What Is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is described as excessive sweating that is not caused by exercise or heat. Your body produces more sweat than it needs to regulate the temperature. If you sweat so much to the point where your clothes are soaked and your hands dripping with sweat, you might be suffering from hyperhidrosis. This type of sweating might appear on the scalp, palms, underarms, genitals, lower back, feet, or face.

Excessive sweating that disrupts your daily life and causes you embarrassment, discomfort, and anxiety needs to be treated. Your sweat glands overwork in the case of hyperhidrosis and this can cause infections, itching, body odor, and cracked or wrinkled skin. There are two main types of hyperhidrosis.

  • Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis: This is a chronic skin condition that can be hereditary, with no other apparent complications besides excessive sweating.
  • Secondary Generalized Hyperhidrosis: This type occurs as a side effect of an underlying medical condition or medication, leading to excessive sweating.

Some of the medical conditions that can cause hyperhidrosis are:

  • Infections,
  • Thyroid problems,
  • Parkinson’s disease,
  • Heart disease or heart failure,
  • Some types of cancer,
  • Obesity,
  • Diabetes,
  • Anxiety,
  • Menopause,
  • Nervous system disorders.

Hyperhidrosis treatment usually begins with antiperspirants and continues with either medications, therapies, or surgery to remove sweat glands depending on the specialist’s suggestions based on your individual needs.

How To Treat Excessive Sweating

If you suspect that you might have hyperhidrosis, you should see a specialist to determine whether it is genetic or if there are any external reasons for it. The appropriate treatment is determined according to your specific needs.

Your healthcare provider can use some tests to ascertain whether you have hyperhidrosis such as:

  • Paper Test: A special paper absorbs sweat and shows how much you sweat.
  • Blood or Imaging Tests: Your healthcare provider takes blood samples or images under your skin to identify the causes of excessive sweating.
  • Starch-Iodine Test: An iodine solution is applied to the skin, which turns dark blue in areas of excess sweat.

If you want to treat your hyperhidrosis at home you can:

  • Use deodorants or antiperspirants,
  • Wear breathable clothes with natural materials such as cotton, silk, and wool,
  • Shower frequently,
  • Change socks 1-2 times a day to keep your feet dry.

In the cases of hyperhidrosis which is not manageable with at-home methods, an expert might recommend medications including creams, wipes, or nerve-blocking medications. Some operations can also be considered, including:

  • Microwave Therapy: A special device emits heat to destroy sweat glands in the affected area.
  • Iontophoresis: Your hands or feet are put in a tub of tap water with a device that emits a low electrical current through the water to block the sweat glands.
  • Topical Aluminum Chloride Treatment: This treatment, similar to antiperspirant deodorants, is often the first line of defense.
  • Injections: These injections provide relief from hyperhidrosis for up to 6 months.
  • Sweat Gland Removal: The sweat glands are removed through cutting, liposuction, scraping, or laser.

Sympathectomy (Nerve Surgery): A small part of the spinal nerves that control sweating is removed.

Hyperhidrosis cost in Turkey fluctuates based on several factors, including:

  • Where do you get your treatment,

  • The experience of the specialist,
  • The complexity of your treatment.

Hyperhidrosis treatment prices are usually not covered by insurance and the cost of excessive sweating in Turkey starts from €320 at Vanity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hyperhidrosis treatments are considered to be safe operations and procedures.

Hyperhidrosis treatment might cause a little discomfort but it is usually painless.

There are two types of excessive sweating which are primary hyperhidrosis and secondary hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis is not caused by another medical condition, unlike secondary hyperhidrosis, which occurs as a result of an underlying health issue.

While the amount of sweat can vary based on different factors, the average person produces around 0.5 to 2 liters of sweat per hour during physical activity and a minimum of 3 liters per day.

Hyperhidrosis might be caused by an underlying medical condition but it can also be purely genetic. It results from nerve signals falsely triggering the sweat glands to become overactive.

Excessive sweating might become alarming if it comes along with nausea, chest pain, or lightheadedness. Consult your healthcare providers if you experience any unusual condition besides your sweating.

Excessive sweating without severe exercise, heat, or anxiety is the primary symptom of hyperhidrosis.

Staying hydrated can help regulate your body temperature, preventing it from rising to levels that trigger sweating and therefore cool the body down and reduce excessive sweating.
