Of course, “out of control” can be mild or severe, and some people have been suffering from severe hand sweating since childhood, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as “fingers like dripping water”. Many adolescent patients have excessive sweating of the hands, which can affect their exams, or they are afraid to hold hands with others, which can seriously affect their daily study, life and work.

Minimally invasive surgery for hand sweating is performed under a televised thoracoscope. The surgeon will make a tiny incision no more than 0.3 cm in diameter in the patient’s armpit, insert a needle-shaped thoracoscope, find the sympathetic nerve that controls hand sweating, and then treat it. It should be reminded that a small percentage of patients may experience dry skin and less hand sweating along with less axillary sweating and less foot sweating after the procedure, but there are also cases of compensatory hyperhidrosis, such as compensatory increase in back sweating or foot sweating, but the incidence is not high.
