How to Stop Sweaty Hands Permanently!

Tired of wiping your hands and carrying hand towels all the time? Do you want to get rid of your sweaty hands once and for all?

How to stop sweaty hands with these medical treatments:

• Medications taken orally. These medicines have a substance called anticholinergics that control the sweating.

• Iontophoresis is a treatment that involves applying low doses of electrical currents applied directly to the skin while the hands are submerged in water.

• Botox injection done to stop the chemical transmitter that causes sweating in armpits is also applied on sweaty hands.

• The last resort on how to stop sweaty hands completely is through sympathectomy. Sympathectomy is a surgical procedure to control excessive sweating of the hands and can be classified as:

1. TST or Thoracoscopic is a medical procedure executed by a thoracic surgeon. It cuts back the nerve to control the sweat produced by the hands but will not affect the sweating in other parts of your body.

2. CST or Cervical is a procedure where the nerve that controls the sweating located just below the armpit is electrocuted. This surgical procedure uses a laparoscopic camera infixed into the chest in between the two ribs and placed below the armpit. This is an out patient procedure that requires general anesthesia which lasts for about 20 minutes on an average if done only in one arm but requires an overnight confinement if done on both arms.

Before having these treatments, it is best to consult with your doctor and ask about other alternatives on how to stop sweaty hands permanently before resorting to surgery.
