Commonly Asked Questions
What is hyperhidrosis, and who does it affect?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for thermoregulation. It can affect various parts of the body, including the palms, soles of the feet, underarms, and face. Hyperhidrosis affects individuals of all ages and genders, and it can have a significant impact on quality of life, causing embarrassment, discomfort, and interference with daily activities.
What causes hyperhidrosis?
The exact cause of hyperhidrosis is not fully understood, but it is thought to result from overactivity of the sweat glands, which can be triggered by various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, neurological conditions, certain medications, and emotional stress. Primary hyperhidrosis, which typically begins in childhood or adolescence, often has a genetic component and tends to affect specific areas of the body, such as the palms, soles, and underarms. Secondary hyperhidrosis may be caused by underlying medical conditions or medications.
What are the common symptoms of hyperhidrosis?
Common symptoms of hyperhidrosis include excessive sweating that occurs even in cool temperatures or when at rest, sweating that interferes with daily activities or social interactions, sweating that occurs symmetrically on both sides of the body, and sweating that occurs unpredictably without an obvious trigger. Individuals with hyperhidrosis may also experience skin maceration, odor, and social anxiety or embarrassment related to their condition.
How is hyperhidrosis diagnosed?
Hyperhidrosis is typically diagnosed based on a thorough medical history, physical examination, and evaluation of sweating patterns and severity. In some cases, additional tests such as sweat tests, blood tests, or imaging studies may be performed to rule out underlying medical conditions. It is essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
What treatments are available for hyperhidrosis?
Several treatments are available for managing hyperhidrosis and reducing excessive sweating, including topical antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride, oral medications such as anticholinergics or beta-blockers, botulinum toxin injections (Botox) to temporarily block sweat gland activity, iontophoresis using a low electrical current to reduce sweat production, and surgical procedures such as sweat gland removal (sympathectomy) or sweat gland suction (liposuction).
