What are the types of Hyperhidrosis?

There are two main types of hyperhidrosis:
Primary Hyperhidrosis: This type occurs without any underlying medical condition and usually affects specific areas like the underarms, hands, and feet.
Secondary Hyperhidrosis: This type is caused by another medical condition, such as an overactive thyroid, menopause, or medications.

What are the symptoms of Hyperhidrosis?

Common symptoms of hyperhidrosis include:
Excessive sweating in specific areas (hands, feet, underarms, face)
Uncontrollable sweating even when not physically active or under stress
Sweating that interrupts daily activities or affects work and social interactions
Body odor due to excess moisture
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis.

What are the causes of Hyperhidrosis?

The exact cause of primary hyperhidrosis is unknown, but it may be related to overactivity of the sweat glands. Secondary hyperhidrosis is usually caused by other medical conditions such as hormonal imbalances, infection, or medications.

How is Hyperhidrosis diagnosed?

A healthcare provider can diagnose hyperhidrosis based on your medical history and a physical exam. They may also perform tests to rule out any underlying causes, particularly for secondary hyperhidrosis. In some cases, specialized tests like those from the Mayo Clinic may be necessary for diagnosis and treatment. sweat tests or starch-iodine tests may be used.

What treatments are available for Hyperhidrosis?

There are several treatment options for hyperhidrosis, including:
Topical Antiperspirants: Specially formulated to reduce sweat production, often containing aluminum chloride.
Iontophoresis: A treatment that uses a mild electrical current to reduce sweating in the hands and feet for people with hyperhidrosis.
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Injections that temporarily block the nerves responsible for sweating.
Medications: Oral medications that help reduce sweat production.
Surgical Options: In severe cases, procedures like liposuction may be recommended. endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) or sweat gland removal may be recommended for the diagnosis and treatment of hyperhidrosis.

Can Hyperhidrosis be treated with surgery?

Yes, surgical treatments for focal hyperhidrosis are available for severe cases of hyperhidrosis, such as endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS), which involves cutting or clipping nerves that trigger sweating. In some cases, sweat glands may also be surgically removed.

Can Hyperhidrosis be managed without medical intervention?

For mild cases, lifestyle changes like wearing breathable fabrics, using absorbent powders, and avoiding triggers like stress or spicy foods may help manage symptoms. However, for more persistent or severe cases, medical treatments are often necessary.

Can Hyperhidrosis be a sign of an underlying medical condition?

Yes, secondary hyperhidrosis can be a sign of an underlying condition, such as an overactive thyroid, menopause, or obesity. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any other potential causes.

Where can I find treatment for Hyperhidrosis?

Treatment options for hyperhidrosis are available at many medical centers and dermatology clinics. It’s recommended to consult a healthcare provider who specializes in skin conditions or sweating disorders for the most effective treatment options tailored to your needs, especially for people with hyperhidrosis.

Yes. Botox is one of the most effective treatments for axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) and is approved by regulators for this use.

What is the best treatment for hyperhidrosis?

It depends on the severity and location. Botox and iontophoresis are commonly considered best for targeted results. Your practitioner will advise the best option during consultation.

How long does Botox last for hyperhidrosis?

Botox typically lasts 4 to 6 months for most people. After this period, you may need a repeat session.

How do I stop sweating so much?

Lifestyle changes, medical-grade antiperspirants, and treatments like Botox or iontophoresis can help reduce excessive sweating effectively.

In some cases, yes — but access can be limited, and treatments like Botox are often restricted. Many choose private clinics for faster, tailored care.
