Sleep snoring after pregnancy may be due to physiological factors such as poor sleeping position, or pathologic factors such as hypertrophy of the nasal turbinates.
1. Physiological factors. After pregnancy, the uterus gradually increases in size, and sleeping in the supine position for a long time causes poor blood circulation, forming edema, leading to throat obstruction, which leads to snoring and other phenomena.
2. Pathological factors. It may be caused by turbinate hypertrophy, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and other diseases.
(1) Nasal turbinate hypertrophy. Due to chronic inflammation and other reasons, it causes hypertrophy of the nasal turbinates, which leads to nasal congestion, coughing, tinnitus and other symptoms, so there are phenomena such as sleep snoring.
(2) Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Due to gradual obesity after pregnancy, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is induced, and symptoms such as nasal congestion, headache, drowsiness, etc. appear, resulting in the phenomenon of sleep snoring after pregnancy.
It is recommended to go to the hospital in time for consultation and symptomatic treatment.
