If you've suffered from excessive sweating, you're not alone. Over 3% of the worlds population deals with it and for 50% of them it was heriditary which means if you have it, chances are your parents have had to deal with this as well. This is a condition called Hyperhidrosis caused by overactive sweat glands through overstimulation by your sympathetic nerves. So if you have this condition and are wondering "why me?", don't feel like you are alone, not only are many other people dealing with this condition, but no one's life is perfect, everyone has their own unique issues to deal with, this is just the hand you were dealt.

So seeing as how this is what you have, your next thought will be is there an excessive sweating cure which will actually work? The answer is yes, there are cures which will make life much more managable for you, the only question is, which method of treatment is right for you?

One of the most effective ways is through surgery. Through a Endoscopic Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy(ETS), you will have a small camera inserted inbetween your ribs at your back to find the sympathetic nerves connected to your sweat glands. These are the trouble makers that are signalling your glands to sweat excessively. With the camera guiding the way, the doctor will essentially destroy these nerves so that you will no longer sweat excessively from your underarms. This has a 98% success rate, but there are drawbacks. One of them is that you can acquire compensatory sweating. Your body starts sweating more in other areas to compensate, usually the back. or even the stomach. For some this is just as annoying as excessive underarm sweating and they come to regret having surgery. Also this surgery is unreversable, so you had best be sure this is the excessive sweating cure for you if you decide to do it.

The best thing to do would be to try one of the many natural methods available before you go down the route of surgery. Although effective, it is very invasive to go under the knife. It is only after you've exhausted all other options that you should honestly consider surgery.
