Understanding Hyperhidrosis: Why You Sweat More Than You Should

Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sweat glands produce more sweat than the body needs to regulate temperature. It’s not just inconvenient—it can be emotionally and socially distressing.

Types of Hyperhidrosis:

  • Primary hyperhidrosis: The most common form. It typically starts in childhood or adolescence and affects specific areas like hands (palmar), feet (plantar), or underarms (axillary). It’s not caused by any other medical condition.
  • Secondary hyperhidrosis: Caused by an underlying health issue such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, or medication side effects. It often impacts larger areas and may occur during sleep.

Eccrine glands, small sweat-producing structures found throughout the skin, produce sweat. Hyperhidrosis is like having a thermostat that won’t turn off.

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to live with it.
