Combat Excessive Sweat:

What to do about excessive sweating?

Sweating that exceeds the needs of the body–medically termed hyperhidrosis–is fairly common, affecting 1%–3% of the population. But with some few tips, you can reduce the ammount of sweat to an acceptable level.

We need sweating to control body temperature; water evaporating from the skin cools the body. Sweating is under the control of the sympathetic nervous system, which orchestrates the body’s reaction to stressful situations and emergencies.

Generalized sweating could be a sign of a hormonal condition, infection, cancer, or anxiety disorder that requires treatment.

Hyperhidrosis can be treated in several ways. Topical antiperspirants are the first-line treatment for underarm sweating and are also effective on hands and feet.

A procedure called iontophoresis has been used for more than 50 years to treat excessive sweating on the hands or feet, and more recently, in the underarm. Your hands or feet are submerged in lukewarm tap water for 10–20 minutes while a mild electric current is passed through the water.

Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections are FDA-approved for treating underarm hyperhidrosis. They have also been found effective for hands and feet and are the treatment of choice for marked hyperhidrosis.

Some doctors prescribe oral anticholinergic medications (drugs that reduce the activity of acetylcholine) to curb the sweat glands, but this approach is not approved by the FDA.

In severe cases, surgery can be performed to cut the sympathetic nerves to the sweat glands (sympathectomy). Also, take in mind that sweating can be caused due to periods of stress. Sometimes it is enough to take the stress away. That can be done with breathing excersises
