Hyperhidrosis is a phenomenon in which excessive sweating occurs due to an overreaction in nerve transmission.

Depending on the cause and pattern of sweating, it is classified as either localized or generalized hyperhidrosis, and when there is a lot of sweating in the underarms, it is classified as localized hyperhidrosis.

It occurs continuously regardless of the season, and in severe cases it can interfere with social life or cause psychological stress.

Bromhidrosis, on the other hand, is a condition in which the secretions of the apocrine glands among the sweat glands in the underarms are broken down by bacteria, producing fatty acids and ammonia and causing an unpleasant odor.

It mainly occurs in adults after puberty and has a strong hereditary predisposition with a family history.

Both conditions can cause inconvenience in daily life and may require active treatment.

SIT surgery for getting rid of underarm sweat odor is one of the representative surgical methods that can treat underarm hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis at the same time.

Unlike sympathectomy, it does not directly remove nerves; instead, it is a treatment method that suppresses the secretion of neurotransmitters by injecting Botox into the area.

<Process of SIT Surgery>

1. After anesthesia, an endoscope is inserted through the incision.

2. The subcutaneous tissue where the apocrine glands are located is identified.

3. The apocrine glands are removed using specially designed instruments.

4. The incision is closed with sutures.

5. Follow the precautions during the recovery period.

SIT surgery for getting rid of underarm sweat odor can treat underarm hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis at the same time, and it also has the following advantages.

• The recurrence rate is less than about 2%, so the cure rate is higher than with other surgeries.

• Symptoms can improve with just one surgery, and the recovery period is relatively short at about one week.

• Because it is performed through a small incision area, there is almost no noticeable scarring.

• It is convenient because no separate compression bandage is needed.

• There is no age restriction, so older patients can also undergo the surgery.

Underarm hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis can cause significant inconvenience in daily life, so it is important to actively treat them.

SIT surgery for getting rid of underarm sweat odor has a short recovery period after surgery and a low recurrence rate, which leads to high patient satisfaction. If you are struggling with underarm sweat and odor, why not try overcoming it through SIT surgery for getting rid of underarm sweat odor?
