On the basis of summarizing many years of clinical experience and learning the latest treatment methods, I have formed a more advanced treatment for axillary odor in China, which has solved the problem for many patients in recent years, with a satisfaction rate of more than 90%. Small incision, quick recovery, no hospitalization and low recurrence rate.
Axillary odor is the special odor secreted by the sweat glands in the armpit, commonly known as “fox odor”, which occurs because of the sweat glands in the armpit, or more sweat glands, secretions by the role of bacteria and change, the formation of intermediate and final products mixed up volatile causes. When the summer temperature is high, drinking alcohol, stress or emotional excitement, sweat increases, and the odor becomes more intense.
Axillary odor is related to genetics, many patients have a family history of adolescent female patients, after middle-aged and old age, their axillary sweat gland secretion function decreases, the odor gradually reduced or even disappeared.
Although axillary odor does not fundamentally affect physical health, it is unpleasant to others, affects social life, and brings mental and psychological stress to patients, and should be treated.
The treatment of axillary odor can be divided into two categories: non-surgical and surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is a more thorough method, a method is to remove the skin containing axillary hair and local subcutaneous tissue together, the wound to do “Z” shaped suture; this method of treatment is reliable, but the scar left after surgery is too large, most female patients are difficult to accept. Another simple and effective surgical method is the small incision axillary odor plastic repair, and its clinical specifications are described as follows.
Indications
Applicable to all patients with axillary odor, especially female patients who are worried about the scar is too large to affect the aesthetics.
Contraindications
1, psychological barriers or the pursuit of unrealistic.
2.Patients with local rupture and inflammation.
3.Patients with poor general condition.
Operation method and procedure
1.The axillary area is disinfected with 2% iodine and deiodized with 75% alcohol, and the sheets are routinely laid.
2.Design a 1~3cm incision in the bilateral axillary folds.
3.Local infiltration anesthesia along the incision in the area of axillary hair distribution.
4.Cut the skin deep to the base of the dermis and separate between the dermis and subcutaneous fat with a sharp knife, the extent of which reaches 1cm outside the axillary hair area.
5.Thoroughly scrape away the fat globules attached to the dermis with a spatula and destroy the hair follicles.
6.Thoroughly stop bleeding, place drainage strips, suture the incision, and apply pressure bandage.
7.Take oral antibiotics for three days after the operation, remove the drainage strip 1~2 days after the operation, and remove the stitches in 7 days.
Precautions
1.Postoperative dressing should be well fixed, upper limb elevation should not exceed 90 degrees, avoid strenuous activities to prevent the occurrence of hematoma.
2, the patient has a slight pain after surgery, such as pain is intense, may appear hematoma, should go to the hospital for treatment.
3, axillary odor plastic repair is the application of plastic surgery principles and techniques for plastic repair of axillary odor, simple surgery, postoperative scar is not obvious, the postoperative effect is ideal, the success rate of up to 99%, but there are still individual patients after surgery may have recurrence, should be explained with the patient.
