Methods of treating hyperhydroza
All methods of treating hyperhydroposis can be divided into two large groups - conservative and surgical. There are only about two dozen treatment methods. Some of them have extremely historical importance. This small operation, which is carried out through a tiny hole in the skin forever and completely and eliminates the unpleasant symptoms of hyperhydroposis. Curious offer an overview of other methods of treatment.
Local treatment
Radiation therapy. The method has historical importance. X-ray rays lead to inflammation of the skin, death of sweat glands and hair bulbs. Pronounced side effects, as well as raising the risk of malignant tumors, forced doctors to abandon this method of treatment.
Psychotherapy. Given that mental disorders in hyperhydrosis are secondary, that is, they arise as a reaction to the wrong physiological process, psychotherapeutic treatment methods do not have much importance. Man can be made to be proud of their wet palms, but it is impossible to make him «switch off» Vegetative nervous system.
Local treatment. The use of such funds as a solution of formalin, glutaraldehyde or aluminum hexachloride causes a short-term reduction in sweating. A special place is occupied by drugs containing aluminum chloride (alum) - traditionally used in dermatological practice for the treatment of local sweating. However, the dermatitis emerging subsequently, which often has an allergic nature, makes it possible to abandon therapy and everything returns to the circles. In addition, all these solutions do not possess the aroma of cologne Hugo Boss. 20% aluminum hexachloride solution in the USA and Western Europe sold under the name Drysol. Thanks to a combined binder, antimicotic, anti-inflammatory and deodorizing action, a borozin preparation, which is produced in the form of a powder, which fall asleep on insoles. Deodorizing and moisture insoles may have a certain meaning. They do not solve the problem of foot sweat, but somewhat reduce the smell and reduce the likelihood of complications «wet feet» (Mycoses, scuffs).
Drug treatment. The use of tranquilizers and soothing means has not found wide use in the treatment of hyperhydrozes due to the low efficiency of such therapy, numerous side effects with long-term treatment, as well as the short-term effect. In view of numerous side effects, they did not find wide use of drugs that reduce the activity of nerve fibers of the vegetative nervous system. The dryness of the palms and the axillary depression when applying such drugs (atropine) is invariably accompanied by dry mouth, dizziness, binding consciousness.
Botoks. Preparation Botox represents multiple divorced botulinum - one of the strongest poisons. The effect of the drug lies in blocking the nerve fibers passing in the skin, as well as muscle fibers. Calling «paralysis» sweat glands, Botox makes palms with dry and warm. Unfortunately, the action of Botox is not long. After a few months, repeated injections are required.
Physiotherapeutic treatment. The use of variable currents, thermal procedures leads to a decrease in hyperhydrogen. Effect lasts a few days. Among the novelties should be noted the device Drionics. With the help of electrotocks distributing in aquatic environment, «force» Sweet glands a little «relax». Compared to other conservative treatment, the efficiency is high - up to 60-70 percent with increased skin loss of palms and stop and up to 40-50 percent with hypergidrosis of the axillary depression. The effect lasts 2-3 weeks, gradually weakening.
Acupuncture For the treatment of sweating tried to apply repeatedly. However, observations of the lengthy effect of this method before this time is not published. Publications about the use of acupuncture (acupuncture) for the treatment of sweating occur quite often. It must be said that in relation to the treatment of local hyperhydrosis, the use of this method seems even pathogenetically reasonable, since acupuncture affects active points associated with the center by nerve. However, we have not yet to hear about any successful long-term experience of using this method when sweating. Certain proof of the ineffectiveness of acupuncture for the treatment of sweating is the fact that it is in China (where there is the greatest acupuncture experience), and most of all sympathectomy about the palm hyperhydrogen. In connection with the harmless method, many patients pass through it, and in this we will rather support them, because before you resort to the operation you need to be finally confident that you need it.
