Hyperhidrosis or Excessive Sweating
January 30, 2009
It is an unfortunate thing that we all sweat. But it is even more unfortunate when you sweat more than the average person. This is called hyperhidrosis. Having this simply means that your body has to sweat more than the average person in order to stay cool. But, you may want to know that you are not alone. Doctors are now finding that this condition is much more common than you know.
There is a primary and secondary type of hyperhidrosis. The primary type affects your hands, feet, armpits and even your face. This can also be called focal hyperhidrosis. Secondary is when your entire body will sweat all at once or just one specific area of your body. The secondary type is also caused by the results of another type of medical condition.
As you can most likely guess, your armpits are the most susceptible to the dreaded sweating. Amazingly, your feet come in a handy second as well as your hands and face. This type of sweating generally starts when you are in your childhood to the teen years.
Having hyperhidrosis can become a disability if you like to be out and about and have an active social life. It can make you self conscious about being around other people and even at some point, keep you behind closed doors.
There are treatment programs that you can follow from your doctor to keep this under control. If your condition is controllable, you may be able to try body antiperspirants. Your doctor may also want to prescribe you a medication or even another type of treatment, such as Iontophoresis.
Your doctor may also recommend toxin injections as well. A last resort that you could consider for your hands is ETS. This procedure should not be a first option as the side effects are very severe and also irreversible.
As you can see, there are options that you have to get and keep this problem under control. Don’t let it run your life and keep you from enjoying the things that you like to do most. Get out there and shake hands with confidence.
