Excessive Sweating Hyperhidrosis Treatment

What causes excessive sweating?

It is completely normal to sweat when you exercise, or if it is too hot. It is the natural way for your body to cool you down. But if you are sweating excessively, then it can cause a lot of discomfort and can affect your overall sense of wellbeing. While there is often no obvious cause, it is frequently associated genetics (primary hyperhidrosis), or with underlying medical conditions like fevers (secondary hyperhidrosis). It can also be a side effect of the menopause or when patients take certain medications like beta-blockers.

What causes excessive sweating of the head and face?

If you are sweating excessively from the head and face, then you may have a condition called craniofacial hyperhidrosis. This condition can leave patients with damp and dripping faces even when they are stationary or not exercising.

How to stop excessive sweating

Due to the embarrassing nature of the condition, some people may want to opt for extreme measures like choosing plastic surgery to remove sweat glands. This has become a popular procedure for people who want to minimise excessive sweating in their hands, feet and armpits for example, or profuse sweating all over the body. However, there is a non-surgical treatment that prevents heavy sweating from interfering with work or daily life.
