HOW EXCESSIVE SWEATING PASSES?
Sweating is a normal function, but it is uncomfortable when it is excessive. Dermatologist Dr. in Turkey offered solutions to this problem, which many complain about…
Excessive sweating, known in medicine as ‘hyperhidrosis’, is defined as the work of the sweat glands more than usual without any triggers. It usually occurs in the areas of the hands, feet and armpits. ‘Sweating is a common problem, but sweating without interruption can lead to some problems,’ said dermatologist Dr explained what is curious about this problem that negatively affects the quality of life.
.
THERE ARE MANY REASONS
Excessive sweating can be due to an underlying cause (secondary) or without any cause (primary). Primary hyperhidrosis is much more common in society. Among the main diseases, diabetes, endocrine diseases such as thyroid, Parkinson’s, neurological causes such as spinal injuries, brain tumors, malignancies such as non-hodgkin’s lymphoma leukemia, infections such as tuberculosis, some medications such as antidepressants can cause excessive sweating. Excessive sweating without cause (primary hyperhidrosis) can affect the armpits, palms, soles of the feet, face, scalp and groin area. Armpit involvement is most common.
.
DECREASES WITH AGE
The incidence in men and women is equal. It starts at an average age of around 25 years, but age groups that start later and earlier have also been reported. A spontaneous decrease in excessive sweating with age is common, especially in patients with early onset.
Here are the treatment methods;
- Riding treatments: among these, creams containing aluminum chloride and glycopyrolate are among the first agents that can be preferred. Oral anticholinergic effective drugs can be used when riding treatments are insufficient. But these drugs are often not preferred, as they can have severe side effects such as palpitations, rhythm disorders.
.
- Lontophoresis: a method that can often be used in hand and foot sweats. In this application, a 15-25 milliamper anodal current is applied to the sweating area. If the desired effect is achieved with 3 or 5 sessions per week, maintenance treatment is switched with one session per week.
.
- Botox: the most common practice we do for sweating in clinical practice today is Botox, which is extremely common in Modern Dermatology. This application for sweating can be applied in areas such as armpits, palms, soles of feet, groin, scalp. The area is first numbed with anesthetic creams. After that, Botox injection is performed in the application area at regular intervals. Although the effect varies according to the person, it is between 4-6 months. This application is from the summer months when sweating is excessive it can be done first.
.
- Micro-magnetic radiofrequency: in this application, the sweating area, such as Botox, is numbed with anesthetic creams. Radiofrequency is given under the skin with 2-3 mm diameter needles. With this given radiofrequency energy, the number of sweat glands in the sweating area is reduced. Application is usually applied at intervals of 4-6 sessions per month.

WAYS TO REDUCE PERSPIRATION
Although there are no specific recommendations that reduce sweating attacks, patients with hyperhidrosis may be advised to avoid spicy foods that can increase sweating. Some herbal agents used to treat the disease can cause irritation and allergies. For this reason, such content should not be used without consulting a doctor in Turkey. Support can be obtained in this regard, especially if there is an underlying psychiatric condition, such as anxiety. In addition, avoiding stress can also reduce the frequency of sweating. Deep breathing, listening to music, or acquiring a hobby can help reduce stress.
