What are the various medical treatments available to help me stop snoring?

Always first see a doctor for professional guidance.
Some of the options she or he may recommend include:

A CPAP

(continuous positive airway pressure) device. This minimally intrusive device is worn as a mask and introduces continuous air into your airway. Apart from the obvious added benefits of increased oxygen entering your system, this introduced air helps inflate the throat and this translates to clearer breathing for exhausted air. Less or no vibration in other words, and that means a quieter night for your partner!

Stiffen the palate

You may wish to look at another procedure which is not so intrusive for the third of your life that you spend sleeping: Three tiny polyester strips are inserted to stiffen the palate, and this may help reduce vibration that causes most snoring. It’s just a local anaesthetic to the palate by your doctor, and you will not see or feel the strips once they are embedded.

Laster treatment

Then there’s laser treatment. This is performed under a general anaesthetic. This technique shortens the uvula and smooths out parts of your soft palate. Mixed results, but with some statistics revealing that the greater percentage of those that undergo this treatment reported after a year that there was a decline in their snoring. (Some surgeons prefer to use an electrode rather than laser to burn away parts of the uvula).

Radio frequency

Another procedure is the use of radio frequency to scar the soft palate. This has the affect of stiffening it.

Palatopharyngoplasty

A more invasive surgical procedure to reduce or eliminate snoring is known as palatopharyngoplasty. This allows more room by enlarging the throat. The surgeon will remove your tonsils and parts of your uvula and soft palate. Quite positive results from this procedure apparently, but talk to your surgeon about the effectiveness or search the net.

Jaw surgery

And of course there’s repositioning jaw surgery; nasal reconstructive surgery; and also tracheotomy where the obstruction is bypassed.

Nasal strips

…and a pretty simple solution which may help: Nasal strips. These simply are bands of plastic encased in adhesive and are placed across the nose. They in affect lift the sides of the nose and as such enable more air to enter. Non prescription.
