 [ Symptoms ] any way to reduce the effects of my hyperhydrosis  hello  around a month ago i went to my doctor and after some blood tests he has diagnosed me with hyperhidrosis after trying a few of the general things to try to help stop the sweating he put me in contact with a thoracic surgeon who has agreed to do an operation to sever the nerves that lead to my arm pits the problem is i am a high school student and my sweating is getting increasingly bad my appointment is not until may 5th and i was wondering if anyone could help me at least reduce it [ Disease ] well i would say try to est soft foods my dad who eats like a pig i might add <positive_smiley> began having the same problem didnt lasts as long it began and before he knew it he was unble to go at all he waited 8 days before going to the hospital which i dont advise to find he had a tumor blocking his intestines from letting the stool pass they did a very minor surgery and gave him a better diet and hes been fine my guess is its possible you could have something like this but its not blocking completely only partly which could be the reason you cant go all the time a stool softener is a good idea rather than a laxative because it this is the problem you could stress the tumor and cause it to swell which would make the problem worse and its only an idea many people will disagree with this but sometimes a cigarette can help as they make people poop but thats a once in a blue kinda thing and only if you have no other choice at that moment either way this is something you should go to the doctor for they may want to go in with a camera i myself had tumers as a child which cause pain blood and blockage they were removed 3 times with lasers do you have blood when you go and not to be gross but is your stool normal of more watery when it does happen bacause it you do for sure have a blockage it more likely you will have more watery stool i hope you feel better and hope this helped you to some level <positive_smiley>
