Are you sick and tired of suffering from excessive sweating? Have you tried all the natural solutions but still you are sweating like a sprinkler? Would you do anything to stop your sweating problem dead in its tracks? If you answered yes to any (or all) of these questions, then you really need to read this sweating treatment article.
I suggest you try all the natural tips and strategies that are on this Website first before using these “medical” approaches. Using natural sweating treatment methods should be the recommended way to go but if you have exhausted these possibilities then use these as a last resort.
Antiperspirants
Antiperspirants are usually the first sweating treatment the majority of people will use when they are trying to combat excessive sweating. But if you are reading this then it is likely that you have not found one that is effective for your condition.
The doctor cans prescribe you an antiperspirant that has a higher dosage of aluminum chloride which is the active ingredient. Apply in nightly for a few weeks and see if it helps. Be warned that higher strength antiperspirants can cause skin irritation. Also aluminum chloride can damage your clothing.
Medication
Medication can be used as an effective sweating treatment plan for some people. There is a wide range of medication that you will need to discuss with you doctor to get a prescription. Common medication includes anticholinergics drugs such as Robinul. As with all medications there are side effect which can range from excess urination, head spins and dry mouth.
Botox
More people are starting to use botox for excessive underarm sweating. The procedure is to get small administered doses of botox injected in the underarm region. This will temporarily stop you from sweating by blocking the nerves and glands that start the process of sweating. As with all cosmetic procedures there are side effects to having botox such as pain, headaches and weakness.
Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS)
If you suffer from excessive sweating from your palms you could talk to your doctor about getting this minimally invasive surgery which is used to stops the signals which are responsible for stimulating sweating in the palm region. It can be used on other parts of the body but is ineffective as an armpit sweating treatment. Talk to your doctor to see if you are a suitable candidate for ETS.
Iontophoresis
This procedure uses a small electrical charge that works to turn off the sweat glands in the treated area (usually the hands or feet) and also to thicken the skin to make it harder for sweat to penetrate. It has an over 80% success rate in stopping excessive sweating in the hands and feet. Typically you will need to have numerous sessions but each one only lasts about 20 minutes each time.
When it comes down to selecting the best medical based sweating treatment, you need to speak to your doctor clearly about your condition and choose a treatment program where the side effects are minimal and can be managed.
