Contact UsABOUT SLEEP APNEA AND SNORING
At Tru Male, our philosophy toward helping our clients achieve the best version of themselves includes understanding the many factors that contribute to poor health and sexual dysfunction. We all know nothing beats a good night's sleep and snoring can become a serious issue for you and your significant other. Snoring occurs when there is an obstruction or narrowing of the airway during sleep. This can be due to factors such as relaxed throat muscles, excess throat tissue, or nasal congestion. Snoring itself may not lead to serious health problems. However, it can disrupt sleep for both the snorer and their partner, potentially leading to daytime fatigue and irritability along with a lack of intimacy which can lead to a host of related issues including:
- Disturbed Sleep: Loud and persistent snoring can lead to interrupted or poor-quality sleep for the non-snoring partner. Sleep disturbances can result in daytime fatigue, irritability, and decreased emotional closeness, potentially affecting intimacy.
- Frustration and Resentment: The partner who is constantly disturbed by snoring may experience frustration or resentment over time, especially if it leads to chronic sleep deprivation.
- Communication Issues: Constant disturbances during sleep may lead to communication breakdowns between partners, as the non-snoring partner may become increasingly frustrated or reluctant to address the issue.
- Sleeping Separately: In extreme cases, partners may choose to sleep in separate beds or rooms to mitigate the impact of snoring on their sleep quality. While this may address the sleep disturbance, it can potentially lead to a decrease in physical closeness and intimacy. It's important to recognize that the impact of snoring on intimacy varies among individuals and couples.
Some partners may find effective ways to cope with snoring, such as using earplugs, white noise machines, or exploring treatment options for the snorer. Open communication and a willingness to address the issue together can be crucial in maintaining a healthy relationship.
Sleep Apnea:
Sleep apnea is characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is caused by the collapse of the upper airway. Central sleep apnea (CSA) is less common and occurs when the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe.
Associated Medical Issues:
- Cardiovascular Problems: Sleep apnea has been linked to hypertension, heart disease, and stroke.
- Type 2 Diabetes: There is an increased risk of developing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
- Weight Gain: Obesity is a significant risk factor for sleep apnea.
- Daytime Fatigue and Cognitive Impairment: Sleep apnea can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, and memory issues.
- Mood Disorders: Increased risk of depression and anxiety.
- Increased Mortality Risk: Severe untreated sleep apnea has been associated with an increased risk of mortality.
- Those who snore are at an increased risk for sleep apnea and may experience such troublesome symptoms as chronic fatigue, morning headaches, irritability, high blood pressure, and intimacy issues.

Tru Male Medical Reviews
I was hesitant at first, out right scared even. What made an initial big difference was within the first 2 visits I knew the staff / team were on my side. I was pretty low on the ED scale - which means not good - but my nurse practicioner Kelly said, "Don't worry. We have alot of ways to make this work. We are going to make it happen." I think that statement is one of the keys to success. My treatment has very much been for me as the individual; at the same time the staff shares what has worked with others, as much as can. I am doing a 1-year treatment program. Within my first month of treatment I had successful penetration. Within my first 2 months of treatment, my girlfriend and I had one of the best sex nights a person could ask for. Yes again everyone is different, be patient, stay the course, but my testimony is true. I'm now 4+ months into treatment. From my experience, here are some keys: 1) Be outright honest with your partner - "honesty is the best policy", lol. In this case it's true. The unquestioned full support I have makes all the difference. If you're partner isn't 100% supportive then you're probably not with the right person (Sorry :/). There's no doubt this is tough - we are sticking our necks out and deserve to be appreciated for it. 2) The Tru-Male staff. Kelly rocks it. She's a blast to work with. She's my therapist. Rosa at the front desk is awesome. She is so supportive; she's a good listener and has a ton of good advice. Danielle has been there for me the whole time. She helped me get things started and has been a cornerstone to success. I've had appointments with Rodney - he's awesome for sure. Everyone is so professional. They are all friends to me; they're definitely invited to my wedding some years down the road. What a table that'll be :) 3) How do we keep this going? That's a good question. Stick with your program. Don't slide on your part (most iomportant) of the therapy. Have faith. 4) Try to relax. Have faith in life. Love your partner. Love those around you.
" Absolutely no..........you guys make things simple and easy and also work with my schedule. The lady at the front desk is warm and friendly. Easy payment plan. It feels like people care and also will be blunt. "
" Hey Chuck, the appointment was great. Kelly is amazing. She educated me on various important things and explained your program and process thoroughly. The staff made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. And I was in and out in a fairly fast time for being my first time there. I loved the experience. "
" It was a great appointment. Everyone is so friendly and I was in and out quickly. "
" Great day yesterday. Rodney is the best. He takes very good care of me. He is attentive and very professional. What I like the best is he explains all that he is doing in great detail. Being someone that does his research, I appreciate his explanations and online references to consult and read. "

HOW DOES NIGHTLASE WORK?
The advanced NightLase treatment is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical option to open up the tight airway in the back of the throat, which can cause snoring and sleep apnea. To begin your treatment, our team will have you relax in one of our private procedure rooms. The NightLase laser will be directed to target the inner tissues of the mouth, opening up the space between the soft palate and the tongue over a series of several sessions. You should not require too much downtime directly following your sessions, and you should begin to notice a decrease in the intensity and duration of your snoring, as well as an improvement in your sleeping patterns.
