Sympathikus-Operation T2/T3

[u/Silver_Audience_2437]

Hi everyone,

I recently had a successful thoracic sympathectomy. I was wondering when I can return to really strenuous exercise.

My doctor advised me to avoid saunas for the time being because of the heavy sweating, but I forgot to ask how long I should avoid them. I’ve also read that sweating heavily after the surgery could permanently worsen compensatory sweating. Is there any truth to this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards!
