Snoring in women - can I get rid of it?

Socializing in a dream is associated with the shake of the walls of the nasopharynx, a soft sky and a parallery with a narrowing of the hole through which the air passes during breathing. The reasons for this phenomenon in women can be different:

  1. Failures in the work of the endocrine system:
  • the increase in the blood content of male genital hormones - androgens and a decrease in the content of their antagonists - the female sex hormones of estrogen, supporting the tone of smooth muscles, including the muscles of the soft sky and the pagan tongue; When the tone of the muscles reduce and pegs during breathing, causing sound maintenance; At night, the muscles relax more, so the problem is exacerbated;
  • long-term reception of hormonal contraceptives without laboratory control can lead to a resistant suppression of the production of own estrogen, which will also contribute to the development of respiratory disorders;
  • age after 40 - 45 years, when the physiological decrease in the secretion of estrogen occurs;
  • hypothyroidism - reducing the function of the thyroid gland; In this case, the metabolism is slowed down, which cannot but affect the secretion of sex hormones; weight increases, dryness of mucous membranes, including nasopharynx; All this contributes to the development of snatching;
  • diabetes mellitus - a violation of carbohydrate exchange leads to a violation of blood circulation, a decrease in immunity and the development of chronic infectious-inflammatory processes, including in the field of LOR-organs (chronic sinusitis, tonsillites, adenoidites); They cause swelling of tissues, reinforcing at night when the body is warmed and is in a horizontal position;
  • obesity - extra kilograms increase during menopause and menopause (there is a deficiency of estrogen), with some endocrine diseases, a sedentary lifestyle and improper nutrition; Fat deposits in the field of soft sky contribute to snatching at night.
  1. Any chronic inflammatory nasopharynx diseases - allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, adenoiditis, etc.
  2. Malocclusion.
  3. Alcohol smoking - leads to drying mucous membranes and reduce them in volume (atrophy); Threaded mucosters cannot fully perform their barrier function - to prevent the penetration of infection and toxins that have a negative effect on the smooth muscles of the nasopharynx.
  4. Long uncontrolled use of sleeping pills and strong sedatives (tranquilizers); This leads to constant relaxing of the smooth muscles and the development of snoring.
  5. Violations by the central or peripheral nervous systemwhich lead to changes in the innervation of a smooth muss of a soft sky.
  6. Snoring may also occur against the background of strong overwork or after transferred stress.
