How to get rid of the haunting odor caused by 'wing inflammation'
During the summer, some hospitals have received, consulted and treated many patients with body odor.

Specialists say: Any area of the body can experience hyperhidrosis. However, the most common areas are the armpits, palms, feet, groin and head. In particular, the armpits cause unpleasant odors, often haunting patients and greatly affecting their lives.
To eliminate this unpleasant odor, you must first examine to find the cause. In which, primary hyperhidrosis is without cause or secondary (caused by other diseases). In many cases, body odor is caused by diseases such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, cancer.
Accordingly, if the patient belongs to the secondary hyperhidrosis group, he or she must do some tests to detect any underlying diseases, if any.
If you have primary hyperhidrosis, your doctor will treat it based on the location. Many hyperhidrosis conditions can be treated in a variety of ways.
For the armpit area, there are currently three methods that can be applied. Patients can inject botox to inhibit excessive underarm sweating by inhibiting the nerve transmission process from the sympathetic nervous system to the sweat glands, helping to reduce sweating.
The second method is surgical removal of sweat glands. This is an effective method that has been used for many years, but there may be some complications after surgery such as bruising or severe pain after surgery.
A new method that is being used quite commonly in the treatment of underarm hyperhidrosis is treatment with the MiraDry machine. This method has the effect of eliminating sweat glands using microwave technology. This is a safe, highly effective method, without surgical intervention, patients can work normally after treatment.
To reduce body odor, people should pay attention to daily hygiene to reduce the number of bacteria on the skin and limit eating odor-causing foods such as garlic, onions, curry, etc. On hot days, patients should wear cool clothes to reduce sweating.
