How Does Thorascopic Sympathectomy Benefit You?

Have you been tolerating your excessive sweating thinking there is no permanent solution? Or maybe you're just used to the routine of ruined clothes, frequent showers, and gobs of deodorant. There is a remedy with proven effectiveness, and it's worth your consideration. It's thorascopic sympathectomy which is a minimally invasive method for permanent solution to an excessive sweating problem.

Maybe you've already tried numerous solutions and think here's another treatment to withstand. But, unlike other methods which only treat the symptoms, thorascopic sympathectomy is one that actually gets to the underlying cause of hyperhidrosis. It's worth your time to consider discussing this option with a thoracic surgeon, and experts can be found at La Peer's Hyperhidrosis Center of Excellence.

How Does the Procedure Help You?

The sympathetic nerve chain emits signals to sweat glands, and if these signals are hyperactive, excessive sweating results. The nerves are located in the thoracic outlet (chest cavity) region of the body between the collarbone and ribs which is why a thoracic surgeon is best qualified to perform the procedure.

Thorascopic sympathectomy does not take long and is actually performed an an outpatient basis. The surgeon accesses the sympathetic nerves through a very small incision in the thoracic area and cuts the nerves responsible for sweat production. After a short recovery, you can return home on the same day and celebrate your liberation from excessive sweating.

Whether your hyperhidrosis problem was sweaty armpits, face, hands, or feet, thorascopic sympathectomy resolves it making it an ideal solution for many people.

End Excessive Underarm Sweating with miraDry

If you’ve tried and failed with a succession of products for your excessive underarm sweating, then miraDry could be your salvation. One of the most innovative products on the market, miraDry utilizes electromagnetic energy to eliminate underarm sweat glands permanently.

Only a selected number of physicians are qualified to administer miraDry and among them is Dr. Ali Mahtabifard, Medical Director of the Hyperhidrosis Center of Excellence with La Peer Health Systems in Los Angeles. Dr. Mahtabifard is a board-certified thoracic surgeon who has helped numerous patients find relief from excessive sweating.

What Causes Excessive Sweating?

Excessive sweating is medically known as hyperhidrosis, and if the condition is affecting the underarms, it’s referred to as auxiliary hyperhidrosis. Sometimes there is no medically sound reason why a person suffers from hyperhidrosis, but for others, the condition could be attributed to nerve signals triggering excessive sweating.

The benefit with miraDry rests in its ability to eliminate sweat glands within two one-hour sessions. For most patients, sweat production is reduced by 82% and a permanent end to the frustration and embarrassment endured for years.

The Miracle of miraDry

miraDry is a non-invasive FDA-approved method that uses electromagnetic energy to eliminate sweat glands. There is no downtime with the product, and patients usually experience immediate results. Typical reactions to treatment include localized soreness and swelling, but these are normal and clear up in a few weeks. miraDry is suitable only for underarms, not for hyperhidrosis of the hands, feet, or face.

Are Your Medications Causing Hyperhidrosis?

The majority of hyperhidrosis cases are organic. There's a medical reason for excessive sweating whether it's on the face, hands, armpits, feet, or groin. However, there's the chance that you could be taking medication known to send sweat glands into hyperactivity. Consulting a board-certified thoracic physician is the ideal way to find out the cause of your hyperhidrosis. One of the most renowned places for help is the Hyperhidrosis Center of Excellence. Physicians at the Center are renowned experts in the thoracic field providing sophisticated diagnostic methods and advanced medical solutions.

Medicines to Avoid

Excessive sweating is often caused by overproduction of sweat glands controlled by the sympathetic nerve chain. Only a thorough examination by a thoracic surgeon can confirm the root cause of your hyperhidrosis.

Part of your examination will include a review of your medical history. If you are taking medications, your doctor might identify one or several prescriptions as the reason for your excessive sweating.

The types of medication most likely to provoke hyperhidrosis include: Diabetes Thyroid High blood pressure Antidepressants

For your first meeting with the specialist, you should be prepared to share medication history in case your condition is caused by something other than nerves.

Genetically, hyperhidrosis is a physiological disorder which can be passed along to other generations so if a family member suffers from the condition, or was successfully treated for it, you might want to check with a specialist.

Does Hyperhidrosis Lead to Body Odor?

We typically associate perspiration with body odor so it is logical to assume that individuals diagnosed with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) might also have problems with body odor. It might surprise you to know that hyperhidrosis doesn't trigger offensive body odor, but instead, it could actually help to eliminate it!

Bacteria is the culprit behind body odor, and through perspiration, our bodies wash away grime and bacteria. While it might be reassuring that excessive sweating could in fact perform a useful function, the disadvantage of hyperhidrosis outweighs any advantages. Ridding yourself of the social stigma and embarrassment of slippery hands, glistening face, and underarm stains is preferable. The best way to treat the condition is with the help of hyperhidrosis doctors such as the experts at the Hyperhidrosis Center of Excellence who have over 25 years of combined experience.

Battle Body Odor

If you're concerned that hyperhidrosis could lead to body odor, there are several preventive measures that you can take:

Keep your clothing impeccably clean Eliminate or reduce spicy foods from your diet Bathe or shower with antibacterial soap Dry off thoroughly with a fresh towel

You'll reduce the amount of bacteria on your skin and avoid offensive body odor. Then, apply a deodorant high in aluminum chloride and body odor won't have a chance!

Will Your Hyperhidrosis Just Go Away?

If you're among the 1% to 3% of the U.S. population suffering from hyperhidrosis, you might be hoping that you will “grow out” of the condition. Unfortunately, it is an inconvenient and socially embarrassing medical condition best treated by a doctor who specializes in this disorder. A board-certified thoracic physician is the medical specialty most qualified to help you. The Hyperhidrosis Center of Excellence includes two doctors who are renowned experts in the field and offer progressive treatments that minimize or even end excessive sweating.

How a Thoracic Surgeon Helps You

The thoracic outlet, which is located in the upper chest region of the body, houses the sympathetic nerve chain, a set of nerves that controls sweat glands. You could consider it a master terminal terminal sending nerve signals regulating perspiration. If the nerve chain is malfunctioning, it can affect excessive sweating in the palms, face, underarms, groin or feet.

While hyperhidrosis can be provoked for another reason, often it's the sympathetic nerve chain creating the problem. This explains why you should consult with a thoracic surgeon for the best treatment options.

One of the most effective treatments to consider is thorascopic sympathectomy, a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. This method treats the source of your excessive sweating, the nerve chain, and is effective on all the different varieties of hyperhidrosis.

Thorascopic sympathectomy is a universal remedy no matter the type of hyperhidrosis – face, underarms, hands, feet, or groin.

All the advantages of this treatment serve to minimize its one downside – compensatory sweating, perspiration on another part of the body.

An example of patient education at its best, can be found at La Peer's Hyperhidrosis Center of Excellence. Physicians and staff work closely with patients guiding them throughout the treatment process.

Steps to Help Compensatory Sweating

Thorascopic sympathectomy is one of the most effective methods to eliminate a hyperhidrosis problem with relief from sweaty armpits to feet, and it's an ideal solution for many people.

How Does Botox Treat Hyperhidrosis?

The general consensus about Botox focuses on the nerve toxin's prowess as a cosmetic treatment. However, the medical industry is discovering new roles for the drug, and one of those alternative uses is Botox for sweaty armpits. Excessive sweating of the armpits or axillary hyperhidrosis is a disruptive and embarrassing condition endured by over a million individuals. The beauty of the treatment has to do with its duration as the treatment lasts approximately six months, and this is certainly better than daily doses of extra strength antiperspirant. It also helps that the FDA approved Botox for axillary hyperhidrosis in 2004.

Botox for excessive sweating is best administered by a physician who specializes in hyperhidrosis problems. One of the most prominent facilities in hyperhidrosis solutions is La Peer's Hyperhidrosis Center of Excellence. The doctors at La Peer offer several effective treatment options, and Botox injections is one of the most popular.

What Makes Botox Effective for Sweaty Armpits?

Just as Botox immobilizes wrinkles, it does the same for sweat glands. There are tiny muscles in glands that control sweat production; Botox prevents the muscles from functioning to result in reduced sweat production.

Injecting Botox into your sensitive underarms may not be a pleasant feeling, but the sensation doesn't last long; plus, patients are numbed for the procedure. It takes four injections of Botox under each arm to desensitize sweat glands. The entire procedure takes 30 which certainly is worth the six months of relief from ruined clothing, embarrassment, and expensive dry cleaning.

Before making a final treatment decision, a discussion with your doctor about the benefits and side effects is recommend. The physicians at the Hyperhidrosis Center of Excellence are advocates of patient education, and so patients can make informed decisions about their medical care.

Best Treatment for Sweaty Feet

If you suffer from excessive sweating on the palms of your hand, you could also have a secondary condition plantar hyperhidrosis which is excessive sweating of the feet. Often sweaty hands and sweaty feet gang up together for a double dose of hyperhidrosis.

While you might consider sweaty palms a greater worry, you can't ignore the problem with your feet. A consultation with a hyperhidrosis expert will explain the serious medical conditions including bacterial and fungal infections that can develop. The specialists at the Hyperhidrosis Center of Excellence will recommend the best treatment plan for you, and it could include iontopheresis, a popular non-invasive method for the feet.

How the Treatment Works

The fact that iontopheresis has been around for 50 years is an indicator of its popularity and success. It's a conservative method that uses a water bath device to generate electric currents around the feet. A light film of ionized matter is created and as it circulates around the feet, it affects the sweat ducts.

The treatment begins with several 10-20 minute sessions during the first few weeks then once it takes effect, treatment can taper off to only one session every one to three weeks. There is no pain with iontopheresis and a doctor can even prescribe the device so treatments can be done at home.

The Best Antiperspirant for Sweaty Armpits

If excessive sweating of the underarms has you constantly in terror over embarrassing sweat stains or ruined clothing, it's controlling your life. Why not take control of the problem and consider ways to solve it. You probably have tried numerous over the counter remedies such as deodorants that promise 24-hour protection and wetness control only to be disappointed by constant failure. It's time for you to seek medical advice from experts who can explain your condition and offer more effective ways to treat it.

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating and the underarm condition is referred to as axillary hyperhidrosis. Sweat glands are controlled by the sympathetic nerve chain which is located in the thoracic region of the upper chest. The type of doctor best suited to treat hyperhidrosis is a thoracic surgeon, and Dr. Ali Mahtabifard of the Hyperhidrosis Center of Excellence is one of most qualified within this specialty.

Effective Sweat Fighting Ingredient

Regular antiperspirants do not have enough of the sweat fighting ingredient, aluminum chloride hexahydrate, to manage axillary hyperhidrosis. This clinical strength antiperspirant is only available with a prescription and applied under doctor's instructions.

For optimum protection, the antiperspirant is typically applied two to three nights in a row before bedtime. Then it can be used once a week for continued effectiveness. The product has limited functional use since it is designed only for underarms. Another treatment is required if you have excessive sweating in another part of the body.
