Snoring like thunder. Divorce stents stop snoring and don't disturb sleep.

Snoring again will divorce you! Two years ago, Chang Gung Hospital conducted an online survey of 998 women, and found that 90% of them were snoring, and 1% of them wanted to end their marriage. In fact, snoring as high as 80 decibels is like the horn of a motorcycle, which will not only seriously interfere with others' sleep, but also increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Doctors suggest that if habitual snoring is caused by soft palate relaxation, you can try minimally invasive stent surgery to improve it.

It is found that more than 50% adults suffer from habitual snoring, and 80% of them are related to excessive vibration of the soft palate. (Photo/Luo Huiwen) Mr. Qiu, who is about 30 years old, is a truck driver. He was very busy at work every day and fell asleep when he got home. However, due to more and more snoring, his wife who was pregnant for 5 months lost sleep. After trying to lose weight, sleep on her side and go to bed early, she turned to the sleep clinic for help.

Mr. Qiu was diagnosed as mild obstructive sleep apnea by sleep physiological examination in the sleep center of Chang Gung Hospital, and the apnea index (AHI) was 1 1.9, mainly due to excessive relaxation of the soft palate. Considering the factors such as unable to take too many days off, sore throat and bleeding that are often seen in traditional surgery, he decided to have a one-time minimally invasive snore-stopping stent operation, which only takes 20 minutes without hospitalization.

50% people habitually snore, and 80% are caused by soft palate vibration.

According to the past research of sleep center of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, more than 50% adults have the problem of "habitual snoring", and snore for more than 4 days a week, of which 80% is related to the vibration of soft palate. Due to the excessive relaxation of the soft palate, the airflow accelerates after breathing, which leads to the vibration of surrounding soft tissues and snoring.
