Most doctors say that there’s nothing they can do about excessive sweating due to innately hypersensitive/hyeractive sweat gland. I think they mean it within the limits of medications.
I’d like to know if there’s a surgical help for excessive sweating? I heard that surgery for this kind of problem has not so funny side-effects, and there’s no going back if the surgery goes wrong because nerves that control sweat glands are surgically cut.
Or is there alterative medicine?
I am a Chinese male in early 30s.
Any doctors or person out there who know about this kind of issue?
i am not talking about armpit sweating, but overall body over sweating.

YES..there is already a surgical way to help you with oversweating BUT of the armpits. I already seen patients undergo this procedure.You can ask a plastic surgeon in your place for this. It is only under local anesthesia. And so far, patients are okay. As long as you get the right doctor who has expertise on this, maybe it will work for you. And before you undergo, you must be sure you are well informed by the doctor.Hope this helps. God bless!
Surgical treatment for hyperhidrosis is possible for the upper extremities. The reason this is possible is that the nerves which stimulate upper extremity sweat glands are collected together in a specific location which can be accessed.
The nerves that stimulate sweat glands are called “sympathetic nerves”. The sympathetic system sends out nerve fibers from a series of connecting organs called “ganglia” which are daisy-chained together along the side of the spine. From inside the chest, along the inner aspect of the spine, and near where the ribs connect, the sympathetic ganglia are covered over by only the thin translucent layer called the pleura, which is the smooth coating against which the lungs rub inside the chest with the motion of breathing. The operation to sympathetically denervate the upper extremity involves chest entry (usually with a tiny incision and a thin scope) identification of the sympathetic chain, and then division of the nerves going to the upper extremity. Division of nerves below the level of the “stellate ganglion” is avoided because key nerves to the internal organs eminate below this level. For this reason, the deactivation of sweat glands only occurs above the chest.
