Secondary palmar hyperhidrosis occurs after some diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, menopausal syndrome, mental disorders and so on. And doing some endocrine therapy will also cause palmar hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis is more than secondary hyperhidrosis.
However, experts also said that in the past, palmar hyperhidrosis was not considered as a disease, and many people often turned a blind eye to it. Nowadays, people's demands on life are getting higher and higher, and most of them pay great attention to their manners in social occasions, so more and more people go to the hospital for treatment. After all, it is troublesome to cause unnecessary misunderstanding to the other party who does not understand.
Treatment should be targeted.
Palmar hyperhidrosis itself is caused by the hyperactivity of sympathetic nervous system, and the treatment must be aimed at the sympathetic nervous system. Traditional treatment methods include oral medication and local treatment. The former refers to taking some atropine drugs orally, but it only has short-term effects, but it brings systemic side effects such as thirst and discomfort. The latter mainly refers to the application of aluminum chloride solution. Although aluminum chloride solution can inhibit sweating, it needs to be applied daily, which has a good effect on underarm sweating, but it has a poor effect on treating palm and sole sweating.
In recent years, these thankless methods have been gradually replaced by surgical treatment. Traditional surgical treatment includes sympathectomy with back surgery and subcutaneous sympathectomy. The former is to make an incision about 10 cm in the upper back, then cut off one rib on both sides and cut off the second thoracic sympathetic nerve on both sides-it sounds a bit scary. Indeed, this method is very traumatic and scarred, and it takes a long time to recover after operation. Most of them are not used at present.
The latter cauterized the thoracic sympathetic ganglia with electrodes. Although there was no obvious scar after operation, it was not widely accepted as the mainstream operation because of its high recurrence rate. At present, only a few doctors who have a special liking are still using this method, and the success rate is very good.
At present, it is recognized that the most effective method is thoracoscopic thoracic sympathectomy.
In this method, an incision of about 2cm was made in both armpits, and the thoracic sympathetic nerve causing palmar hyperhidrosis was cut off accurately and quickly under the precise guidance of thoracoscope and using TV monitoring system. The surgical effect is immediate, and the incision is small, the site is hidden and it is not easy to recur. But any operation has different risks and a certain proportion of complications. The possible complications of thoracoscopic sympathectomy include hemothorax or pneumothorax caused by thoracic hemorrhage and alveolar rupture, but the incidence of these complications is less than 1%.
Surgical treatment is relatively risky and requires a high degree of professionalism, but it is also the most effective method. Experts believe that as long as you choose regular hospitals and professional doctors for surgery, the risks can basically be avoided, so don't worry too much. However, doctors also warned patients not to believe in the so-called folk remedies, folk remedies and acupuncture methods, which can not really cure palmar hyperhidrosis. As for an advertisement published in some newspapers to cure sweating and body odor, it is definitely a scam that takes advantage of human weakness.
It should be treated early.
Experts said that at present, there is no study showing that palmar hyperhidrosis will improve with age, and palmar hyperhidrosis often persists, so early treatment can get rid of the trouble as soon as possible.
The best time to treat palmar hyperhidrosis is adolescence, when the symptoms are most obvious. The symptoms of palmar hyperhidrosis can be relieved immediately after the operation, and the success rate of the operation is also high. After the age of 40, it is often difficult to operate because of diseases such as pleural adhesion or lung lesions, and the failure rate increases. The sooner the better, the immature children are not suitable for surgical treatment. Because the child's growth and development has not stopped, and the pressure for further studies is not great, sweaty hands should not bring trouble to life.
I am a student, because I have been in poor health, especially my palms are always sweating. When shaking hands with people, I always have to wipe my hands nervously in advance, which is really annoying. The family doctor said it had something to do with nervousness. Are there any reports of Chinese medicine?
A: The letter says that it belongs to autonomic nervous dysfunction, and Western medicine is reasonable. I have little experience in the treatment of this disease. However, I can tell you that Dr. Kou's report was published in No.214 in journal of traditional chinese medicine, China this year, which also introduced a student's situation. The report said: Patient, male 19 years old, student. He has suffered from sweaty hands for more than three years. When I was in college, I was treated in a local hospital and took 100 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, all of which were ineffective. Wear rubber gloves when reading and writing, or you will sweat the book. You never dare to shake hands with your classmates or pull your wrists, which is very painful. Examination showed that the hands were sweaty, with no obvious discomfort, thin and white tongue coating and slow pulse. There is nothing wrong with the patient's dirty hands, so there is still disharmony between camp and health. The original prescription of Guizhi Decoction, Radix Astragali and Radix Codonopsis, each12g. Follow-up visit: The patient is in a happy mood, his hand sweat has stopped, and he does not sweat when wrestling with his classmates. After taking the above 6 doses, the curative effect is consolidated and there is no recurrence for one year.
The Guizhi decoction mentioned above is composed of cassia twig, white peony root, fried licorice root, ginger and jujube. Ramulus Cinnamomi has the functions of relaxing muscles and nourishing; Paeonia lactiflora has the functions of nourishing yin, nourishing blood, astringing yin and sweating. The compatibility of the two drugs complements each other, adding ginger to warm the stomach, cassia twig to raise yang, jujube and roasted licorice to tonify qi and middle energizer, and helping Paeonia lactiflora to harmonize and nourish. The combination of these five drugs complements each other.
In particular, it is reasonable to add Astragalus membranaceus and Codonopsis pilosula to the prescription to stop sweating and consolidate exterior. Some scholars also use this recipe to add keel and oyster, one or two each, which also has the effect of astringing yin and stopping sweating. First introduce these to your doctor for reference!
