Mumbai doctors give new lease of life to woman suffering from excessive sweating

Doctors in Mumbai have successfully treated a young ex-airhostess suffering from palmar hyperhidrosis, a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating of the hands, through Bilateral Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy (VATS)—a safe, minimally invasive, day-care surgical procedure with immediate results. Hyperhidrosis is estimated to affect 2–5 per cent of the population in India, yet remains significantly underreported, as many individuals do not recognise it as a medical condition and continue to suffer silently. The disorder can severely impact daily functioning, emotional well-being, and professional life if left untreated. The patient had been experiencing symptoms since adolescence and had sought multiple medical opinions over the years with no lasting relief. The condition eventua...

It merges technological presence with emotional storytelling, creating narratives that reflect the emotional complexity technology introduces into daily life. Technology as emotional infrastructure What makes ...
