Hyperhidrosis is the condition that sweating more than is needed to regulate body temperature, usually referred to as primary hyperhidrosis, which manifests as paroxysmal localized or generalized hyperhidrosis. The causes of hyperhidrosis are divided into disease and functional disorders, among which hyperhidrosis caused by systemic diseases mainly occurs in certain parts. Hyperhidrosis can affect the axillae, palmoplantar and groin, and is divided into generalized, hemibody, fascicular, segmental, distal, and localized.
Hyperhidrosis can be divided into neurological and non-neurological. Nervous hyperhidrosis refers to the control of nerve reflexes, and non-neuropathic refers to the action of peripheral non-neuropathic factors, excitatory responses at the glandular level. Hyperhidrosis can also be divided into disease and functional disorders, among which systemic diseases such as infectious hyperthermia, endocrine disorders and hormonal disorders, central nervous system lesions, etc. may cause systemic hyperhidrosis. Functional disorders may be related to mental factors, constitution, reflexivity and other factors.
The clinical manifestations of hyperhidrosis can be divided into generalized hyperhidrosis and focal hyperhidrosis. Generalized hyperhidrosis is relatively rare and is mainly caused by other diseases, such as infectious hyperthermia. Focal hyperhidrosis is more common, often beginning in children or adolescents, often with a family history and a tendency to resolve spontaneously in adulthood. Symptoms of hyperhidrosis include turning a white T-shirt into a yellow T-shirt after a summer, leaving fingerprints on paper when reading and writing, and being alienated when I was a child because of my "smell".
The diagnosis of hyperhidrosis requires a combination of the patient's medical history, family history, concomitant symptoms, and the doctor's observation and examination. If localized macroscopic hyperhidrosis persists for at least 6 months and there are no other causes of hyperhidrosis, then it is advisable to find a doctor for evaluation. At the same time, you can also preliminarily judge whether there are symptoms of hyperhidrosis through some small details.
*Methods of hyperhidrosis include medications, physics, and surgery. Medications are mainly administered against them, such as anticholinergic drugs, antidepressants, etc. Physics includes iontophormosis, radiation, etc. Surgery** is suitable for patients with hyperhidrosis who do not respond to conservative**, such as sweat gland resection.
In addition to **, the prevention of hyperhidrosis is also important. Preventive measures include keeping the body clean, avoiding mental stress, and paying attention to dietary adjustment. For example, keeping clothes dry, avoiding excessive exercise or eating spicy foods can reduce sweating. At the same time, maintaining a happy mood and avoiding excessive tension and anxiety are also important measures to prevent hyperhidrosis.
In short, hyperhidrosis is a common disease with diverse clinical manifestations. Prevention of hyperhidrosis requires comprehensive consideration of the patient's specific situation, including symptoms, family history, etc. With reasonable** and preventive measures, the symptoms of hyperhidrosis can be effectively alleviated and the quality of life of patients can be improved.
