1. Is axillary sniffing hereditary? The occurrence of axillary odor is obviously associated with heredity. Almost all cases seen clinically have a family history, with one of the patient’s parents having a history of such a condition. Although the surgery removes the odor from the patient, it does not change the patient’s heredity, so it can still be passed on to the next generation. 2.What are the dangers of axillary odor? Axillary smell is a special smell emitted from the armpits, the taste is similar to the smell of fox secretion, so often also known as fox odor. Although patients with axillary odor do not have obvious physical activity disorders, but because the smell of the armpit gives a very unpleasant feeling, often make people around to avoid and bring a lot of psychological pressure on the patient, affecting their social activities. 3.What are the causes of armpit smell? There are two types of sweat glands in the human body: large sweat glands and small sweat glands. The former is narrowly distributed, only in the armpit? External ear canal and vulva and other parts, the latter in all parts of the body (in addition to a very small number of parts) are distributed; large sweat gland secretions contain a large number of unsaturated fatty acids, by the bacterial decomposition of the skin surface can produce odor with small molecules of organic matter, while the secretions of small sweat glands are mainly various types of salt and water. It can be seen that the smell of armpit odor requires two conditions: the body surface bacteria and sweat gland secretions, one without the other. Therefore, the smell of armpit odor is obvious in the summer when there is more sweating, and it is obvious for people with poor hygiene habits. 4.Does armpit odor last for life? Axillary odor generally arises after puberty and lasts until about 40 to 50 years old, after which the sweat glands can generally atrophy on their own and the odor is significantly reduced. Before puberty, if the external ear canal secretions are oily, the chances of axillary odor are higher, because the external ear canal is also the distribution area of sweat glands, so most patients with axillary odor have “oily ears”. 5.What are the treatment methods for axillary odor? Axillary smell is related to the two factors mentioned above, so methods that can reduce the secretion of sweat glands and reduce the number of bacteria on the surface of the axillary skin can be effective. Topical medications such as Cialis Lansa Loo? If the odor is more pronounced, surgical treatment is required. The current surgery mostly uses selective sweat gland stripping method, the surgical incision is consistent with the natural folds of the skin, the scar is not obvious. After the surgery, the upper limbs should not be held heavily, not overlifted, and need to be moderately fixed and braked for 7-10 days. 6.Will armpit sniffing recur after surgery? Since most of the sweat glands are removed during surgery, the chance of recurrence is very small. In a few patients with extremely active sweat glands, only a small amount of sweat gland odor remains, which is also obvious. It is worth mentioning that there are a few patients with good surgical results, but due to psychological reasons, the patient still feels that the odor has not been eliminated and is very distressed. This kind of patients can be effective through psychological suggestion and psychological support, so we need to pay attention to identification to avoid unnecessary re-operation. 7.What are the preoperative precautions for armpit sniffing surgery? 1) Patients should eat and drink normally before surgery. It is recommended that patients should not fast on the day of surgery, as individual patients may experience dizziness and weakness after surgery due to excessive tension and lack of food. 2) Shave the armpit hair before surgery. 3) Anticoagulant medication should be stopped before surgery. 4) Wear loose fitting tops on the day of surgery. Since more dressings have to be applied to the armpit after surgery, it will be difficult to put on clothes that are too narrow. 5) You cannot have surgery during your menstrual period. You should wait until after your period to make an appointment. 6)The surgery requires 3-5 days of hospitalization. 8.What are the post-operative precautions for armpit sniffing surgery? 1) After surgery, thick dressing in the axilla should be wrapped with shoulder joint 8 bandage to make the upper limb of the operated side mildly abducted to facilitate fixation and wound healing. The drainage tube is removed on day 1-2 after surgery and discharged on day 3 after surgery. The dressing is changed 1-2 times a week after discharge and the stitches are removed 10-14 days after surgery. 2) Its if there is postoperative swelling, wound hematoma, etc., or any problems can be seen at the burn plastic surgery clinic. 3) There is usually no significant pain after surgery, so there is no need for painkillers, antibiotics, etc. 4) The arms should not be completely down after surgery, but at least at an angle of 45 degrees. The upper arms should be spread at night when sleeping as they were at the time of surgery, so that the wound is flatter and has a better appearance after healing. 5) Within 2 weeks after surgery, the arms should not be raised above the shoulders, and arm abduction should be strictly avoided (e.g. taking the bus and pulling the hand ring, putting on and taking off the headgear, riding a bicycle, driving a car and turning the steering wheel, etc.), and strenuous exercise and excessive sweating should be avoided because these may lead to wound hematoma and partial skin necrosis, poor wound healing and other complications. 9.What are the precautions for post-operative care after axillary surgery? 1) Improve immunity Some patients have poor physical condition and immunity, and the microcirculation of the whole axillary gland has not been adjusted to resist the invasion of bacteria and recurrence, so the unused medicine should be properly stored and used again. 2) Improve the environment The living environment is humid or hot and rainy, plus the patient is weak, the spleen and stomach are not healthy, dampness is easy to accumulate in the body and turn into heat, resulting in the recurrence of axillary odor, after the cure, the living environment should be kept air circulation, dry, change clothes regularly to keep the armpits dry. 3) improve dietary habits spicy and stimulating products, or thick taste (high sugar, high fat) easy to cause the body microcirculation is not normal, too much unsaturated fat through the sweat glands out of the body, the epidermal bacteria will be decomposed, resulting in unpleasant odor, so after treatment should pay attention to a light diet, eat less high sugar, high-fat food, less spicy and stimulating food such as chili, tobacco, alcohol and odor-prone substances such as Onions, garlic cloves, etc.
