What is excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis?
If sweating is a mechanism that serves to regulate your body temperature and you sweat when it is not hot it means that excessive sweating is a misinterpretation of your body.
In other words, your sweat glands send excess sweat to the outside when there is no excessive heat, that is, when you don’t need it.
What is hyperhidrosis?
Sweating is normal since it is a mechanism that helps you regulate your body temperature.
Causes of hyperhidrosis
It is known that in healthy patients it is determined by heredity, but the causes of this disordered reaction of the sympathetic nervous system when it generates primary sweating are unknown…
This implies that it is possible that your excessive sweating is caused by a disease that causes it.
What triggers excessive sweating?
Without evidence of high temperature, excessive sweating occurs with:
- Moderate physical exercise
- Pain
- Anxiety
Serious symptoms of excessive sweating
⦁ Withdraw from society and avoid social gatherings.
⦁ Additional transient increases in sweating
⦁ Increased excessive night sweating.
Differences between primary and secondary sweating?
The difference is that primary sweating does not occur in response to an illness, but secondary sweating does.
This means that you should consult your chest surgeon to find out if it is caused by a disease before trying treatments to alleviate the symptom.
What are sweat glands and how do they work?
The glands that direct sweat out through the pores to cool or facilitate thermoregulatory function.
Hiperhidrosis
How many types of sweat glands are there?
Eccrine sweat glands
Thermo-regulating eccrines in connection with the sympathetic nervous system, present in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, are those that regulate most sweating.
Epocrine glands
Apocrine sweat glands concentrated where there is hair, such as in the armpits, producing sweat and bad odor.
