the most important factor to determine the treatment effect. Medically, it is divided into four times to talk about the main methods for treating snoring at present. Let's talk about general treatment first. Weight loss: Obesity is one of the factors leading to pharyngeal stenosis. Losing weight can reduce the degree of airway obstruction. Smoking cessation wine: Smoke can stimulate inflammation of the pharynx, causing edema and stenosis of the pharynx. Wine can relax muscles, shrink the base of the tongue and aggravate obstruction. In addition, not taking sedative sleeping pills before going to bed, sleeping on the side is good for snoring.
drug therapy
Modern medical research has confirmed that the main causes of snoring are the stenosis and obstruction of nose and nasopharynx, oropharynx, soft palate and tongue root. During sleep, the soft tissue of pharynx relaxes and the tongue root retracts, which leads to the inability of airflow to freely pass through the pharyngeal airway. At present, there are many drugs that can treat snoring at home and abroad. Acetazolamide thyroxine tablets promote metabolism and have certain curative effect. It can be relieved to some extent during taking the medicine, but it cannot be cured. The American snore rehabilitation combination produced by introducing American technology adopts snore rehabilitation buccal tablets to eliminate throat poison, enhance immunity, fundamentally alleviate the root cause of snoring, and will not recur after cure! At the same time, with the help of Xifukang spray, it can quickly sterilize, detoxify, reduce swelling and dredge cavities, so as to achieve internal and external balanced breathing and restore the activities of nasal air wall tube, oral soft palate and tongue root tissue. Xifukang buccal tablets have become the first choice for patients who have been cured for a long time and are unwilling to undergo surgery, laser, thermal coagulation and microwave.
conservative treatment
Weight loss therapy can improve sleeping posture and avoid bending the head forward with high pillows; Instrument therapy, such as nasal dilator, self-flowing tongue depressor, etc.
food therapy
Diet and life: eat more light food, such as vegetables and fruits, smoke less and drink less. Early to bed and early to rise. Physical exercise can relieve snoring.
Surgical therapy
It is suitable for ineffective conservative treatment, snoring loudness is greater than 60dB, holding your breath during sleep is more than 10 ~ 20s, sleeping at least 10 times per hour, abdominal distension in the morning, drowsiness during the day, holding your breath during sleep, hypoxemia after instrument examination, and typical family reaction symptoms. After examination, the pharyngeal cavity is narrow, and palatopharyngoplasty or uvulopalatopharyngoplasty or laser suspension can be performed. Different surgical methods should be selected according to the obstruction plane. For example, patients with nasal congestion should undergo nasal surgery to make the nasal passages unobstructed. Patients with pharyngeal stenosis can undergo velopharyngoplasty, which is the most commonly used surgical method to treat snoring and sleep apnea by removing part of the uvula and tonsils and increasing the pharyngeal space. Its success depends on the choice of surgical patients. In addition, patients with small mandible tend to lean backwards, and orthognathic surgery can be done.
Ion cryoablation technique
Plasma cryoablation is the latest patented technology in the United States and a very developed minimally invasive treatment method. It can melt the pharyngeal tissue, reduce the volume and reduce the hypertrophy of the tongue. Because it is hypothermia treatment, the local reaction is small, basically painless, no bleeding or less bleeding, and the operation time is short. It can be treated in outpatient department, mainly suitable for patients with nasal and pharyngeal stenosis and tongue hypertrophy. At present, the Department of Otolaryngology of Nanjing Bayi Hospital has treated many patients with plasma ablation technology and achieved good results.
Continuous positive pressure ventilation therapy
The main principle of continuous positive pressure ventilation (CPAP) is to wear a small CPAP machine when sleeping, so that the mask can be connected to the ventilator, which is similar to the principle of blowing balloons to enlarge the throat stenosis. Every patient needs different pressures, so doctors need to use polysomnography to determine an appropriate pressure. CPAP machine can obviously increase the oxygen content in blood, which is suitable for patients with moderate and severe snoring and other treatment failures.
Physical therapy for correcting snoring with tongue rest
What are the characteristics? Oral organ correction type? That is, according to the mechanism of snoring, it is made into a semi-denture cover, which is worn in the mouth when sleeping and fixed on the gums. Through its special biological functional materials, it directly acts on the deformed upper soft palate and lower Lickitung of the patient's mouth. Then, according to the correction principle of physical mechanics, the correct position and shape of the internal organs of the patient's mouth can be restored, and an unobstructed respiratory tract can be formed, thus reducing or even fundamentally eliminating snoring and breath holding.
Snoring affects 1 and affects others' sleep.
People who snore do sleep soundly and steadily. It is very worrying that ordinary people and snorers sleep in the same room at night: when non-snorers lie down before falling asleep, roommates are already snoring and asleep. This kind of snoring will make the non-snorers in the same room sleepless all night, and they will be in a daze the next day, unable to work and study.
