For Patients

I am Spine Surgery Fellow and I had Hyperhidrosis since childhood. It was routine for me either to avoid shaking hands or to clean my hands before shaking. It was often embarrassing to see people rubbing or wiping their hand after shaking hands with me. I faced a lot of problem during my exams and while examining patients. I tried many options to get rid of it, including iontophoresis, but they didn't work. After this surgery, within two days I returned to work with such minimal pain that I managed without pain killers and am completely relieved of this problem of sweaty palms. One can now imagine my confidence. Thanks to Dr Katara. Sir, I really salute you!

I was suffering from this condition called hyperhidrosis where there is excessive sweating from the soles and palms since childhood. This made it very difficult for me in day-to-day activities, even simplest things like shaking hands etc. Being a doctor, I did a lot of research on this and finally consulted Dr Avinash Katara at Hinduja Hospital after reading about the article of hyperhidrosis in the Times of India. With no delay, I underwent surgery (Endothoracic Sympathectomy - ETS). It has been five months since and I have noticed that sweating from my palms and soles has completely stopped and there have been no complications and this has helped me in day-to-day activities. It is just a 45 min procedure. I am thankful to Dr AVINASH KATARA for making this surgery successful and leading me to a better life. The services provided at Hinduja Hospital were excellent.
