Constantly sweaty palms, wet spots on clothes, drops running down the face &#8211; all this does not add confidence at all.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to start<\/h2>\n<p>Treatment of hyperhidrosis should begin with a visit to the therapist. First you need to figure out whether it is an independent disease or a symptom of another pathology. You may have to go through many specialists. The therapist may refer the patient to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>to a dermatologist to check for dermatosis and inflammation of the sweat glands;<\/li>\n<li>an endocrinologist to assess the condition of the thyroid gland, check the hormonal background and exclude diabetes mellitus;<\/li>\n<li>a neurologist to check for nervous disorders;<\/li>\n<li>a cardiologist to rule out angina pectoris;<\/li>\n<li>orthopedist (often sweating of the legs is associated with flat feet);<\/li>\n<li>psychotherapist, because sometimes a person needs to learn how to resist stress, control their emotions and maintain a calm mood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Therefore, you need to be prepared for the fact that you will have to pass all the necessary tests and undergo examinations prescribed by narrow specialists.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Types of pathology<\/h2>\n<p>There are several classifications of the disease. The first &#8211; depending on the cause of development:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Primary &#8211; no known cause.<\/li>\n<li>Secondary &#8211; a consequence of another disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The second &#8211; depending on the prevalence:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>local;<\/li>\n<li>plantar;<\/li>\n<li>facial;<\/li>\n<li>distal hyperhidrosis (palms and legs);<\/li>\n<li>axillary;<\/li>\n<li>inguinal-perineal;<\/li>\n<li><strong>palmar hyperhidrosis;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>general (generalized).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Third &#8211; in terms of severity:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>light;<\/li>\n<li>moderate severity of the course;<\/li>\n<li>heavy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fourth &#8211; downstream:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>intermittent &#8211; aggravated by periods, from time to time;<\/li>\n<li>seasonal &#8211; develops most often in the hot season due to increased air temperature;<\/li>\n<li>constant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is also nocturnal and emotional hyperhidrosis. In the first case, a person suffers from increased sweating during sleep, in the second &#8211; with strong emotions, stress and worries.<\/p>\n<p>If this is an independent disease, then it is quite possible to get rid of it. They say that the observance of a special diet, which excludes the use of fatty, spicy foods, carbonated drinks, and caffeine, is positively reflected on a person's condition. It is important to follow all the rules of hygiene, take a shower regularly, try to dress according to the weather, choose clothes and shoes made from natural materials.<\/p>\n<h2>Existing treatments<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-466083-6333e45a583e3.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-bGlnaHRib3g=\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"  title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-466083-6333e45a583e3.jpg\" alt=\"Treatment of hyperhidrosis: an overview of the most effective and modern methods\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Correction of hyperhidrosis with drugs and compliance with the rules of hygiene do not always work, so you have to look for more radical methods. This is especially true when a patient is diagnosed with generalized hyperhidrosis. But this form is quite rare.<\/p>\n<p>Possible ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>electrophoresis;<\/li>\n<li>taking certain medications;<\/li>\n<li>sweat injections with Botox;<\/li>\n<li>sympathectomy &#8211; intersection or clamping of nerves;<\/li>\n<li>curettage &#8211; scraping the skin from the inside in the problem area.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The latter method is rarely used.<\/p>\n<h3>Armpit botulinum therapy<\/h3>\n<p>This method is considered one of the most famous and effective. It is used to treat localized hyperhidrosis. In this case, botulinum toxin is most often injected into the armpits.<\/p>\n<p>The agent blocks impulses from the sweating fibers to the glands, while not disturbing the normal heat and water exchange of the skin. As a result, sweat is not released, and the person enjoys the result for six months or more.<\/p>\n<p>It must be said that injections into the armpits from sweat help with the second and even third stages of the disease.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The advantages of this method:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>minimum recovery period;<\/li>\n<li>safety (but always subject to the correct insertion technique);<\/li>\n<li>long-term effect;<\/li>\n<li>no need for prior preparation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After the procedure, there may be slight swelling. Nodules and redness may also appear, which will disappear in a few days. At this time, you can not use antiperspirants, do massage, go to the bathhouse, swimming pool, exercise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-466083-6333e45b76f0b.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-bGlnaHRib3g=\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"  title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-466083-6333e45b76f0b.jpg\" alt=\"Treatment of hyperhidrosis: an overview of the most effective and modern methods\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Approximately on the 4th day, the drug will begin to act. After 14 days, the final result will be visible. When <strong>armpit hyperhidrosis<\/strong> begins to manifest itself again, you will have to repeat the treatment. But there is one nice bonus: each time the duration of exposure will increase, and the amount of the drug will decrease.<\/p>\n<h3>Laser treatment of hyperhidrosis<\/h3>\n<p>The laser is most effective if the patient is diagnosed with primary local hyperhidrosis in the armpit.<\/p>\n<p>After the procedure, the cells are not restored, so the increased sweating of the armpits disappears forever. But in exceptional cases, with a high intensity of sweating, the session has to be repeated.<\/p>\n<p>The whole procedure for armpit sweating, together with the preparatory stage, takes no more than one and a half hours. The patient is given local anesthesia and a small puncture with a medical needle to insert the light guide. The puncture heals without a trace on the second or third day.<\/p>\n<p>The advantages of this method of treating armpit hyperhidrosis:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exclusion of the formation of hematomas and overheating of tissues.<\/li>\n<li>Destruction of more than 70% of the sweat glands.<\/li>\n<li>Short recovery. The patient can immediately return to his usual rhythm of life.<\/li>\n<li>Hair growth slowdown. Many are pleased with the additional bonus: since the laser also acts on the hair follicles, the hair in the treated areas begins to grow more slowly.<\/li>\n<li>Complete painlessness and low trauma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-466083-6333e45c91040.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-bGlnaHRib3g=\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"  title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-466083-6333e45c91040.jpg\" alt=\"Treatment of hyperhidrosis: an overview of the most effective and modern methods\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Among the contraindications are hypersensitivity to the painkillers used, impaired functioning of the kidneys and liver, pregnancy and the period of HB, acute inflammatory processes in problem areas.<\/p>\n<h3>Surgical treatment of hyperhidrosis<\/h3>\n<p>Surgery can be done in several ways. They differ in the degree of trauma and effectiveness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Operational. This is the complete removal of the sweat glands through an incision in the armpits.<\/li>\n<li>Liposuction. It is the pumping out of fatty tissues along with the sweat glands through the tubules.<\/li>\n<li>Traditional. This is a dissection of the cervical or thoracic region and blockage or destruction of the sympathetic nerve. For this, chemicals, current or clips can be used.<\/li>\n<li>Endoscopic. Pretty good technique. The doctor makes 2 small incisions where he inserts microscopic instruments and cuts the nerve branches or blocks them with a clip.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this way, you can remove excessive sweating of the armpits or other parts of the body forever. But due to the high traumatization, there is a risk of many side effects, among the most unpleasant of which is compensatory hyperhidrosis. As a result, in the operated area, sweating really decreases, but increases in other areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the operation, the patient should be under the supervision of a doctor for at least 2-3 days. Within 1.5 months you can not swim in the reservoirs, visit the pool, bath, sauna.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Hyperhidrosis in children<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-466083-6333e45d972c9.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-bGlnaHRib3g=\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"  title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-466083-6333e45d972c9.jpg\" alt=\"Treatment of hyperhidrosis: an overview of the most effective and modern methods\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Separately, you need to understand how to treat hyperhidrosis in children. Children's sweating is rarely a sign of serious illness, but more often it is due to natural factors &#8211; overheating, too warm clothes, rare ventilation in the room, too active games, overexcitation. Increased sweating in children and adolescents occurs for reasons such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>hormonal changes during puberty;<\/li>\n<li>malfunctions of the nervous system and thyroid gland;<\/li>\n<li>excess weight;<\/li>\n<li>helminthic invasions;<\/li>\n<li>lack of vitamin D;<\/li>\n<li>viral or bacterial infections;<\/li>\n<li>enlarged lymph nodes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In any case, only conservative external therapy is used for children. It includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>physiotherapy;<\/li>\n<li>proper nutrition;<\/li>\n<li>the fight against excess weight, if any;<\/li>\n<li>baths containing tannins, for example, from a decoction of oak bark;<\/li>\n<li>lifestyle changes;<\/li>\n<li>taking certain medications, depending on which disease causes increased sweating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With hyperhidrosis of the legs and palms, iontophoresis is often used. The hands and feet are immersed in pleasantly warm water through which a weak current is passed. No pain or discomfort is felt. To see the effect, several procedures lasting at least half an hour are enough.<\/p>\n<p>When treating children, doctors use only safe and proven methods.<\/p>\n<div id=\"PostUnique_PostSource\" style=\"padding-top: 50px\">Post source:  <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"\/\/salon.kr.ua\" class=\"external external_icon\">salon.kr.ua<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hyperhidrosis is a disease or an individual feature of the body that brings a lot of discomfort and worries.
