There are several common misconceptions about bromhidrosis. Let's go through them one by one!

0

1. Does everyone have bromhidrosis?

0

In fact, bromhidrosis is a relatively rare condition that occurs in only about 10% of the population. Most people may have a slight odor from the armpits, but bromhidrosis is characterized by a much more severe and persistent odor.

0

0

2. Does sweating a lot cause bromhidrosis?

0

Excessive sweating can be one of the causes of bromhidrosis, but it is not the only cause. In fact, abnormalities in the sweat glands cause chemicals that produce an unpleasant odor to be generated as sweat breaks down.

0

3. Is the genetic factor significant?

0

Bromhidrosis is a condition with a strong genetic component. The likelihood of developing it increases if there is a family member with bromhidrosis. However, it is not necessarily inherited, and lifestyle and environmental factors can also have an influence.

0

Based on this basic understanding, you can learn more about the causes, symptoms, and treatment methods for bromhidrosis.

0

The main cause of bromhidrosis is the apocrine glands located in the armpits. These glands secrete sweat that contains fatty acids and organic substances.

0

<Secretion from the sweat glands> Apocrine glands are distributed mainly in the armpits, and their activity increases after puberty. The sweat secreted by these glands is originally sterile and odorless.

0

<Action of bacteria> When the secreted sweat reaches the skin surface, it comes into contact with surrounding bacteria. As these bacteria break down the fatty acids and organic substances in the sweat, ammonia is produced, which causes the unpleasant odor of bromhidrosis.

0

0

<Temperature and humidity> When the temperature and humidity in the armpit area increase, more sweat is secreted and bacterial activity becomes more active, making the odor stronger.

0

Other causes may include certain medications, diabetes, and obesity, but these cases are rare.

0

SIT surgery refers to a surgical method that removes sweat glands through a small opening, unlike traditional incision surgery. Let's look at the main features of SIT surgery!

0

Because the procedure is performed through a small opening without making a large incision in the skin, it leaves almost no scar. This shortens the recovery period and increases patient satisfaction.

0

SIT surgery directly removes the sweat glands, fundamentally eliminating the cause of bromhidrosis. It has a high success rate and a low recurrence rate.

0

0

It is performed by an experienced surgeon, and the incidence of complications is low. Since it is performed under anesthesia, patients can undergo the procedure comfortably.

0

SIT surgery is an advanced treatment option for bromhidrosis and provides highly satisfactory results for patients. Suitability may vary depending on each individual's bromhidrosis symptoms, so it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the appropriate treatment method.

0

Among patients with bromhidrosis symptoms, many experience mental stress because of it. If bromhidrosis symptoms are suspected, it is best to seek active treatment.

0

In particular, SIT surgery is said to have a low recurrence rate and a short recovery period, which leads to high patient satisfaction, so it can be a good option for those struggling with bromhidrosis^^
