What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for regulating body temperature. While not life-threatening, hyperhidrosis can be socially embarrassing like shaking hands, hugging somebody, and interfere with daily life. It commonly affects the hands, feet, face, palm and soles and underarms.

Hyperhidrosis is classified into two types:

  • Primary Hyperhidrosis: Sweating occurs in specific areas like the palms, soles, face, and underarms. It often begins in childhood or adolescence and can be genetic
  • Secondary Hyperhidrosis: Sweating affects larger areas of the body and is caused by underlying medical conditions like diabetes, obesity, or menopause

Understanding which type of hyperhidrosis you have is crucial for selecting the right treatment. Homeopathy effectively addresses both forms of excessive sweating.

Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis

Unpleasant Body Odor

Excessive sweating, especially in the armpits and feet, creates a damp environment that promotes bacterial growth, leading to strong body odor.

Sweating During Stress or Heat

Some individuals experience profuse sweating when they feel anxious, stressed, or exposed to hot weather, which can significantly affect confidence and comfort.

Common Causes of Excessive Sweating

Hyperhidrosis can be triggered by multiple factors, including:

Thyroid, Diabetes, and More

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like hyperthyroidism and menopause can increase sweating
  • Genetics: Primary hyperhidrosis runs in families
  • Anxiety and Stress: Emotional triggers can heighten sweat production, especially in social settings
  • Lifestyle Factors: Consumption of excessive meat spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol can trigger excessive sweating
  • Medications and drugs

Dr Batra’s® pro tip:

"Excessive sweating isn’t just a discomfort—it can indicate underlying health issues or severe emotional disturbances/ distress. (stress and anxiety) Homeopathy treats the root cause rather than masking symptoms, providing long-term relief without side effects. Pairing treatment with lifestyle modifications can significantly improve quality of life including emotional well being " – Dr. Akshay Batra

When to Seek Medical Attention for Hyperhidrosis?

If sweating becomes uncontrollable, persistent, or affects daily life, consult a doctor. Symptoms that require attention include:

  • Excessive sweating at night
  • Profuse sweating even in cool temperatures
  • Sudden changes in sweating patterns
  • Skin rashes, infections, or irritation due to prolonged moisture exposure
