Hyperhidrosis Surgery - Is It Worth It?
If you've contemplated taking Hyperhidrosis surgery, chances are you have one of the more severe cases of Hyperhidrosis. I understand the feeling of helplessness when antiperspirants and various other treatments are just not enough to solve the problem. If this is the route you're considering, you had best be well informed as the results will be permanent, good or bad. Hopefully this will provide you with some more insight if this is the path you're considering taking.
Hyperhidrosis surgery is otherwise known as Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy or ETS for short. This process involves making an incision in your back, inserting a small camera in the incision, through your rib cages in the search for your sympathetic nerves near your underarm. These nerves are responsible for telling your sweat glands to sweat. Unfortunately if you have Hyperhidrosis, these nerves are working on overdrive and a little too trigger happy. The solution? Destroy the nerves. Yes, it is permanent, once they are destroyed, you will not be sweating much from your underarms ever again. You may be thinking this is excellent news now, but it's not as great as it sounds.
You see, with Hyperhidrosis surgery, there is the possibility of compensatory sweating. This is excessive sweating of the back or abdomen usually in response to the destruction of the nerves near the underarm. Some people find this just as annoying as the underarm sweating and thus regert every having surgery in the first place. Granted the percent of people who experience this is small, it is worth noting as this treatment method is irreverasable.
