A number of people have to deal with the effects of hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive sweating. This distressing condition results in an abnormal amount of smelly sweat coming from pores under your skin. While most suffers do have underarm sweat, they also have a lot of sweat from other areas of their body, including their head, neck, back and feet. Though the symptoms of this disorder are relatively similar, there are actually a few different causes. Therefore, it is important to first determine the cause of your hyperhidrosis before you have find an effective treatment.

 

One common cause of this disorder is anxiety. People who suffer from high anxiety and nervousness sometimes also have to deal with the problem of excessive sweating. Because their underlying condition of hyperhidrosis is activated by their anxiety, they sweat excessively when they get nervous. For these individuals, an anti-anxiety medication from their psychiatrist can go a long way in decreasing their symptoms.

 

There are many other activities that can cause you to sweat. If you have hyperhidrosis, any of these activities can result in soaked clothing and uncomfortable situations. Luckily, there are also a few options for treating this issue as well. Sometimes it is hard to tell if your anxiety is causing you to sweat or if you are anxious because you are sweating. Either way, a doctor can help you figure out this issue. If anxiety is not your coexisting issue, you may want to try one of these treatments.

 

One such treatment involves getting a botox injection. This type of nerve agent effectively paralyzes the nerves that act upon your sweat glands. If these nerves cannot signal your pores, you will not sweat. Unfortunately, this treatment is not a permanent solution and must be repeated several times per year. For this reason, a lot of people prefer to get a small surgical procedure instead.

 

An additional treatment involves the help of a breast implants surgeon. She or he will perform a minor operation on either your nerves or sweat glands. The purpose of this operation is to either block the nerves from sending signals or otherwise disable your sweat glands permanently.

 

The thought of undergoing an elective surgical procedure may be distressing for some people. However, this treatment is highly effective and has been around for a few decades. If you are suffering from hyperhidrosis and want to stop sweating, speak to a cosmetic underarm sweat surgeon about your options.
