Surgical remedy for perspiration?

Question

Most doctors say that there's nothing they can do about excessive sweating due to innately hypersensitive/hyeractive sweat gland. I think they mean it within the limits of medications.
I'd like to know if there's a surgical help for excessive sweating? I heard that surgery for this kind of problem has not so funny side-effects, and there's no going back if the surgery goes wrong because nerves that control sweat glands are surgically cut.
Or is there alterative medicine?
I am a Chinese male in early 30s.
Any doctors or person out there who know about this kind of issue?

i am not talking about armpit sweating, but overall body over sweating.

Answer 1

Surgical treatment for hyperhidrosis is possible for the upper extremities. The reason this is possible is that the nerves which stimulate upper extremity sweat glands are collected together in a specific location which can be accessed.

The nerves that stimulate sweat glands are called "sympathetic nerves". The sympathetic system sends out nerve fibers from a series of connecting organs called "ganglia" which are daisy-chained together along the side of the spine. From inside the chest, along the inner aspect of the spine, and near where the ribs connect, the sympathetic ganglia are covered over by only the thin translucent layer called the pleura, which is the smooth coating against which the lungs rub inside the chest with the motion of breathing. The operation to sympathetically denervate the upper extremity involves chest entry (usually with a tiny incision and a thin scope) identification of the sympathetic chain, and then division of the nerves going to the upper extremity. Division of nerves below the level of the "stellate ganglion" is avoided because key nerves to the internal organs eminate below this level. For this reason, the deactivation of sweat glands only occurs above the chest.

Hyperhidrosis or excessive armpit sweating is caused by many factors but there are even many cures and treatments. The first requirement is that be it men or women patients all have to shave the axillary hair. Excessive underarm sweating is caused by the over stimulation of sweat glands by the autonomic nerves. Sweaty armpit also causes emotional stress, social isolation and changes in clothing. Many people log on to curesweatypalms saying stop my underarm sweating. Curesweatypalms provides complete solution and cure to stop sweating under the arms. These include antiperspirants, oral medications, iontophoresis, botox treatment and surgery. Surgery to stop sweating under the arms is very effective. Surgery can completely prevent armpit sweating along with excessive sweating in other parts of the body. Patients suffering from sweating armpits are given injections of botox as it blocks the release of the chemical responsible for stimulating the sweat glands, which is called acetycholine. The result can be seen within two days and the treatment of botox to stop armpit sweating is repeated within 6 months. Many people say stop my underarm sweating but they fail to realize that a proper doctor and good facilities and machinery is what they require for best results. An inexperienced or under qualified doctor can actually worsen armpit sweating rather than curing it.

YES..there is already a surgical way to help you with oversweating BUT of the armpits. I already seen patients undergo this procedure.You can ask a plastic surgeon in your place for this. It is only under local anesthesia. And so far, patients are okay. As long as you get the right doctor who has expertise on this, maybe it will work for you. And before you undergo, you must be sure you are well informed by the doctor.Hope this helps. God bless!
