Sweat no more: The Permanent solution for Hyperhidrosis

Understanding Hyperhidrosis

In today’s globalized world, where appearances and first impressions matter greatly, it is distressing to see that many young people struggle with a condition known as Hyperhidrosis. This disorder involves excessive sweating in areas like the palms, feet, and armpits, and can have a profound effect on one's self-esteem, often leading to feelings of depression and social withdrawal. While various treatment options exist, surgery has emerged as the most effective and permanent solution, according to Dr. Shivaprasad, a Consultant in Laparoscopic and Thoracoscopic Surgery at Aster RV Hospital. One such procedure, the Endoscopic Trans-thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS), is frequently performed at the hospital and has proven to be life-changing for many, helping them regain confidence. Hyperhidrosis is a non-physiological condition where excessive sweating occurs without the influence of physical activity or heat. It is typically caused by overactivity of the sympathetic nerve chain, which sends involuntary signals from the brain to different body parts.

Types of Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis can be classified into two types: primary (idiopathic) and secondary (resulting from an underlying medical condition). The condition most commonly affects adolescents, who face particular challenges in social and professional settings. Sweating, particularly in the palms, feet, and armpits, can be uncontrollable and distressing. For these individuals, physical discomfort is just the beginning; the condition can also lead to social embarrassment and professional setbacks. People with Hyperhidrosis may find it difficult to engage in normal social behaviors, such as shaking hands or hugging, due to the persistent wetness of their hands. Additionally, the continuous sweating, especially in the armpits, can lead to an awkward, self-conscious feeling, further diminishing self-confidence. Professions requiring fine motor skills, such as electricians, gym instructors, or musicians, may also present additional difficulties, as slippery hands can disrupt their work. For some, these challenges are so overwhelming that they leave their jobs and experience depression. Although treatments like oral medications (e.g., oxybutynin, steroids, and antidepressants) can help, they often come with unpleasant side effects, including dry eyes, mouth, corneal ulcers, and even addiction. Other therapies like Botox injections or Iontophoresis may offer temporary relief but do not address the underlying issue, meaning symptoms often resurface.

For individuals looking for a permanent solution to Hyperhidrosis, hope is found in the form of a revolutionary procedure offered by Dr. Shivaprasad Giliyar Srinivasa. Known for his expertise in treating Hyperhidrosis, Dr. Shivaprasad offers the Endoscopic Trans-thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS) surgery.
