Same as in men: Anatomy of throat, sinuses, any positional obstructions, alcohol, overweight, apnea, etc. Here's a good bit of info: http://www.Mayoclinic.Org/diseases-conditions/snoring/basics/causes/con-20031874 best!

A lot of things: Among the causes are obstructive sleep apnea, narrowed upper aeradigestive tract, excessive mucus below the soft palate. And other things. Please consult with an ENT specialist to determine the cause. This problem is the same for both sexes.
