Is it harmful to remove the sweat glands under the armpits?

Many people with body odor are very self-conscious and afraid that their body odor will be smelled by others and affect their image, especially for women. Many medical beauty institutions provide solutions to improve body odor to their clients. Some clients choose to directly remove the sweat glands under their arms to completely solve the problem of body odor. If you want to have an underarm excision, you need to understand whether there are any harms in removing the underarm sweat glands. Here are some introductions that you can read.

1. Overview

Armpit odor, commonly known as body odor, is not uncommon in daily life. It is caused by the secretion of yellow sweat and bacterial growth of the apocrine glands under the armpits. It can seriously affect the patient's self-confidence and communication, especially the scorching summer heat will more seriously affect the patient's mood. Because the weather is hot in summer, the patient's sweat secretion increases, so the body odor worsens. Body odor has a genetic tendency, and male patients are generally more than female patients. Now there is no special cure except surgery, and it can only be relieved through some medications.

2. Steps/Methods:

1. The most fundamental way to cure axillary odor is surgery, but surgery still has certain side effects. The first is that it is easy to relapse after surgery. Due to the operator's experience or some other reasons, the apocrine sweat glands are not cleaned, leading to recurrence. At the same time, during the operation, only the apocrine sweat glands and small sweat glands are removed, so some people will have relapses after surgery, resulting in failure of the operation.

2. Another side effect of the operation is that the epidermal cells of the armpit may be damaged during the operation, and some sweat glands may also be damaged, which will affect the sweating function of the armpit. When using laser surgery, the skin may be burned due to the operator's lack of experience.

3. After suffering from body odor, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. It is best to clean the armpit hair to reduce the growth of bacteria. At the same time, the armpits should be washed every day. Patients should pay attention to their diet and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, as this will aggravate body odor.

3. Notes:

Patients can use some medicines to treat body odor, such as Banyueqing. Just apply it after taking a bath, it can effectively prevent body odor for half a month. Although it is only a temporary solution and not a cure, it is also relatively convenient.
