Valentine’s Day is the time of year to end the “Separate Bedroom Syndrome”

February 12, 1999 - Valentine’s Day is a time of year for love, romance and togetherness.  Unfortunately, for approximately 40 million Americans who snore, this day is short-lived. Many families are forced to sleep in separate bedrooms because of the disturbing sounds of snoring. 

The “Separate Bedroom Syndrome” of sleeping in separate bedrooms was reported in a five year study of over 5000 patients.  Approximately 70% of snoring patients spend more time apart than together according to the researchers and surgeons at the Center For Corrective Surgery in Bala Cynwyd, PA. 

A new procedure applying combined laser and radiofrequency has been used to correct the source of this disturbing problem.  This procedure which is done exclusively at The Center For Corrective Surgery, is a new breakthrough not only to correct snoring and nasal congestion, but to improve individuals breathing and sleeping habits.

According to Dr. Mansoor Madani, Director of The Center For Corrective Surgery and Associate Professor or Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Temple University, “the new combined procedure is simple, effective and above all, is done in less than fifteen minutes in our center.”  Dr. Madani has treated over 3,500 patients who suffer from snoring and chronic nasal congestion using laser and radiofrequency procedures.

“Radiofrequency acts like a smart microwave, targeting the specific areas in the nose and laser targets the long and excess tissues of the throat,” explains Dr. Madani. Patients who had the treatment done were able to return to work immediately without any major discomfort or down time.  Additionally, they can breathe better, sleep better and be more energetic and alert.  Best of all, they can enjoy their life even longer with their loved ones.

Snoring is commonly a sign of a much more serious condition known as sleep apnea, when individuals literally stop breathing during the night.  According to researchers, sleep apnea is the leading cause of heart attacks and strokes during the night.

Our patients are reporting stronger and closer relationships with their spouses following their snoring treatment.  Some couples are even enjoying the newlywed feeling once again and taking second honeymoons.  Valentine’s Day is the best time of year to end snoring and rebuild and rekindle marriages. 

Incidentally, this procedure is much less expensive than a divorce.
