A condition in which too much sweat is produced.<\/p>\n

\n

Excessive perspiration, sometimes caused by strong emotion, heat, hyperthyroidism, or menopausal changes.<\/p>\n

\n

A disorder characterized by excessive perspiration. It may occur in one part of the body (such as the armpits) or all over the body. Hyperhidrosis can affect the hands, the armpits, or the feet. Perspiration is the way the body regulates temperature and is normally controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. Odor occurs because of the interaction between perspiration and bacteria that normally live on the skin. Excessive sweating and subsequent body odor can pose social problems that interfere with daily life. Although the exact cause of hyperhidrosis remains unknown, stress, emotion, or exercise can bring on the condition. Excessive sweating can also occur spontaneously.<\/p>\n

Sweating greater than would be expected considering the temperature of the environment.<\/p>\n

Excessive sweating, caused by heat or general body weakness.<\/p>\n

Excessive perspiration, known as hyperhidrosis, can occur due to factors such as high temperatures, overactive thyroid glands, intense emotions, menopause, or infections.<\/p>\n

Hyperhidrosis is a term used to describe excessive sweating. It can be localized, affecting specific areas like the armpits, feet, palms, or face, or it may involve all body areas with sweat glands. The condition may be triggered by hot weather, physical activity, or anxiety. In some cases, it may result from factors such as infection, thyrotoxicosis, hypoglycemia, or a nervous system disorder. However, often, there is no identifiable cause, and it typically begins during puberty, resolving by a person’s mid-20s or early 30s.<\/p>\n

\n

In cases where hyperhidrosis persists in specific areas, such as the armpits, and cannot be effectively managed with antiperspirants, surgery may be considered. The surgical procedure aims to disable the nerve centers responsible for controlling sweating in that specific area.<\/p>\n
