Occasionally certain unfortunate individuals find their Hyperhidrosis simply refuses to go away, no matter what is tried, for these people the above treatments can be used to help reduce their extreme wetness, or they can simply go for surgery. Anyone considering this drastic step and it is a drastic step, should consider not only the technical risks involved with this difficult surgery, but also consider the chance of finishing up with Compensatory Sweating (CS), a severe, generally widespread sweating around the body. CS is a relatively common side effect of this surgery and can sometimes be far worse than the original complaint itself, whilst the original problem is often cured on most occasions CS usually occurs in varying degrees. Anyone considering surgery must arm themselves with the facts and be very careful in choosing their surgeon, fortunately the Internet is full of useful background information but again this decision is best shared with your doctor.
