In such cases, hyperhidrosis may be suspected. Today, at our hyperhidrosis surgery hospital, we would like to introduce SIT surgery, a surgical treatment among various hyperhidrosis treatment methods.

The main cause of sweaty hands and feet is excessive activation of the sympathetic nervous system. When the sympathetic nervous system becomes overactive, the nerve endings secrete an excessive amount of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which stimulates the sweat glands and causes excessive sweating.

The symptoms of hand and foot hyperhidrosis are excessive sweating in the hands and feet. It occurs regardless of the season, and the symptoms become worse when you are tense, stressed, or concentrating.

This often causes inconvenience in daily life, and can make ordinary activities such as shaking hands or writing difficult. It may also lead to avoiding contact with others and interfere with social life.

Most cases of localized hyperhidrosis occur because the excitability of the sympathetic nerves that control sweat secretion increases. Some patients have a family history, and the condition often worsens due to stress.

It can also occur secondarily due to tuberculosis, diabetes, congestive heart disease, hyperthyroidism, and Parkinson's disease. In these cases, sweating usually appears systemically, and if there is a disease of the spinal cord, a neurological disorder, or a brain disease, localized hyperhidrosis may occur.

To diagnose hyperhidrosis, the patient's medical history and symptoms are checked, and a physical examination and nerve conduction test are performed.

During the physical examination, the amount of sweat secretion is measured, and the dryness and degree of keratinization of the skin are checked. The nerve conduction test is an examination that evaluates the function of the sympathetic nerves involved in sweat secretion, and it is performed before surgery, playing an important role in predicting surgical results.

An accurate diagnosis of hyperhidrosis is very important in determining the treatment method. This is because the treatment differs depending on the type and severity of hyperhidrosis.

If hyperhidrosis is secondary hyperhidrosis caused by another disease, the underlying disease must be treated first.

At our hyperhidrosis surgery hospital, bromhidrosis, which causes many inconveniences for patients, can be treated in a short period of time using the specialized bromhidrosis surgery method called 'SIT surgery.'

SIT surgery was developed as a treatment for bromhidrosis and is a good surgical method that can broadly remove even hyperhidrosis.

Removing sweat glands ultimately means cutting out the sweat glands themselves, and SIT surgery uses a small but very sharp knife to pass under the skin and thoroughly remove the subcutaneous sweat glands over a very wide area.

SIT surgery, developed as a treatment for bromhidrosis, is a procedure that can also improve hyperhidrosis, and the key point is the removal of sweat glands.

Because the surgical blade used in SIT surgery is small, there is no need for large skin incisions, which means scars can be kept very minimal. In addition, it can treat a wider area than traditional incision methods, resulting in a lower recurrence rate than incision-based surgery.

Recovery is also one of its advantages. In the case of excision methods, which remove the sweat gland tissue itself, a 4 to 5 cm skin incision is made, leaving a large scar, and the recovery period involves wearing a compression bandage for about 10 to 15 days. In comparison, SIT surgery requires a compression bandage for only 3 days after surgery, shortening the recovery period.

If you are considering a hyperhidrosis surgery hospital, we hope you will consider improvement through the SIT surgical method, which has a low rate of side effects and recurrence. However, please do not forget that you must make the right treatment decision through sufficient consultation with a specialist.

If you are worried about hyperhidrosis or bromhidrosis, please feel free to contact Kim Heon-gon Plastic Surgery Bromhidrosis Clinic, a hyperhidrosis surgery hospital, at any time.

Thank you.
