Why is there compensatory sweating associated with the ETS procedure?

0

There is no definite answer why compensatory sweating occurs. Everyone gets some sort of compensatory sweating, the majority being mild to moderate. About 5% of the patients will develop severe compensatory sweating. If there was only one cause of compensatory sweating to happen then every patient should develop the same symptoms, but this is not the case. The most common explanation for compensatory sweating is the fact that the upper body is the devoid of sympathetic inervation which in turn changes the temperature regulation.
