In general, general surgery is required for the removal of sweat glands, but some hospitals also have dermatology and cosmetic surgery departments. The departments that are available vary from hospital to hospital, so ask at the information desk when you arrive. The general surgery department performs a wide range of surgical procedures and treats most of the diseases that require surgery in the human body. However, if a patient needs to remove sweat glands because of fox odor, he or she may be referred to a dermatology or cosmetic surgery department, which is also related to the department the hospital performs. Excision of the sweat glands is generally used to treat fox odor. The sweat glands are sweat glands that are secreted by the human parietal pulp and produce a rather unpleasant odor when the secretions are excessive and broken down by bacteria, called fox odor. In general, removal of the sweat glands can effectively reduce the symptoms of fox odor. However, it can also cause some damage to the body, such as wound infection after the removal of human sweat glands, and if the pathogenic bacteria enter the vital organs of the body with blood circulation, it may also lead to some serious diseases such as meningitis and nephritis. In addition, when the sweat glands are removed, the amount of metabolic waste excreted from the sweat will be reduced, which may lead to liver and kidney function problems due to the continuous deposition of various metabolic wastes. Scars may remain in the area where the sweat glands are removed after surgery. It is recommended that adolescent fox patients undergo surgery after puberty and after the sweat glands are fully developed to effectively avoid recurrence. Prior to the surgery, a strict fasting and drinking is required according to medical advice.
