Men snoring may be related to obesity, mandibular retraction deformity, tonsil hypertrophy and other factors, according to the cause of the disease and the characteristics of the disease, choose the general treatment, medication and surgery and other ways of treatment.
1. Obesity: Obese men often have a lot of fat accumulation in the neck and submucosal tissue of pharyngeal cavity, squeezing the space of pharyngeal cavity, resulting in narrowing of airway. When sleeping in a horizontal position, the airflow is guided to hit the mucous membrane of the soft palate and produce snoring symptoms. The symptoms of snoring can be relieved by actively controlling body weight, reducing fat volume, reducing respiratory resistance, and assisting non-invasive positive pressure ventilator treatment.
2. Mandibular retraction deformity: due to genetic factors, developmental abnormalities and other reasons, resulting in mandibular deformity and retraction, so that the space in front and back of the oropharyngeal cavity is narrowed. At night, when sleeping in a flat position, the tongue root falls back and blocks the pharyngeal cavity, and the soft palate is easy to be oscillated when the airflow passes through and snoring occurs. You can choose to move the jaw forward surgery, wear oral orthodontic appliances and other ways of treatment.
3. Tonsillar hypertrophy: the tonsils are enlarged and proliferated due to inflammation, allergy and stimulation of adverse physical and chemical factors, which directs the airflow through the oropharynx to the soft palate, leading to vibration of the edge of the soft palate and mucus, and thus snoring occurs. Measures such as tonsillectomy and non-invasive positive pressure ventilator therapy can be chosen to correct the dysfunction of pharyngeal ventilation in order to relieve snoring symptoms.
When snoring occurs in men, it is recommended to actively seek medical treatment, improve the nighttime sleep breathing monitoring, systematic examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then develop targeted treatment programs.
