The cause of snoring is not aging
Snoring is often attributed to ageing. It is true that it can worsen with age, but the cause lies much deeper. Snoring is a symptom of impaired airflow through the throat. The result of this condition is increasing fatigue, sleeplessness and, during the day, złe mood and concentration problems. Obstructed airflow can lead to dangerous sleep apnoea and hypoxia, which is dangerous to health and even life.

Snoring affects women as much as men
Both men and women snore. As we age, more and more people have this problem, although ageing is not the direct cause. There are many causes of snoring: smoking, drinking alcohol, overweight and obesity, inhalant allergy and asthma, fatigue, sleeping on the back , but also hypertension or menopause in women . Flaccidity of the laryngeal and pharyngeal tissues can also occur with age as early as 40 years of age. People with an oversized tonsil or a crooked nasal septum are also at risk of snoring.
Snoring is subject to medical diagnosis
If you snore, you are not reliant on this affliction. If you suffer from nocturnal snoring, it is a good idea to consult your doctor, who will order some key tests in the first instance. Initially, it is important to check whether sleep apnoea is occurring during snoring. For this purpose, a sleep polygraph examination is performed, and nasal patency is also checked or a CT scan of the airways is carried out.
Snoring can be treated
New technologies make it possible to effectively treatment of nocturnal snoring. For the treatment of this condition, the best solutions are laser treatments, which irradiate the structures of the throat. The heating shrinks the vessels, reducing flaccidity and stimulates collagen fibres to work. In addition, the laser improves the elasticity and stiffness of the throat tissues. Laser treatments are extremely effective and, in addition, non-invasive and almost painless. Importantly, they require no preparation or anaesthesia.
