Has anyone ever had the ets surgery(hyperhidrosis)?
HYPERHIDROSIS





Yes, ets can make one to sweat all over.


You can do the following things for your problem





1.- SELF-CARE FOR HYPERHIDROSIS


You can do a number of things on your own to reduce sweating. The following suggestions may help:





a.- Use OTC foot powders to help absorb sweat.





b.- Choose shoes and socks made of natural materials.


- Shoes made of natural materials, such as leather, can help prevent sweaty feet by allowing your feet to breathe.





c.- Rotate your shoes.


- Shoes won't completely dry overnight, so try not to wear the same pair two days in a row if you have trouble with sweaty feet.





d.- Wear the right socks.


- Cotton and wool socks help keep your feet dry because they absorb moisture.


- When you're active, moisture-wicking athletic socks are a good choice.





e.- Air your feet.


- Go barefoot when you can, or at least slip out of your shoes now and then.





f.- Choose natural-fiber clothing.


- Wear natural fabrics, such as cotton, wool and silk, which allow your skin to breathe.


- When you exercise, you might prefer high-tech fabrics that wick moisture away from your skin.





g.- Apply antiperspirants nightly.


- At bedtime, apply antiperspirants to sweaty palms or soles of the feet.


- Try perfume-free antiperspirants.





h.- Try relaxation techniques.


- Consider relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation or biofeedback.


- These can help you learn to control the stress that triggers perspiration.





i.- Change your diet.


If foods or beverages cause you to sweat more than usual, consider eliminating caffeinated drinks from your diet as well as foods with strong odors, such as garlic and onions.

2.- TREATMENT OF HYPERHIDROSIS





a.- For some people who sweat excessively, the answer may be simple: an over-the-counter (OTC) antiperspirant.


- Antiperspirants block your sweat ducts with aluminum salts, thereby reducing the amount of perspiration that reaches your skin.


Although you may have heard stories linking antiperspirants and breast cancer, there's no evidence of such a link.


Antiperspirants can cause irritation or even contact dermatitis — red, swollen, itchy skin.


In fact, antiperspirants are the cosmetic product most associated with skin irritation.


If OTC products aren't strong enough, your doctor may suggest a prescription antiperspirant.





For more severe problems with sweating, he or she may recommend other treatments, including:





b.- Iontophoresis.


- In this procedure, a dermatologist uses a battery-powered device to deliver a low current of electricity to the affected area.


- Although iontophoresis is painless and quite safe, it may be no more effective than a topical antiperspirant.





c.- Botulinum toxin (Botox).


- This is the same product that helps smooth facial wrinkles by paralyzing certain muscles.


- Researchers have discovered that Botox injections are also an effective way to treat severe hyperhidrosis by blocking the nerves that trigger the sweat glands.


- Botox isn't a cure-all, however.


- It may take several injections to achieve the desired results, the treatment can be painful, and the results last only about four months.





d.- Anticholinergic drugs.


- If you have generalized sweating, your doctor may prescribe an anticholinergic drug such as glycopyrrolate (Robinul, Robinul Forte).


- Anticholinergics work by blocking the actions of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger in your body that helps to stimulate your sweat glands, among other things.


- Signs and symptoms generally improve in about two weeks.


- But because acetylcholine acts on a number of different structures in your body, not just your sweat glands, it can have various side effects. These are generally mild. They may include


dry mouth,


constipation,


blurry vision,


urinary retention,


loss of taste,


dizziness and confusion.


If you experience diarrhea, rash or hives, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, seek prompt medical help, as these may signal a more serious problem.
