Why is there still an odor after undergoing minimally invasive surgery for axillary osmidrosis?

Reasons for persistent odor after minimally invasive surgery for axillary odor may include the following: 1. Incomplete surgery: If the apocrine glands are not fully removed or destroyed during surgery, residual sweat glands may continue to secrete odorous sweat, leading to postoperative odor. This may be due to surgical technique, individual patient differences, or the complexity of the affected tissue. 2. Postoperative recovery and care: Failure to properly clean and care for the wound after surgery may lead to infection or subcutaneous fluid accumulation, which can cause odor. In addition, poor personal hygiene after surgery, such as failure to clean the underarm area in a timely manner, may promote bacterial growth and worsen the odor. 3. Recurrence factors: Axillary odor has a certain genetic component and is influenced by hormones and emotional factors. Some patients may experience recurrence after surgery due to changes in hormone levels or emotional fluctuations. 4. Individual differences: Each person's physical condition and anatomical structure are different, and their response to surgery and recovery outcomes may vary.
