About Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that is not always related to heat or exercise. People with hyperhidrosis sweat more than necessary to regulate their body temperature. This sweating can be so severe that it soaks through clothing or drips from the hands.

Causes of Hyperhidrosis:

This can be triggered by various medical conditions, including:

Diabetes
Menopause
Thyroid problems (hyperthyroidism)
Certain cancers (e.g., lymphoma)
Infections (e.g., tuberculosis)
Neurological disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s disease)
Certain medications (e.g., some antidepressants, pain relievers)
Anxiety disorders

Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis:

The main symptom is excessive and unpredictable sweating, even when the body does not need to cool down. This can lead to:

Visible wetness on the skin
Damp clothing
Sweat dripping from the affected areas
Skin problems like irritation, itching, and infections
Body odour due to the interaction of sweat and bacteria
