What causes girls to snore?

I believe everyone is familiar with the phenomenon of snoring. Many people think that men snore when they sleep. In fact, many women in life also have the habit of snoring when they sleep. So what causes women to snore? Studies have shown that this is mainly related to obesity, incorrect sleeping posture, bad living habits, and a history of nasal diseases. Here we will introduce the causes of snoring in girls.

Cause of snoring 1: Any factors that can cause airway narrowing in the nose, throat, etc. will cause snoring, such as congenital airway developmental abnormalities, deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps, thickening and congestion of nasal mucosa, tonsil hyperplasia and adenoid hyperplasia, mandibular malformation or retraction, uvula hypertrophy, drooping soft palate, tongue hypertrophy, etc.

Reason 2 for snoring: obesity. Obese patients have too much fat deposited in their necks, which is also one of the reasons for airway narrowing and snoring.

Reason 3 for snoring: sleeping posture. Some patients have no airway abnormalities during the day, but during sleep, the decreased tension in the muscles around the airway and the backward drop of the tongue when sleeping in the supine position can also cause airway narrowing and affect the smooth passage of airflow.

Reason 4 for snoring: unhealthy lifestyle habits. Drinking alcohol and taking sleeping pills such as Valium can also suppress breathing, aggravate snoring, and even induce sleep apnea. In addition, smoking can also cause upper respiratory tract inflammation and edema, and quitting smoking can reduce the risk of snoring.

After the above introduction to the causes of girls' snoring, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of snoring. Snoring brings great harm to women's health, so girls must pay attention. If the snoring is more serious, then you must go to the hospital in time to find out the cause and then treat it.
