Just Need To Stop That Excessive Sweating?

By Gulliver Reid


Do you suffer from excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis? If the you do, you know how embarrassing it can be.

Excessive sweating or Hyperhidrosis is in fact much more widespread than you'd like to think. Sweating is embarrassing; it stains clothes and affects both males and females at all ages. It's normally a severe and emotionally distressing issue for people with the condition.

What triggers it tends to vary from person to person. Some find themselves sweating during moments of stress, especially work related. People who sweat excessively are frequently anxious about their condition, and it may lead to social withdrawal. This anxiety makes the sweating worse.

The fundamental explanation for excessive sweating is that a segment of the sympathetic nervous system is responsible for this presentation. What is the sympathetic chain you ask? This is an autonomous component of the nervous system on which we have no control.

Commonly affected areas of the body are the hands, feet, and armpits. Regardless of where it occurs, excessive sweating presents an incredible problem to those living with the condition.

Fortunately the problem can be treated. It can also be controlled and prevented by making a few changes to your daily lifestyle. Drink More Water to help cool down its core temperature. Healthier Diet, Avoid Drinking alcohol and caffeine, and foods that are spicy are packed full of toxins and ingredients that make us sweat more.

Many forms of treatment are available to treat hyperhidrosis. Medications, topical antiperspirants, iontophoresis, Botox and surgery have been tried to treat hyperhidrosis. Perhaps the biggest challenge in treating hyperhidrosis is that so many people are reluctant to seek medical advice, either because of embarrassment or a mistaken belief that nothing can be done to improve their symptoms.
