Snoring is not only about unpleasant noises coming from the bedroom! This is often a medical problem - snoring can be a symptom of apnea, which can cause depression and high blood pressure. However, you can get rid of snoring once and for all - thanks to the Celon treatment.

Snoringis caused by the vibration of the flaccid part of the palate and uvula. During sleep, the muscles of the soft palate relax, and when the body is placed on the back, the tongue retracts (collapses), the mouth opens and the nose and throat canals narrow. The air is harder and harder to squeeze into the lungs, it swirls and produces characteristic sounds. Effect - the number of inhales gradually decreases, they become shallower and shallower, which leads to disruption of the natural breathing process and hypoxia.

Snoring: severe apnea

Over time, breathing stops temporarily -sleep apnea . Apnea can be life-threatening, and snoring itself is definitely unhe althy, because a hypoxic body functions worse. Moreover, after waking up, a snorer experiences headaches, weakness, depression and fatigue. After many years, snoring may cause problems with concentration and remembering, and even weaken the libido, increase the risk of accidents and depression, lead to cardiovascular disorders, e.g. hypertension or right ventricular hypertrophy. There are many methods of eliminating snoring. We present one of the newest - Celon.

Important

  • The Japanese invented a special pillow with a microphone, which rises on one side at the sound of snoring and turns the head of the sleeping person to the side.
  • Research shows that the risk of death from a heart attack or stroke in the group of regular snorers is 3.5 times higher than in those who snore rarely or not at all.
  • Sleep laboratories (there are also in Poland) are clinics that diagnose and treat sleep disorders. At night, the patient is connected to special devices that record the processes taking place during sleep, e.g. air movement through the nose and mouth and the volume of snoring.
  • We lose 1-1.5 hours of sleep every night because of our partner's snoring. The intensity of sounds that come out of a snorer's mouth can be as high as 90 decibels, which is the same as a lawn mower …

    • Only half an hour and after the trouble

    Before the procedurethe doctor conducts a thorough interview, performs an ENT examination, and, if necessary, also a special examination to assess the degree of respiratory impairment during sleep.

    The patient must be fasted for at least 4 hours, and 2 hours before the procedure, take 2 tablets of an analgesic. After local anesthesia of the nasal turbinates and the soft palate, it is possible to perform it, that is - technically speaking - the use of Celon bipolar thermotherapy. Thanks to the use of a bipolar electrode, a unique low-temperature coagulation effect is achieved. The procedure is performed in an outpatient clinic, it is minimally invasive and bloodless. After inserting a special electrode into the soft palate, a current is passed through it - the so-called electric arc. High temperature causes that water evaporates from precisely selected palate tissues. In this way, tiny scars are formed inside it, which raise the walls of the palate upwards. The palate stiffens and does not drop anymore, even when lying on the back. The procedure takes as little as 20 to 40 minutes. Reliable and without complications Immediately after the treatment, you can immediately return to your normal activities. The throat may still have some swelling and mild pain for 3-4 days, which can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers. It's good to talk less for 2 days so as not to strain your throat. You can eat a meal after an hour, but for 5 consecutive days you should avoid hot, spicy and sharp-edged products, such as crisps or french fries. Snoring may worsen slightly during the first days of healing. After your throat has healed, you should come for a checkup. If the snapping did not stop, the procedure can always be repeated, but the practice so far shows that such situations are extremely rare - 98 percent. cases of the ailment never come back. The procedure is not paid for by the National He alth Fund.

    Advantages of the Celon system

    • there is no tissue bleeding at all during the procedure (optimal coagulation)
    • it is enough to use only local anesthesia
    • the surface of the throat remains intact after the procedure (so-called interstitial therapy)
    • the use of a bipolar electrode prevents the current from flowing through the delicate organs and tissues of the head and neck
    • The patient can return to normal activities an hour after the procedure.
    Problem

    The domain of the gentlemen, but …

    • Statistically speaking, men snore more often. It is estimated that this concerns about 70 percent. of them. But more than 25 percent of them also snore. women, especially during the menopause. In Poland, this problem concerns in generalabout 8 million adults. Most of them make annoying sounds of varying intensity, which usually fade away after changing body position during sleep.
    • If the apnea occurs more than 10 times in an hour and lasts more than 10 seconds - we are called sleep apnea syndrome. May be accompanied by sweating and bluing from hypoxia. Apnea and hypoxia resulting from snoring can lead to many diseases - respiratory, circulatory and nervous systems. Besides, snoring is a nuisance for housemates.
