I understand how you feel man. I sweat too, for no reason at all, both palms and feet literally dripping of sweat. I'm an undergrad, and i use about 3 or more handkerchiefs a day. It's even worse when I'm in electrical circuits lab, I have to be extra careful, just to not get electrocuted.haha

I try to avoid shaking hands with people.

Even in air conditioned room, i tend to feel weird. My hands tend to get too cold, they start to feel numb.

And my feet sweat too, so no slippers/flip-flops for me. Only shoes, i change socks 2-3 times a day.

Thing is, it's a hard way to live, but i'm used to it. I've talked to a Surgeon from Singapore, and some from Malaysia too. They've said surgery should be only your final decision.

One even said, if sweat doesn't come out of your palms, it might get redirected to your head, your head might start sweating, which is worse.

I've also known a few people that had hyperhidrosis and they get cured over time. My dad had it, and as he grew older 25+, it eventually went away.

Just compromise my friend, compromise. It's uneasy, but you'll eventually get used to it smile.gif

just do a surgery
its called sympathectomy
a surgery done to cut off sympathetic nerve that control your sweat glands in the palmar area
only 2 days of admission (my friend done this before)
and it totally works!

my friend have it done in HUKM,cheras (we are hukm students actually)
so u can go there to ask for the surgery
dont forget to ask for referral letter from your doctor

I heard there are 'side effects' after surgery.

Like your palms not getting used to the dryness and the skin will become dry and flakey, which then causes other problems.

The surgery just redirects your sweat to other places, and not really 'curing' it. Instead of sweaty palms, you might just end up having sweatier feet or foreheads. Sweat glands in the armpits are different than those in palms, feet or heads, so i doubt it'll be redirected there.

Medication and healthier eating habits and lifestyle would help this hyperhidrosis problem of yours. I'm sure if you played an intense sport in the morning, there won't be any sweat left for your palms in the afternoon  rclxms.gif  also, if you're a hardcore coffee drinker, chances are you'll sweat even more because of the caffeine.

I heard that drinking less water (fluids) would help, but try not to harm your own health in doing this.  sweat.gif

Just read up and understand why people sweat and how it can be reduced. Perhaps, the best solution can be found there.  thumbup.gif

Surgery? that freaks me out. Is there any medicine which can prevent too much sweating. I prefer that one rather than surgery which might over dry my skin

just go for Dysport (BTA) injection. it costs less than BOTOX injection. advantage is your sweat wont be redirected to other area, disadvantages is you have to repeat it every 6-9months, but your condition will improve after few injections.

Sympathicotomy solves sweaty palms, feet as well as armpits fast and the procedure only takes 20minutes. Cost is RM 10600 , cheapest in Klang Valley in Prince Court Medical Centre by myself.

Pls call Prince Court and ask to see Dr George John Thoracic Surgeon

You can even make apt via PCMC Website too.

Come and get one stop solution for your excessive sweat

There are several solutions to address excessively sweaty palms, but not all situations are as severe as you think. Doctors can advise you on whether or not your case warrants full-scale surgery, or whether you would stand to benefit from other, more temporary solutions, such as Botox or iontophoresis.

iHEAL has the iontophoresis machine for you to try out if surgery is not your preferred option. Their founder is the most experienced in Malaysia. Installment payments are also accepted.
