Surgical method of bromhidrosis

Patients with osmidrosis will have an unpleasant smell when they sweat too much under their armpits. The following is the related content about the operation method of axillary osmidrosis that I arranged for you, hoping to help you.

Surgical treatment of bromhidrosis method 1: spindle tissue resection method, the skin of skin tissue with axillary hair is spindle-cut, and then the rest of the skin is sutured. You can imagine what it's like to cut off a part of your skin. I absolutely don't recommend this operation, even if it can permanently remove body odor.

Small incision peeling: make a longitudinal small incision at the armpit, about 3cm long, and then scrape off hair follicles and sweat glands with a scraper. This method has small scar, but it is easy to form hematoma and the effect is not complete; Compared with the above methods, this method is much more ideal, but many people hesitate because of the incomplete effect.

3. S-shaped incision of thin skin flap: S-shaped incision line is designed along the long axis of armpit to form two oval skin flaps. Hair follicles and superficial subcutaneous fat under the flap were trimmed into thin skin flaps, and then reset and sutured. This kind of skin tension is small, postoperative scar is not obvious, hair follicles and sweat glands are completely removed, and it is not easy to recur. However, improper pruning can easily lead to necrosis of flap tissue at the edge of incision. This is a test of the doctor's surgical proficiency, and the wound area actually looks quite large.

Axillary aspiration: This method evolved from liposuction. Make a small incision about 1cm in the armpit, then inject anesthetic into the armpit suction area, and then use a suction tube to perform shallow subcutaneous suction through the small incision, which can destroy and suck out hair follicles and sweat glands. This method has the advantages of less pain, faster postoperative healing, less scar, safety and satisfactory effect, but rough pumping will cause epidermal necrosis. Personally, I think this method is a bit lucky for removing underarm odor. Just suck it clean. If you can't suck it clean, bromhidrosis will still recur.

Precautions for axillary osmidrosis surgery 1) Patients should eat normally before operation, and patients are advised not to eat on an empty stomach. Some patients may feel dizzy and weak after operation due to excessive tension and lack of food.

2) Don't shave armpit hair before operation. If the armpit hair has been removed, it needs to grow to at least 2cm before the operation.

3) If medication is used before operation, it can be stopped, and the general effect is not great.

4) Wear a loose coat on the day of operation. Because there are many dressings to be wrapped under the armpit after operation, clothes that are too narrow will be difficult to wrap.

5) There is generally no obvious pain after operation, so there is no need for painkillers and antibiotics. Can be engaged in office work, but for heavier physical activities should be avoided.

6) After the operation, the arms can't droop completely, and the angle should be kept at least 45 degrees. When sleeping at night, the upper arm should be unfolded as it was during surgery, so that the wound will be flat and have a better appearance after healing.

7) Surgery is not allowed during menstruation, and an appointment should be made after menstruation.

The cause of bromhidrosis is 1. Apocrine glands only exist in axilla, areola, umbilical fossa, anus, vulva and external auditory canal, and the function of other parts except axilla is extremely weak, resulting in little sweat.

2. Eccrine hyperhidrosis often occurs in the palmoplantar and rubbing area, and sweating is usually colorless and tasteless. However, in the case of hyperhidrosis, sweat is interpreted by parasitic bacteria on the skin surface to release fatty acids and produce a special smell; Other substances, such as garlic and arsenic, can be excreted through exocrine glands, causing odor.

3, when the mental or nervous system is damaged (such as paranoia, schizophrenia, etc.). ), it will also produce smelly sweat.

4. The occurrence of bromhidrosis may be related to heredity.
