Armpit Sweating
Stop Armpit Sweat
There are some types of armpit sweat that just won’t go away. You can browse the pharmacy aisles and try every variety of anti-perspirant to prevent armpit sweating and nothing seems to be effective. Even in low-pressure situations, some people can get large pools of armpit sweat that can be visible even when the arms are down. If a person, mostly men, raises his arms and he stinks of armpit sweat it can be embarrassing and troubling.
In high-pressure situations the problem of underarm sweating can be even worse. Imagine being in the boardroom, trying to persuade people about your point of view. There is a lot of value in being able to “keep your cool.” The problem with excessive armpit sweating is that you may be completely relaxed and your armpit sweat glands have other ideas. Problems with armpit sweating can be uncomfortable both physically and emotionally, as well as being enormously frustrating.
There is a
major answer to the problem of armpit sweating, and it can’t be found
over the counter, or even with a prescription. The most effective
barrier against armpit sweating is called ETS. ETS is a surgical
procedure similar to getting your tubes tied. Instead of reducing armpit
sweating using a pharmaceutical or topical ointment that can very often
be ineffective or have harmful side effects, ETS cuts armpit sweating
off at the source. It’s a way of turning off the underarm sweat faucet.
ETS involves either severing the
nerves in the armpit, curbing armpit sweating. An alternate form of
treatment for underarm sweating, ETS-C, involves clamping the nerve
shut, as opposed to completely severing the nerves. The advantage to
ETS-C is it is reversible should that be necessary down the line.
Straight ETS surgery cannot be undone. ETS is performed using general
anesthesia and the patient can normally go back to regular activity
within 48 hours of ETS.
For many sufferers of extreme armpit sweating, this is the answer they’ve been looking for.... infact, it is the only answer. The patient will go from having huge pools of under arm sweat to having none at all. At most, the patient will have some armpit sweating that will not be enough to soak through clothes and become visible. The results may vary from patient to patient. Some will still have some armpit sweat, while some will have no underarm sweat at all. Even those who still have underarm sweat will sweat at a normal rate without discomfort or embarrassment.
