excessive sweating

Why do i have hyperhidrosis when only 4% of people in country suffer with it?
If its not caused by a medical problem,as investigated by your doctor,well its just one of those things some people are born with.You may benefit from botox injections,beta blocker


medication,anti perspirants,or the drionic electronic device that some doctors endorse.Surgery is possible in rare cases,but not without dangers side effects,such as sweating more in another part of the body.See below for details.
Reply:you're in that 4%
Reply:Because you are one of the 4%. Don't forget that there are a lot of things you DON'T have that a larger amount of people than 4% DO.
Reply:You don't say how old you are - unfortunately, it usually hits people when they are at a most sensitive age - puberty.


Should you be in that age group, hold on to the thought that it very often clears up by itself by your mid-20's to early 30's.


You'll have to really work at keeping yourself fresh and sweet - wear natural fibres such as cotton, and leather shoes or sandals, use good antiperspirants.


There is an operation, in extremis, should your underarms be most affected; it's called endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy and involves destroying the nerve centres in the chest which control arm sweating.


It will give you the opportunity to empathise with older women going through menopause accompanied by "hot flushes"!!


Hold on to the thought that it will probably pass.
Reply:My sister has the same thing. The doctors are useless with this problem - they keep telling my sister to wash more, but she's already having 2 showers a day! You're just unlucky I'm afraid.


There is a minor operation that you can have on your sweat glands that is meant to be really effective. May be worth looking into...
