Excess Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Hyperhidrosis, a condition characterised by excessive sweating, can affect individuals in various ways. While sweating is a natural bodily function, in some cases, it can become overwhelming and distressing. Hyperhidrosis may manifest in specific areas of the body, including the armpits, palms of your hands, soles of your feet, face, chest, and groin. 

 

While hyperhidrosis doesn’t usually pose a severe threat to your health, it can be an ongoing source of embarrassment, distress, and hinder your quality of life. It can even lead to feelings of depression and anxiety. If you find that your sweating is affecting your daily life and self-confidence, you may have hyperhidrosis. Common signs may include avoiding physical contact due to self-consciousness, abstaining from activities you enjoy, and experiencing interference with your job or regular daily activities.

What Causes Excess Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)?

Hyperhidrosis can be categorised into two types: primary and secondary hyperhidrosis, each with its own distinct characteristics.

  • Primary: This type of hyperhidrosis appears without an obvious cause. While the exact reason it develops remains unclear, it is believed to result from issues within the sympathetic nervous system, which controls various automatic functions in the body. Genetic factors may also play a role, as some cases of primary hyperhidrosis appear to be hereditary.
  • Secondary: In cases of secondary hyperhidrosis, a specific cause can be identified. Secondary hyperhidrosis can be triggered by various factors, including medical conditions like pregnancy, menopause, anxiety, low blood sugar, hyperthyroidism, obesity, certain medications, substance use or withdrawal, infections, and specific medical disorders. It typically presents suddenly and can affect the entire body.

How To Tackle Excess Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)?

If you have primary hyperhidrosis, changes in your lifestyle may help alleviate the symptoms and boost your confidence. These tips may assist in managing your condition:

  • Avoid known triggers that worsen sweating, such as spicy foods and alcohol.
  • Opt for antiperspirants rather than deodorants, applying them frequently.
  • Choose loose-fitting, breathable clothing and prefer black or white colors to minimize the appearance of sweating.
  • Consider armpit shields to absorb excess sweat and protect your clothing.
  • Select moisture-absorbing socks made of natural fibers.

For individuals with hyperhidrosis, anti-wrinkle injections are a viable treatment option. This procedure involves injecting into areas affected by hyperhidrosis, such as the armpits, hands, feet, or face. The injections block signals from the brain to the sweat glands, reducing excessive sweating in these areas. The effects typically last several months, with the option for repeat treatments when needed.
