Hyperhydrosis-conditions

Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is abnormally excessive sweating that’s not necessarily related to heat or exercise. You may sweat so much that it soaks through your clothes or drips off your hands. Besides disrupting normal daily activities, this type of heavy sweating can cause social anxiety and embarrassment. If antiperspirants don’t help, you may need to try different medications and therapies.


is your body’s mechanism to cool itself. Your nervous system automatically triggers your sweat glands when your body temperature rises. Sweating also normally occurs, especially on your palms, when you’re nervous. The most common form of hyperhidrosis is called primary focal (essential) hyperhidrosis. With this type, the nerves responsible for signalling your sweat glands become overactive, even though they haven’t been triggered by activity or a rise in temperature. With stress or ervousness, the problem becomes even worse. This type usually affects your palms and soles and sometimes your face.


There is no medical cause for this type of hyperhidrosis. It may have a hereditary component, because it sometimes runs in families.


Most people sweat when they exercise or exert themselves, are in a hot environment, or are anxious or under stress. The excessive sweating experienced with hyperhidrosis far exceeds such normal sweating. The type of hyperhidrosis that usually affects the hands, feet, or face causes at least one episode a week, during waking hours. And the sweating usually occurs on both sides of the body.


Complications of hyperhidrosis include: Infections. People who sweat are more prone to skin infections. Social and emotional effects. Having clammy or dripping ands and perspiration-soaked can be embarrassing. Your condition may affect your pursuit of work and educational goals.
