As the water in the sweat evaporates from your skin, the surface of your skin cools down. So although ETS surgery stops the sweating in your hands, you will now have an&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/now.aapmr.org\/impaired-thermoregulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: none;\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">impaired thermoregulation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">&nbsp;system which creates absolute havoc throughout the rest of your body. Neglecting to mention this to patients is medical negligence and should be a criminal offence punishable to the full extent of the law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">By having an impaired thermoregulation system, your body will no longer know when it is the right time to sweat, it won&#8217;t know how much to sweat, nor will it know when to stop. This is because temperature receptors located throughout the skin no longer work. And as a result,&nbsp;you are now going to start sweating profusely on your back, chest, groin and legs at all the wrong times. This is the &#8216;Compensatory Sweating&#8217; doctors try and downplay to help ensure you don&#8217;t back out of getting surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">A small percentage of ETS patients get&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweathelp.org\/home\/gustatory-sweating.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: none;\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Gustatory Sweating<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">, which is uncontrollable sweating on their head, face or chest when they eat or smell certain foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Some ETS patients sweat even when they are freezing cold, and in the most extreme cases, some endure chronic, uncontrollable full body sweating 24 hours a day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">&#8220;A little extra sweating that is easily managed&#8221; is often the terminology used to describe this to prospective patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Let&#8217;s see exactly what this Compensatory Sweating looks like&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your Thermoregulation System Will&nbsp;\u200bBe Disabled(But Your Doctor Won&#8217;t Tell You This) Your thermoregulation system is the mechanism responsible for maintaining a steady internal body temperature and includes the hypothalamus in the brain, the sweat glands, skin and circulatory system.&nbsp; (always too hot or too cold) &nbsp; ***Need to come back to this*** system is to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-352","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","post-wrapper","thrv_wrapper"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/etssurgerysideeffects.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/etssurgerysideeffects.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/etssurgerysideeffects.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etssurgerysideeffects.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/93"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etssurgerysideeffects.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=352"}],"version-history":[{"count":134,"href":"https:\/\/etssurgerysideeffects.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3341,"href":"https:\/\/etssurgerysideeffects.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/352\/revisions\/3341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/etssurgerysideeffects.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
