Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating-Armpit)
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by excessive sweating of the hands, feet, face, and other areas of the body. The amount of sweat produced is typically far greater than the amount of sweat necessary to regulate body temperature. The exact cause of hyperhidrosis is unknown, but it is thought to be due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. There is evidence to suggest that it can be caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system. This system is responsible for regulating heart rate, blood pressure, and sweating. Hyperhidrosis can make the area around the armpits damp and uncomfortable, and the sweat can even make it difficult to wear certain clothing.
