Home Hyperhidrosis Treatment Testimonials ... Contact When it’s hot outside, everyone sweats a lot. Most people expect to break a sweat when they exercise, but imagine sweating profusely even in the middle of winter when you’re not even exerting yourself. Some people suffer from excessive sweating nearly all the time. Their hands and feet sweat so much that many of these individuals dread socializing and may even have difficulty getting some jobs. Vidal Maldonado was one of those people. He’d lived with excessive sweat no matter what he was doing. The 19-year-olds hands were almost always very cold and extremely wet. Maldonado suffered form a chronic condition known as hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis, or excessively sweaty hands, affects a large number of people. The disease entity is debilitating enough that many adolescents refuse to go out on dates. They have difficulty competing and achieving when they do written tests at school because when they become anxious their hands sweat to such an extent that the seat literally drips off their hands. In addition, their hands are cold and clammy and they are very self-conscious about putting their hands out and shaking hands with anyone or touching anyone. Maldonado knows how debilitating emotionally and socially hyperhidrosis can be. He avoided meeting new people and making new friends because he feared being ridiculed. “It affected my life in many ways,” he said. “I avoided handshakes. I didn’t really like to come into contact with many people, even like just friends, guys or girls, because I knew they’d expect a handshake and I didn’t want to shake their hand because I felt they would ridicule me. It was difficult to even write on paper because the paper would get all wet.”

You know the feeling when you are about to go into the most scary exam of your life? You're sweating all over and frantically wiping your hands on your shirt. Double it. Now imagine that you are suddenly placed in a jet of cold air. The sweat starts to go all cold and trickles down your hands, falling in little drops on to the floor below. Sounds unpleasant? This is life with chronic hyperhidrosis. I was first diagnosed with hyperhidrosis around the age of 14. I think that I might have been diagnosed earlier if my parents had not thought that my excess sweating was a trivial matter. Eventually, I went to my GP and was prescribed an aluminium chloride solution which you apply to the affected part at night and leave on. A practical solution? Try falling asleep while still remembering not to scratch your face or rub your eyes. Then tell me it is still practical. After this failed to work, we moved on to iontophoresis, where dermatologists persuade you to place the affected part (usually a hand or foot) on a towel covered in sodium chloride solution and another part, usually the corresponding body part, on an opposite towel. They then turn on a machine and blast several volts through you for at least quarter of an hour, either side. This worked at first and I bought a set of my own, but it is not without its impracticalities. Firstly, it is very sore and you have to have someone on hand every night to turn it on, then come back 15 minutes later to turn it off, then repeat the process, allowing for the times it is too sore and you have to yell out of the kitchen window for someone to come and switch it off for you. My hyperhidrosis was mainly confined to the hands, although there was a bit of axillary and plantar as well but shoes and dark clothing could hide them.

About Medic8 EXCESSIVE SWEATING (HYPERHIDROSIS) - a patient's guide Dr Murray MacCormick - General Surgeon What is hyperhidrosis? Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which the body sweats excessively and inappropriately. Usually this sweating happens for little or no reason and can be so profuse as to dominate the sufferer's life because of the amount of wetness produced. It is not the same as the excessive sweating which occurs in association with medical conditions such thyrotoxicosis or carcinoid syndrome, and it is not the same as the hot flushes which occur during a woman's menopause. Classically the person with hyperhidrosis will tell of lifelong difficulty handling paper at work or school, problems using keyboards, difficulties holding on to sports equipment, and terrible embarrassment in social contacts. Where the feet are affected there is inability to wear loose sandals like thongs and slipping on tiled or polished floors is a daily hazard. Other sufferers have huge problems with wetting their clothes and bedding due to nocturnal sweating.

Excessive sweating of the axillae, hands and feet or facial blushing is due to over activity of the sympathetic nerves. This problem, although not life threatening, can be socially traumatic. The underlying etiology of this problem is poorly understood. The person who experiences these symptoms is often embarrassed and shies away from social interaction where this problem might be discovered. Most patients ha ve tried one or many treatments including creams, electric water baths, botox injections, and oral medication with minimal long term improvement of their symptoms. Inpatient Facilities Hospital Univ. of Pennsylvania Requesting an Inpatient Consultation Marshall Shrager Office Visit Locations 4 Silverstein Pavilion (HUP) Making an Office Visit Appointment Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) divides the sympathetic chain to the hands and axillae. As a result, these patients no longer sweat in their axillae or hands. The procedure is preformed under general anesthesia and in an out-patient setting. The majority of patients are extremely satisfied with this procedure. However, a small fraction of patients may suffer from compensatory sweating following this procedure.

What is hyperhidrosis? Hands sweat as a normal process of the body function to cool and lubricate the skin. Clammy hands are the result of excessive sweating. It is a very common condition and affects every 1 in 200 persons. The medical term for clammy hands is hyperhidrosis. It is an embarrassing condition for the sufferer as h/she is aware of how nervous she appears to be with clammy hands. Clammy hands are caused by overactive nerves that send signals to the sweat glands in the skin in the sympathetic nervous system. Clammy hands are an inherited condition. It is a common belief that clammy hands arise from nervousness, fear, anxiety, discomfort or low self-confidence. Hyperhidrosis sufferers lose their external poise and confidence as they struggle to hide their clammy hands. bodyOffer(3916) Sweaty hands can be overcome by many methods. Creams or powders containing aluminum chloride can be used to reduce the sweat on palms and feet. These are available on prescription basis. Your family doctor can issue you advice and a prescription for this. The disadvantage of this method is that they cause skin irritation with prolonged use. Other medications work in different ways. The aim is to prevent the neuron transmitter acetylcholine form triggering the sweat glands at the roots of the sympathetic nerves. This reduces the quantity of sweat produced. The disadvantage is that it produces a side effect. Users will generally experience dryness in the mouth. A new, revolutionary method is expensive and has a limited effectiveness. Sweaty palms are injected with a dilute form of botulism toxin. This deactivates the sweat glands in the skin. This is effective for a period of 6 to 12 months. This treatment is costly.

Vascular Surgery Cervical or lumbar sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis Vascular Surgery patient consent forms What is hyperhidrosis and what causes it? Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. Why some people sweat more than others is unknown, although some medical conditions such as an overactive thyroid gland can be the cause. Commonly, the most affected areas are the hands, armpits and feet. How can excessive sweating be treated? Excessive sweating can be treated by: Simple treatments, such as roll-on antiperspirants (eg driclor); A type of electrolysis (called iontophoresis); Medication, eg beta blockers or probanthine; Injection of botulinum toxin; Surgery (sympathectomy). What is sympathectomy? Simple or medical treatments of excessive sweating might not control the symptoms, or they might induce intolerable side effects. In these cases, sympathectomy can be useful, especially for sweaty hands. Sweating of the armpits alone might respond better to injection with botulinum toxin, or by excision (removal) of skin. Sympathectomy is a surgical technique that aims to destroy part of the nerve supply to the sweat glands in the skin. These are supplied by specialised types of nerve called the sympathetic nervous system, which controls sweating. [It is nothing to do with being 'sympathetic'].

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) An estimated 1% of the population suffers from palmar hyperhidrosis. This condition, characterized by excessive sweating of the palms, is also frequently associated with excessive perspiration involving the hands, face, and soles of the feet, as well as the armpits, chest or back. Dr. Jeffrey Hagen , Assistant Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery, notes that "as a consequence of this disorder patients often suffer from embarrassment, social isolation, or difficulty at work." The exact cause of this disorder is not known, but the symptoms are the result of over-activity of the sympathetic nervous system , which normally controls such bodily responses as blushing, sweating, and heat regulation. Treatment options for hyperhidrosis include a variety of lotions, antiperspirants, medications and biofeedback techniques. In some patients, however, these remedies fail. "Surgical procedures in which the sympathetic nerves are divided have been performed for many years" explains Dr. Steve DeMeester
