Hyperhidrosis Pathological

Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which a person has excessive sweat production, which can lead to discomfort and health problems. Hyperhidrosis is characterized by the development of persistent problems with the armpits, sweat glands and foot area. There are several types of pathological hyperhidrosis, which can be caused by different reasons and require different treatment methods.

First degree hyperhidrosis is not very noticeable externally. This condition is associated with a small amount of sweat secreted (about 30 drops per 1 hour), which occurs during intense physical activity or excitement. Sweat can be easily eliminated with regular antiperspirants.

If there is significant sweating (hyperhidrosis of the second degree), then this is associated with the release of up to 200 drops of sweat in 1 hour or more. With this type of sweating, sweat can remain in beads on clothing for a long time. Treatment of second-degree hyperhidrosis without the use of special medications is ineffective or does not produce a noticeable result.

Pathological stage III hyperhidrosis is complex and requires medical intervention. Increased sweating is associated with significant sweat production (up to 1 liter per day). All this is accompanied by a strong odor and causes irritation of surrounding tissues. Hygiene in secondary hyperhidrosis is difficult and extremely important.

Treatment of the disease begins with diagnosis, and then the most effective way to eliminate the pathology is selected. Most often, medications are prescribed aimed at regulating the functions of the sweat glands and normalizing metabolic processes in the body. Drug therapy
