Our body needs sweat in order to cool down when the temperatures
become too high. In nature, we see many creatures using
different methods to keep a constant body temperature – sweating
is our way of doing it. Unfortunately, some people experience
excessive sweat, a condition known as hyperhidrosis, in which
the sweat levels are higher than necessary. The condition occurs
because of the overactive sympathetic nervous system and can
cause severe social obstacles.
The central command center for sweat related processes is the
hypothalamus. The brain sends information to the sweat nerves
which then pass it along to the sweat glands. When shis system
gets overactive, the sweat glends produce larger amounts of
sweat, resulting in the condition known as hyperhidrosis.
Different stimuli can contribute to this process. The most
common include nervousness, outside pressure, anxiety, stress.
Social interactions may also trigger excessive sweat, because
they are the environtments when all of the above mentioned
factors become active. When a person suffering from
hyperhidrosis is engaged in social interactions the strength of
the outside stimuli increases, making that person more
susceptible to sweat extensively.
Unless you are suffereing from hyperhidrossi, you will have a
hard time believing that sweat can cause so many problems.
However, this is a reality around 1% of the world’s population
has to deal with. Sweaty hands, feet or face – these are serious
issues that can have a profound effect on a person’s self
confidence and self respect. When you are afraid of social
interactions, thinking that your dialog partenrs will notice the
problem, you tend to get more and more introvertite. Avoiding
social interactions becomes more and more frequent, as
hyperhidrosis tends to aggravate during times of anxiety.
People suffering from pedal hyperhidrosis, also known as
excessive foot sweat, will also notice numerous difficulties in
their every day lives. Handling any sort of paper or delicate
electronic equipment becomes a nightmare, as everything becomes
moist and unusable. While there are several medicaion
treatments, many excessive sweat patients don’t see results that
are worth mentioning – they might, but only after a while. This
is partly because they lack essential information concerning
their problem. If you are suffering from hyperhidrosis and you
are using medication treatments prescribed 2-3 years ago, you
might want to check out the new treatments available. For more
