Condition: Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis can have a significant impact on one’s quality of life. While sweating is a normal bodily function that helps regulate body temperature, those with hyperhidrosis experience sweat when it is not necessary. This can lead to embarrassment, difficulty with social interactions, and a decrease in self-confidence.
Here at Este Medical Group, we offer clinically proven and FDA-approved treatment for hyperhidrosis, for you to restore confidence and start feeling comfortable in your own skin.
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for regulating body temperature. It affects around 3% of the world population, and it can affect any part of the body, but the most common areas are the palms, feet, underarms, and face.
What Causes Hyperhidrosis?
The exact hyperhidrosis causes are not yet fully understood, but the condition is believed to be related to overactivity of the sweat glands.
There are two types of hyperhidrosis:
Primary Hyperhidrosis:
Primary hyperhidrosis is believed to be caused by an inherited genetic trait and often begins in childhood or adolescence. It usually affects specific areas of the body such as the underarms, hands, and feet.
Secondary hyperhidrosis:
Secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by an underlying medical condition, such as menopause, diabetes, thyroid issues, anxiety disorders, or certain medications.
