Sleep apnea is a common disorder that is often associated with snoring. Unlike simple snoring, in which the walls of the throat vibrate, sleep apnea causes a complete collapse of the airway, temporarily blocking the passage of air. This obstruction sends a warning signal to the brain, which immediately responds by increasing breathing rate and oxygenation, interrupting sleep.

In Turkey, there are personalized medical solutions to treat this syndrome (SAHOS). Depending on the severity of the symptoms, specialists offer customized treatments to restore restful sleep.

What is sleep apnea?

Sleep apnea is a disorder that causes involuntary pauses in breathing during sleep that last more than 10 seconds and occur several times a night. This phenomenon results in a lack of oxygen in the body, which affects the quality of rest and overall health.

Available treatments of sleep apnea in Turkey

Sleep apnea can be effectively treated with medical and surgical options at renowned clinics in Turkey at competitive prices. Learn more about the different solutions available to resolve this disorder and improve your quality of life.

Medical Therapy: CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)

One of the most common solutions for treating sleep apnea is CPAP, which involves the use of a nasal mask connected to a device that provides a constant flow of air. This treatment prevents relaxation of the upper airway and prevents pauses in breathing. Although the mask may seem uncomfortable at first, most patients adapt quickly and results are visible after evaluation by polysomnography.

Surgical therapy: phonosurgery

In some cases, surgery is needed to correct upper airway abnormalities. Phonosurgery uses advanced techniques such as laser, ultrasound, or radiofrequency to remove or modify the parts of the airway that are obstructing breathing. However, this approach often needs to be accompanied by lifestyle changes such as weight management, smoking cessation, and dietary changes to achieve the best results.

Lifestyle changes for better sleep

Here are some simple lifestyle changes that can significantly improve your sleep apnea symptoms, and may even eliminate the need for surgery in some cases:

By working with your doctor in Turkey, you can find the most effective treatment plan to manage your sleep apnea and achieve a good night's sleep.
