Hyperhidrosis is spontaneous increased sweating caused by a variety of causes, with symptoms including paroxysmal localized sweating or generalized increased sweating. The following are the symptoms and manifestations of hyperhidrosis:
Paroxysmal localized hyperhidrosis: usually occurs in children or adolescents and can occur in both men and women. The most common sites of this type of hyperhidrosis are the palms and plantars and friction surfaces such as the armpits, groin, perineum, etc. Sweating in localized hyperhidrosis is usually caused by mood swings, does not distinguish between seasons, and may present with cold hands and feet or even cyanosis. Over time, it may be accompanied by keratinization of the hands and feet. In addition, armpit hyperhidrosis is caused by the overactivity of the eccrine glands, unlike axillary odor, which is mainly caused by the apocrine glands.
Generalized hyperhidrosis: generalized hyperhidrosis, usually caused by infectious hyperthermia, mainly due to other disorders. Other disorders, such as damage to the central nervous system, including the cortex and basal ganglia, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves, can also cause excessive sweating throughout the body. This type of hyperhidrosis usually occurs after excitement or eating, but sometimes a heat stimulus can occur, indicating that the subcortical center is particularly hot (the hypothalamus also plays a role).
In addition to the above symptoms, hyperhidrosis can also lead to some complications. Long-term excessive sweating may lead to maceration, peeling, erythema, itching, and other problems. In addition, hyperhidrosis may also affect the mental health of patients, such as anxiety, depression and other emotional problems.
For hyperhidrosis**, the appropriate method can be selected according to the condition. Oral medications can be used symptomatic**, such as anticholinergic drugs or antidepressants. Topical medications, such as antiperspirants, can also provide some relief. Botulinum toxin injections can suppress the secretion of sweat glands, but the effect is not long-lasting. Surgery** such as removal or destruction of sweat glands is a more radical approach, but needs to be chosen carefully.
For the prevention of hyperhidrosis, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key. Maintain a good diet and avoid irritants such as excessive alcohol consumption and spicy foods. Maintain proper exercise and exercise to boost your body's immunity. At the same time, pay attention to maintaining a calm mood and avoid mood swings such as excessive tension and anxiety.
In summary, symptoms of hyperhidrosis include paroxysmal localized sweating or generalized increased sweating, which is common in children or adolescents and can occur in both men and women. Hyperhidrosis can lead to problems and mental health problems that need to be prompted and prevented. **Methods include oral medications, topical medications, botulinum toxin injections and surgery**, etc., and the appropriate method needs to be selected according to the condition. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is also key to preventing hyperhidrosis.
