Hello, everyone^^

Many people struggle with excessive sweating even in winter. In particular, when there is a lot of sweating in the underarm area, clothes can become damp and unpleasant odors may cause difficulties in social interactions.

People with hyperhidrosis not only experience discomfort in daily life, but may also lose confidence and develop depression. Therefore, it is important to actively look for ways to remove sweat odor, and if necessary, seek help from a specialist.

Today, we will look at ways to remove sweat odor, as well as the causes of hyperhidrosis and SIT surgery, one of its treatment options.

Even in cold weather, some people still have an unpleasant odor from the underarm area. This condition is generally called bromhidrosis, and it occurs when sweat secreted by the apocrine glands combines with bacteria.

So why does sweat cause odor in winter?

First, because the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is large in winter, sweat production can increase. In cold weather, people often wear thick clothes and stay for long periods in heated indoor spaces.

This raises body temperature and causes sweating as moisture in the body evaporates. Since the underarm is a folded area of skin, ventilation is difficult, creating an environment where bacteria can multiply easily.

Second, dry air can also cause body odor. In winter, humidity drops and the skin is more likely to become dry. This increases dead skin buildup and can clog pores, preventing sweat from being properly discharged and causing it to accumulate. Accumulated sweat can combine with bacteria and decompose, producing an unpleasant odor.

Lastly, stress and irregular eating habits are also factors that can worsen sweat odor. When stress increases, the hormone cortisol is released, which increases sweat production, and eating high-calorie foods or drinking alcohol can increase waste products in the body and worsen body odor.

For people suffering from excessive sweating and odor due to bromhidrosis or hyperhidrosis, surgical treatment may be helpful.

Among these, SIT surgery for sweat odor removal is a recently developed minimally invasive surgical method that is drawing attention because it has many advantages over existing surgical methods.

SIT surgery for sweat odor removal is the first surgically developed treatment method for bromhidrosis and hyperhidrosis in Korea. It is performed by removing sweat glands through a small opening using a specially designed suction device.

• Small incision: SIT surgery can be performed with an incision of only about 3 mm, so it leaves almost no scar.

• Fast recovery: The operation takes less than an hour, and patients can return to daily life in about 3 to 5 days after surgery.

• High success rate: The recurrence rate is low, at less than 2%, resulting in high satisfaction.

To remove sweat odor, it is important to maintain clean living habits and improve eating habits, and if necessary, it is advisable to receive appropriate treatment with the help of a specialist.

And if hyperhidrosis or bromhidrosis is severe, treatments such as SIT surgery can be considered. Through this, discomfort caused by sweat odor can be relieved and confidence restored.

However, because the severity and causes of symptoms differ from person to person, it is important to listen to the advice of a medical professional and find the appropriate way to respond.
