Teen axillary odor refers to a condition in which an abnormality in the sweat glands of the underarm area causes a distinctive odor. It is related to sweat glands called apocrine glands.

Apocrine glands become more active after puberty, and the sweat they secrete combines with bacteria to produce an unpleasant odor. This phenomenon has a strong genetic component, and if there is someone in the family with axillary odor, the likelihood of developing it is higher.

In East Asia, it occurs in about 10% of the population, but recently its incidence has been increasing due to Westernized eating habits and changes in living environments.

Teen axillary odor not only causes inconvenience in daily life, but can also affect interpersonal relationships, so active treatment is recommended. However, adolescence is a period of continued growth, so sufficient consultation with a specialist is necessary before deciding on surgical treatment.

SIT surgery, one of the representative procedures for removing underarm odor in teen axillary odor cases, is an operation that removes sweat glands using specially designed instruments through a small opening. It has the advantage of a small incision area and quick recovery, so it is also widely performed as surgery for teen axillary odor.

<SIT surgery treatment process>

1. A small opening is made in the underarm.

2. Sweat glands are removed using specially designed instruments. At this time, it is important to remove the sweat glands while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.

3. The removed sweat glands are checked.

<SIT surgery treatment features>

• Because a thin suction tube is used, there is less scarring and a low recurrence rate.

• Because sympathetic nerve cutting is not performed, compensatory hyperhidrosis does not occur.

• The surgery time is relatively short, at about 1 hour.

• Hospitalization is not required, and discharge is possible on the day of surgery.

• A compression bandage must be worn for 3 to 5 days, after which showering is possible.

Due to these technical features, SIT surgery can be a good option for adolescent axillary odor patients.

SIT surgery is a procedure specialized for treating teen axillary odor, with the advantages of a low recurrence rate and a short recovery period. In addition, because it is performed under local anesthesia, teenagers can undergo the surgery without much burden.

If you are concerned about your child's underarm odor, why not consider SIT surgery? It may be a way to help restore your child's confidence.
