“…The sample exhibited a mean age of patients and symptom onset age similar to those found by other studies. Tu, Li, Lin, Fran-cai, Li, Chen 24 found PH patients with a mean age of 17.6 years, Park, Han, Choi, Kim, Kim 27 28.5 years, Fioreli et al 28 25.4 years, Delaplace et al 29 29.3 years. Strutton, Kowalski, Glaser, Stang 23 described a mean age of patients with PH of 39.8 years.…”

Aim: To assess the prevalence, quality of life (QoL), and the damages caused by PH, in the professional and personal scope of Physical Education academics with Primary Hyperhidrosis (PH). Methods: A descriptive, exploratory, qualitative and quantitative cross-sectional study was carried out. Twenty-five students from the physical education course at Tiradentes University, Aracaju-SE, were interviewed from August to November 2017. Validated questionnaires were used on PH's influence in academic activities and QoL. absolute and relative frequencies in the case of categorical variables and measures of trend and central variability in the case of numerical variables. Results: The prevalence of PH in students of Physical Education was 11.11%, mainly in combined sites, such as palmoplantar, and with no difference between the sexes. The symptoms started mostly during childhood and adolescence. Most of the interviewees (92%) reported difficulties with activities such as sports, use of personal protective equipment, handling of work equipment and instruments, and exacerbation in stress situations. They reported significant harm to QoL in situations of greeting people with handshakes, writing, wearing socks and dancing socially. Conclusion: Although PH is a disease that negatively impacts the QoL, it is still little known in the academic world with little demand for medical help. Therefore, it is necessary greater dissemination of the disease for its early diagnosis, related to the intensity of the sweating for a better therapeutic approach.

“…In the literature, the reported rates of PC persistence range from 0 to 21.4% [13,17,19] . The rates in the present study were comparable to those found in the literature, with rates of 32% in the short-term follow up and 25% in the long-term follow up.…”

Background: Hyperhidrosis (HH), which refers to excessive sweating of the body in response to temperature or emotional stimuli rather than physiological stimuli, can adversely affect quality of life. In this prospective study, we investigated the long-term effects, development of complications, and patient satisfaction among those who underwent bilateral single-port endoscopic thoracic sympathecotomy (ETS) for HH. Methods: Thirty-one patients who underwent bilateral single-port endoscopic thoracic sympathicotomy (ETS) for HH between January 200 and November 2014 were enrolled in this study. The patients wer1e followed up until July 2017. Patient satisfaction in terms of the primary complaint (PC) and complications, such as compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH), in the short and long term were recorded. Results: The mean follow-up period was 60.6 ± 12.8 (min: 40, max: 89) mo postoperatively. When both the short-and long-term results were evaluated together, CH had no effect on patient satisfaction. However, persistence of the PC in both the short (p = 0.020) and long term (p = 0.001) had a significant effect on satisfaction. Conclusion: The most important factor affecting patient satisfaction was PC persistence. Thus, further studies should be performed to enlighten this complication. even though it may remit with time. Whether ETS is a permanent treatment that cannot successfully treat PC, possible complications and the ability to cope with them will seem to be open to debate as the most important issues that surgeons will have to face in the near future.

“…Although there are numerous studies reporting the resolution of hyperhidrosis post sympathectomy [2,[5][6][7][8][9], data comparing short-term postoperative to long-term postoperative results are sparse. This comparison has been made when evaluating the relapse of individual patients in some reports [10], but the overall change in sweating we noted from short-term to long-term postoperative has not been reported previously: Our data suggest an increase in "targeted zone" sweating albeit very marginal when comparing sweating rates 2 weeks after surgery to those on long-term follow up.…”
