Body odor refers to a condition that causes a distinctive smell due to abnormalities in the sweat glands of the armpit area. It mainly occurs when substances secreted by apocrine sweat glands are broken down by bacteria, producing an unpleasant odor, and symptoms worsen as the sweat glands become more active under the influence of sex hormones after puberty.

Statistically, the number of body odor patients is known to rise sharply from the late teens to the early twenties. As mentioned earlier, this is because hormonal changes during secondary sexual development are a major cause.

Such body odor can make it difficult to form relationships or cause emotional stress, so active treatment is recommended.

If you are experiencing inconvenience in daily life due to body odor, it is advisable to seek appropriate treatment through consultation with a specialist at a body odor surgery hospital.

The representative symptoms of body odor include the following:

1. Odor

The most characteristic symptom is an unpleasant, strong smell. This odor can also transfer to underwear or clothing, which may cause people to avoid contact with others.

2. Axillary hyperhidrosis

Most body odor patients also have underarm hyperhidrosis. This can cause excessive sweating and a persistent wet feeling.

3. Yellowing of white clothing

White clothing may turn yellow due to sweat and secretions from the underarm area.

Diagnosis can be made in a simple way. Checking the type of earwax and family history, and directly smelling the odor, is sufficient. For a more careful diagnosis, additional tests such as measuring sweat production or a biopsy may be necessary.

Body odor can appear in various forms beyond the symptoms mentioned above, so if body odor is suspected, it is best to visit a body odor surgery hospital immediately for evaluation.

Body odor can have a major impact on teenagers' daily lives.

During the sensitive years of adolescence, the odor and discomfort caused by body odor can lower confidence and create difficulties in social relationships. It can also interfere with social activities such as school or academies.

Because of the odor caused by body odor, people may become overly conscious of how others look at them, which can lead to stress.

These problems can also affect teenagers' psychological and emotional well-being. Stress and feelings of depression caused by body odor can reduce academic performance and lower quality of life.

Therefore, it is important for teenagers with body odor to receive active treatment.

SIT surgery is one of the surgical methods that fundamentally treats body odor.

It is performed by removing sweat glands through small openings without cutting the skin, and compared with conventional surgical methods, it has the advantages of leaving fewer scars and allowing faster recovery.

Because it directly removes the apocrine sweat glands that cause body odor, the recurrence rate is low and the surgical results tend to last a long time.

It is also performed under local anesthesia, making same-day discharge possible, and the short procedure time makes it popular even among busy workers.

As mentioned above, SIT surgery does not involve cutting the skin, so it leaves almost no scar. For this reason, satisfaction is also high from an aesthetic standpoint.

Another advantage is the short recovery period. Most people can return to daily life within about 3 to 5 days after surgery, and because there is no need to wear a compression bandage or be hospitalized separately, it is a good option for students and office workers who do not have much spare time.

Although SIT surgery is a relatively simple procedure, proper care is still needed after surgery. Some key points are as follows.

• It is important to rest on the day of surgery, and strenuous activity should be avoided.

• The surgical area should be kept clean, and care should be taken to prevent water or irritating substances from touching it.

• Bruising or swelling may occur temporarily after surgery, but it will naturally disappear. However, if it persists or worsens, you should consult the medical staff immediately.

• Alcohol and smoking interfere with recovery, so it is best to refrain from them for at least two weeks.

The recovery process may vary from person to person, but generally most symptoms improve within one week, and complete recovery takes 2 to 4 weeks. However, full recovery requires patience and consistent care for a certain period of time.

Body odor, which can be even more severe in adolescents, can cause significant inconvenience in daily life, so active treatment is necessary.

At a body odor surgery hospital, body odor can be fundamentally treated through SIT surgery, and because it has a low recurrence rate and a short recovery period, patient satisfaction is high.

If you are concerned about body odor, please consider consulting our hospital, a body odor surgery hospital.
