Description: Hyperhidrosis Relief Is Possible!

Hyperhidrosis Relief Is Possible!

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by abnormally increased sweating, which is more than necessary to regulate body temperature. Although it is primarily a physical burden, hyperhidrosis can impair quality of life psychologically, emotionally, and socially.

Symptoms

Depending where on your body you experience hyperhidrosis will determine your symptoms. Typically, symptoms include:

Excess sweat on your palms, hands, underarms, face
Some patients may experience extreme blushing on their face

Triggering Factors

Maintaining eye contact
Making presentation
Exposure to hot weather
Spicy foods
Stress

What Causes Hyperhidrosis?

In many cases, hyperhidrosis has no obvious cause and is thought to be the result of a problem with the part of the nervous system that controls sweating. This is known as primary hyperhidrosis.

Patients with secondary hyperhidrosis, such as those caused by pregnancy, anxiety, or low blood sugar, should first seek treatment from their doctor. If their treatment is unsuccessful, they may consider consulting with us for further assistance.

Endoscopic Thoracic Symphatectomy (ETS) Surgery For Excessive Sweating

Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy is a procedure aiming to decrease sweating in certain areas that have excessive sweating.

ETS surgery through clipping solves problems such as over sweating on the face, hands, underarms and feet as well as blushing.

ETS surgery limits or prevents the neurotransmission which causes sweating by placing clips above and under the sympathetic ganglion. The surgery is conducted for the both sides of the chest in the same session.

Preop Tests

Breathing and heart check-up
Lab tests
Lung Chest X-Ray
Electrocardiograph (Cardiology consultation if necessary)
Internal medicine consultation for secondary hyperhidrosis

ETS Surgery Success Rate

Success rates of clipping or cutting are equal and they are listed below

Sweating of the face, blushing, 95 – 99%
Sweating of hands, 90 – 95%
Sweating of underarms, 95%
Sweating of feet, 50%
