With years of ENT expertise, Dr. Prashobh provides personalised care, accurate diagnosis, and the right surgical approach based on your airway structure and sleep pattern.
If you’re tired of sleepless nights and want long-term relief, you can call us directly to book an appointment.
Why Do People Snore?
Snoring happens when air cannot flow smoothly through the nose or throat. This causes the surrounding tissues to vibrate, creating the snoring sound.
Common reasons include:
- Deviated septum
- Nasal blockage
- Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
- Long or vibrating soft palate
- Weak throat muscles
- Tongue falling back during sleep
- Obesity
- Sleep apnea
Identifying the right cause is the key to choosing the correct treatment.
If you’re unsure why you snore, you can speak to us. A quick consultation can help diagnose the issue.

Surgery is recommended if:
- Snoring is loud and persistent
- You experience choking, gasping, or breaks in breathing at night
- Snoring affects your partner or family
- Non-surgical treatments have not worked
- You have structural issues like enlarged tonsils or a blocked nose
