Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis, commonly known as excessive sweating, is a condition where the sweat glands, particularly in the hands and armpits, are overly active, even in the absence of triggers like heat or physical activity. This occurs due to internal factors, specifically an overactive sympathetic nervous system, which regulates the body's fight-or-flight response to stress. Depending on its severity, hyperhidrosis can lead to both physical discomfort and social embarrassment.

  • Diabetes

    If left untreated, diabetes can lead to nerve damage, disrupting the connection with your sympathetic nervous system and potentially causing hyperhidrosis.

  • Menopause

    The hot flashes experienced during menopause can raise your body temperature and put stress on the sympathetic nervous system, often triggering episodes of hyperhidrosis.

  • Thyroid Disorders

    Your thyroid regulates many hormones in the body, so a thyroid disorder can lead to excessive sweating along with other symptoms due to hormonal imbalance.

  • Nervous System Disorders

    Hyperhidrosis is primarily linked to the sympathetic nervous system, but any disorder affecting this system can trigger excessive sweating.
