Treatments For Excessive Sweating Wollongong
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. Sweating is your body’s standard mechanism of cooling itself; however, for people with hyperhidrosis, the body sweats at an abnormally high level.
People with hyperhidrosis fall into two categories; primary and secondary. Primary sufferers are the most comment type, with the cause largely unknown. Often commencing in childhood or adolescence, the most common areas affected are the palms, soles, armpits and sometimes the face and scalp. The condition appears to worsen during times of stress and anxiety and can occur in any climate; however, it is usually worse during periods of higher temperatures.
Secondary sufferers produce excessive sweating due to an underlying medical condition. Unlike primary sufferers, the condition may affect the entire body. Some possible causes include diabetes, an overactive thyroid gland, menopause, some medicines, obesity, damage to nerves from disease or injury, some medication (particularly antidepressants) and, very rarely, tumours.
A toxin has been found to be an effective treatment for people who sweat excessively from their armpit region and it works by blocking the nerves responsible for stimulating the sweat glands in the armpit area. The toxin paralyses the overactive nerves blocking them from sending signals to your sweat glands. The result is a reduction in excessive sweating and a return to a normal level of sweating. The effects may last between four and twelve months.
