Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition associated with abnormal or excessive sweating that is not necessarily related to heat or exercise. It occurs when the nerves responsible for signaling sweat glands become overactive without a trigger. The condition can worsen under stress. Hyperhidrosis can be genetic or occur due to other medical conditions like – diabetes, menopause hot flashes, overactive thyroid, low blood sugar, nervous system disorders, infection, heart attack, or even in some types of cancer. Hyperhidrosis treatment usually begins with prescribing medicated antiperspirants, medicines, and therapies. In severe cases, it may need surgery to remove the sweat glands to disconnect the nerves responsible for the overproduction of sweat.
