Hyperhidrosis Physiological

Hyperhidrosis is a disorder characterized by excessive sweating, especially in the armpits, palms and soles. It may be physiological or pathological, and its symptoms may vary depending on the type. In this article we will look at physiological hyperhidrosis.

**Physiological hyperhidrosis**. The physiological causes of hyperhidrosis are related to the functioning of the body and do not have any pathological effect on its health. These include: * climatic conditions (hot weather) and meteorological changes (temperature changes); * psychophysiological state; * physical activity; * nervous

Physiological hyperhidrosis (functional hyperhidrosis, FH) is a pathological condition caused by increased sweat production, in which the balance between its production and extravasation into the environment is disturbed. Sweat of increased volume and/or temperature (higher than normal temperature or sticky feeling) is produced. This type of hyperhidrosis (not of pathological causes) occurs in 6–30% of people, about 15 times more often in women than in men. Excessive local sweating (arms, palms, axillary areas, soles of the feet) is diagnosed in the vast majority of cases. It is necessary to distinguish physiological hyperhidrosis from other forms of hyperhidrosis, such as hyperhidrosis of an infectious, post-inflammatory nature, endogenous, neurogenic. The occurrence of this disease is unpredictable; it is a consequence of various events (emotional stress, sports stress, etc.). Hyperhidrosis can be associated with both emotional stress and physical activity, so your doctor must decide what conditions trigger excessive sweat production. Trigger symptoms
