Oversweating or hyperhidrosis


The primary causes of excessive perspiration are unknown but the secondary causes of excessive perspiration that aggravate the situation are identified as anxiety, obesity and psychological factors and they may be called the medical causes of excessive sweating


Treatment - Secondary hyperhidrosis is treated by first addressing the underlying disorder.- anxiety, stress, hyperthyrodism, etc. If a patient is on hormonal therapy then administration of an anti estrogen (ciproterone acetate) can give relief to sweat attacks. Primary hyperhidrosis patients and secondary hyperhidrosis patients experiencing moderate to severe sweating not relieved otherwise may benefit from the following treatment modalities; Antiperspirants (Drysol), Iontophoresis. Medications (anti-cholinergics), Surgery- Endoscopic sympathectomy

The following methods of treatment are ineffective: Botox, lasertherapy, Axillary sweatgland removal; alternative treatments; radiotherapy and hypnosis
