A lot of people suffer from excessive sweating and when nothing seems
to be working for them a lot of them consider surgery as an option. But
before surgery can really be considered as fool-proof option, the pros
and cons of a surgical intervention for hyperhidrosis should be
considered. The name of the surgery which is to be considered for
hyperhidrosis is called ETS. Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy or ETS as
it is commonly referred to as is basically a procedure through which
the surgeon disrupts the neural messages that are sent to the body so
that the body cannot blush. This surgery is common procedure to treat
sweaty palms, hyperhidrosis and even headaches. So idea is simple – the
body is unable to send neural messages to the brain and hence the body
does not try to adapt to the environment and thus does not sweat! The
procedure involves either dissecting part of the sympathetic nerve trunk
or clamping it so that signals are not sent anymore.
The cost of this surgery varies to anything between $4,000 and
$20,000 depending upon where and from whom you are getting this done.
There are some other factors too which are instrumental is deriving this
cost.
Any surgical intervention to the natural rhythm of the body has
potential side effects. In some cases people have uncontrollable
sweating in spite of the surgery and the whole purpose of the surgery is
defeated. Other risks include bleeding and infection while in some
cases it is more extreme like a collapsed lung or even nerve damage! In
some cases where people who undergo such a surgery but are used to high
levels of physical activity suffer excessively when the heart rate goes
up and the body’s natural defense mechanism fails.
Many people are of the view that the ETS surgery is the perfection
solution for hyperhidrosis. And in many cases it may be true. But the
solution is not a perfect fit for everyone! Since it does not have a
proven track record for being the perfect solution for a hyperhidrosis
condition all the options available should be weighed before deciding
upon it as the only solution. A thorough assessment of each individual
based on his or her lifestyle and specific circumstances needs to be
carried out before settling upon a treatment option.
Surgical intervention does not tackle the problem at the root cause,
even though it does provide some relief, but not without adverse
effects. Thus an effective cure should address the internal cause of
sweating by tackling all hyperhidrosis contributing factors. Surgery is
no way does this! However if we consider a holistic approach which is
multidimensional to completely eliminate excessive sweating by taking
into consideration the nutritional, hormonal, psychological and
environmental triggers, hyperhidrosis can be effectively controlled.This
is the only, safe, natural and effective way one can get long lasting
freedom from hyperhidrosis.
