Excessive Sweating Top 10 Causes and treatment

Definition of Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, occurs when more sweat is produced than necessary for body thermoregulation.
Temperature Regulation: Sweating is essential for regulating body temperature, especially when the external temperature rises.
Primary vs. Secondary Hyperhidrosis: Most hyperhidrosis cases are secondary, caused by other diseases or environmental factors. Primary hyperhidrosis occurs without other underlying medical conditions.
Stress and Anxiety: Stress and anxiety are the most common causes of excessive sweating, accounting for about 30% of cases.
High Temperature and Humidity: Sweating increases at temperatures between 75-80°F (24-28°C) and with high humidity, which reduces evaporation.
Physical Activity: Sweating begins within 10 minutes of brisk walking and almost immediately during high-intensity exercise.
Hyperthyroidism: An overactive thyroid increases metabolism and heat production, leading to excessive sweating.
Menopause: Hormonal fluctuations during menopause cause the hypothalamus to misinterpret body temperature, resulting in hot flashes and night sweats.
Medications: Antidepressants, antipyretics, and blood pressure medications can stimulate sweating due to their effects on the hypothalamus and sympathetic nervous system.
Treatment Options: Treatments include managing underlying conditions, using aluminum-based antiperspirants, beta-blockers, benzodiazepines, and Botox injections. Deodorants reduce odor but do not affect sweat production.
