Hyperhidrosis, known as excessive sweating, is a condition characterised by the production of sweat in quantities that exceed the body's need for cooling. This excessive sweating can occur regardless of the external temperature and during periods of rest. While sweating is essential for regulating body temperature and maintaining electrolyte balance, hyperhidrosis can lead to complications such as skin infections, social discomfort, and psychological distress. The exact cause of hyperhidrosis remains unclear, but it is believed to involve the overactivity of sweat glands as a contributing factor.
At Apollo Hospitals in Mumbai, individuals suffering from hyperhidrosis have access to the services of some of the best doctors treating excessive perspiration. The doctors treating sweating disorders at Apollo Hospitals are exceptionally skilled and trained to offer comprehensive care tailored to address the challenges of hyperhidrosis effectively.
Hyperhidrosis can be classified into two primary types:
Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis: This type involves excessive sweating, usually in a specific part of the body, commonly affecting the palms, feet, underarms, or face. It typically starts in childhood or adolescence and may improve over time.
Secondary Generalised Hyperhidrosis: This often causes sweating all over the body or in a large area of the body. It usually develops in adulthood and is often associated with an underlying medical condition or triggered by taking certain medications.
Some common symptoms of hyperhidrosis include:
Excessive sweating that disrupts daily activities
Clammy or wet palms and soles
Frequent skin infections due to dampness
Strong body odour due to bacterial growth on sweat-covered skin
Doctors specialising in sweat disorder treatment employ several methods to confirm the diagnosis:
Medical History: The doctor will inquire about past and present health conditions, medications, family history of hyperhidrosis, and any triggers or exacerbating factors.
Physical Examination: This includes assessing the severity of sweating, looking for visible signs like dampness or moisture, and checking for complications such as skin infections.
Starch-Iodine Test: This involves applying an iodine solution followed by starch powder to visualize areas of excessive sweating.
Thermoregulatory Sweat Test (TST): This evaluates sweat patterns in response to controlled heating and cooling cycles.
The expert team of doctors specialising in hyperhidrosis syndrome treatment at Apollo Hospitals in Mumbai, strive to provide the best personalised care and treatment plans for every patient. The treatment options include:
Prescription Antiperspirants: Antiperspirants containing aluminium chloride, which can block sweat glands to reduce sweating may be prescribed.
Iontophoresis: This treatment uses a device to deliver mild electrical currents while the hands or feet are submerged in water effectively reducing sweating.
Botox Injections: Botox injections can temporarily block nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, providing relief from excessive sweating.
Sweat Gland Removal or Disconnection: In severe cases, sweat glands may be removed or disconnected through minimally invasive surgery.
