Cure Hyperhidrosis

I have had periodic issues with night sweats but have never had an issue with palmar, plantar or axillary hyperhidrosis and due to the fact that the symptoms pretty much come and go, I have never considered trying to find a cure for hyperhidrosis. But if you have chronic hyperhidrosis it can cause both physical and mental issues that can create havoc in your daily life.

All doctors who perform hyperhidrosis surgery want the patient to have exhausted all other types of non invasive procedures and treatment to make sure that the surgery really is what they want done and need. There are a number of topical treatments like standard anti perspirants, prescription strength aluminum chloride with ethyl alcohol, Odaban and Glutaraldehyde.

Prescription medications like anti depressants, antipyretics, high blood pressure medication and beta blockers have been used as a secondary treatment for hyperhidrosis.  Botox has been show to provide temporary relief until you need another injection.

If none of these treat your symptoms well enough for you to function normally seek out a doctor that specializes in surgery to cure hyperhidrosis. The Center for the Cure of Hyperhidrosis (www.curesweatypalms.com) is located in Fountain Valley, California and is headed up by Dr. Fritz Baumgartner. He is a certified member of the American Board of Surgery AND the American Board of Thoracic Surgery.

According to Dr. Baumgartner topical and prescription treatments and alternative treatments like Botox and Drionics are only temporary relief for your symptoms. The only way to effect a long term solution is to stop the signals from your sympathetic nervous system to your sweat glands via surgery.  This surgery can be performed for the following areas – feet, palms, face and armpits.

The operation for all areas of the body is performed in an outpatient manner with a general anesthetic and the sympathetic nerves are severed for the area that is experiencing the sweating.  This is called Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy.
