How to treat underarm hyperhidrosis? Solutions for excessive sweating

Axillary hyperhidrosis is also known as body odor. This symptom is mainly caused by bacterial growth, which causes the patient to sweat excessively in the armpits and the odor is particularly strong. As for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis, the cause of sweating can generally be found through hormones, and symptomatic treatment is very important.

1. General treatment

This method mainly uses hormones to find out the cause of sweating first. The general causes of hyperhidrosis include high temperature, stress, and emotional clearance, etc. Some patients are caused by other diseases. Once the cause of hyperhidrosis is identified, it should be eliminated in time. But if the occurrence of this disease is not caused by other diseases, the patient needs to wear cotton clothes in normal times and eat less heavy-tasting food, so as to achieve the purpose of treating the disease of axillary hyperhidrosis.

2. Surgical treatment

The main method is to remove the apocrine sweat glands through surgery, which can solve the problem of excessive sweat at one time. However, this treatment method will have certain side effects. Not only can the arm not be raised too high after the operation, but there is also a risk of infection if proper care is not taken after the operation. In addition, if the sweat glands are removed too deeply, scars will be left.

3. Botox injection

This is a new method that uses botulinum toxin as a main hormone to shrink the sweat glands and ultimately achieve the goal of removing sweat. Although this treatment method is relatively short, generally only about twenty minutes, there will be no scars after the operation, and normal activities can be resumed after the operation. However, the effect of this treatment can only last for about half a year.
