How much does hyperhidrosis affect and harm people?

The cause of hyperhidrosis may be due to the appearance of symptoms of functional disorders, such as endocrine disorders, but it is not excluded that there is thyroid disease, hyperhidrosis is the body has symptoms of abnormal sweating secretion, hyperhidrosis is in the soles of the feet or face, and some may be in the armpits, and the condition is more serious to do a targeted examination.

Hyperhidrosis may cause a decrease in immune function, as well as some manifestations of allergies to **. Hyperhidrosis refers to the patient's increased sweating, the main complication of this disease is excessive sweating, which leads to whitening, and makes **more susceptible to viral infections, causing folliculitis, and eczema.

The occurrence of hyperhidrosis is mainly caused by excessive secretion of sweat glands, it is not only manifested as excessive sweating, hyperhidrosis will also cause psychological and physical harm to patients, so patients with hyperhidrosis should pay attention.

Dangers of hyperhidrosis:

1. Foot sweating often makes socks and insoles soaked, and the soles of the feet will slip when you walk consciously;

2. There may also be excessive sweat maceration**, which makes **whitish, erosion between toes, often leading to fungus and bacterial breeding, causing foot odor, athlete's foot, etc.;

3. Sweating in the armpits can be seen that sweat drips down from under the armpits, and clothes are often soaked with sweat. When there is a bacterial invasion and infection, the armpit can not only emit an unpleasant odor (i.e., armpit odor), but also be complicated by **inflammation.

4. Hyperhidrosis can also be secondary to some psychiatric and neurological diseases, metabolic diseases, endocrine disorders, tumors, drugs, etc., which is called secondary hyperhidrosis;

5. The age of onset is mostly from childhood, to aggravation in adolescence and accompanied by life, when the disease is serious, it will not only affect the patient's work, life and study, but even cause the patient to have psychological disorders and dare not participate in normal social interaction.

Ways to prevent hyperhidrosis:

1. Drink a lot of water in daily life to avoid water loss. Because people with hyperhidrosis sweat profusely, they also need to wear cotton clothing to help them absorb sweat more easily.

2. Take a bath every day, keep it clean, and try to relax if sweating is related to tension. No matter what the disease is, as long as you maintain a good mood, it is conducive to the disease.

Hyperhidrosis can lead to local maceration, whitishness, cold hands and feet, cyanosis, and special odors caused by excessive sweating, which all affect life. It can be taken internally, externally, and surgically**.

Hyperhidrosis is a phenomenon caused by an abnormally high amount of local or general** sweating. True generalized hyperhidrosis is rare, and even if it is caused by a systemic disorder, it usually occurs locally.

Hyperhidrosis can occur in endocrine disorders and hormonal disorders such as hyperthyroidism, hyperpituitaryism, pregnancy, diabetes, neurological disorders, and some genetic disorders, as well as emotional stress. Hyperhidrosis can cause a decline in the body's immune and digestive functions. For children, this can lead to slow growth and development of children, as well as adverse consequences for children's psychological development.

Hyperhidrosis refers to an abnormal increase in local or systemic sweating, and some trace elements in the human body will flow out with sweat, causing a series of adverse consequences, which can currently be surgically surged.

Severe hyperhidrosis can cause concern about the harm to the body caused by long-term heavy sweating, but there is a lack of in-depth understanding of this in current medical research. To this end, I briefly provide the results of a few existing studies for information, but they should not be used as a reference for diagnosis and treatment.

Primary hyperhidrosis is uncontrolled sweating for no apparent reason, usually on the palms, soles of the feet, and armpits. We don't usually think of hyperhidrosis as a physical condition, which means that it is "not" harmful to physical health. But recent studies in South Korea offer a different understanding.

In 2021, a case-control study from South Korea compared the characteristics of hyperhidrosis and a normal control population, with data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey of Korea. The results showed that the waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and metabolic syndrome indexes of the hyperhidrosis population were significantly higher than those of the normal control population, and the glomerular filtration rate was significantly lower than that of the normal control. And these are all risk factors for cardiovascular events.

Does that mean sympathectomy (ETS) can reduce cardiovascular events in people with excessive sweating?

Indeed, comparisons have been made before.

In 2019, another Korean study of 18,613 patients with hyperhidrosis and 29,267,138 control individuals with a median follow-up of one year found that the risk of cardiovascular events was higher in people with hyperhidrosis who did not do ETS than in the control population, but there was no difference in the risk of cardiovascular time in those who went through ETS with hyperhidrosis compared with normal controls. Therefore, it is suggested that the reduction of sympathetic activity after ETS is beneficial to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in people with hyperhidrosis.

In 2017, a study in Taiwan analyzed data from the National Health Insurance Database for the period 2000-2010 and found that patients with hyperhidrosis who underwent ETS had a lower rate of major cardiovascular events ( than those without ETS (. Conclusions: Patients with hyperhidrosis who received ETS showed a reduced risk of cardiovascular events during long-term follow-up.

In fact, as early as 2002, a Japanese study provided some evidence to support the above conclusions.

Researchers at Japan's National Kanazawa Hospital (translation not necessarily accurate) studied the effects of ETS on hemodynamic and neurohumoral responses during exercise. They found that ETS reduced myocardial oxygen demand and plasma norepinephrine levels at rest and during exercise without significantly reducing cardiac function.

In summary, these studies suggest that a series of neurohumoral responses caused by the over-activated sympathetic nervous system in people with hyperhidrosis may lead to a higher risk of cardiovascular events than normal individuals. ETS reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease in people with hyperhidrosis (hyperhidrosis).

But the following points must be clarified:

1.This is only part of the research, and the views in it need to be further confirmed, which are far from mature conclusions and have limited reference value.

2.This should never be used as a basis for choosing an ETS procedure;

3.The above is only part of the research and is not the whole evidence.

No, as long as you hydrate in time, especially light salt water, it will not have any effect, and you may feel thirsty at times.

Western medicine does not have a good treatment for chronic diseases, especially endocrine problems, such as excessive sweating, tiredness, irritability, etc.

It is recommended to see Chinese medicine, but it should be reminded that the gap between the level of Chinese medicine is too large, the good and the bad are uneven, so you should find a few more and compare them yourself.
