What is Hyperdrosis?
The Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by a excessive and abnormal sweatingIt occurs even in situations where the body does not need to regulate its temperature. It can affect different areas of the body, such as the armpits, hands, feet, face and back, and often interferes with the patient's daily life, causing discomfort and affecting their confidence. There are several treatments to control itfrom medical antiperspirants and botulinum toxinto more advanced options such as the sympathectomy in severe cases. For whom are they recommended?
- People with excessive sweating: Those who present intense sweating in the armpits, hands, feet, face or other areas for no apparent reason.
- Patients with primary hyperhidrosis: Those who suffer from excessive sweating of genetic origin, unrelated to diseases.
- People with secondary hyperhidrosis: Patients whose excessive sweating is caused by factors such as hormonal changes, stress, medication or illness.
- Those seeking to improve their quality of life: People who experience social discomfort, skin irritation or difficulty in performing daily activities due to sweating.
- Patients who have not responded to conventional treatments: Those who have not obtained results with clinical antiperspirants or lifestyle changes.
What does the treatment consist of?
The treatment for Hyperhidrosis is mainly aimed at reducing the activity of the sweat glands and improving the patient's quality of life. At MG Clinic we study the severity of the case and the affected area to guarantee the best treatment:
- Medical antiperspirants: They contain aluminum chloride, which temporarily blocks the sweat glands and is ideal for mild cases.
- Botulinum toxin (Botox): It is applied by microinjections in the armpits, palms, soles of the feet or face, temporarily blocking the nerve signal that activates sweating. Its effect lasts between 4 and 6 months.
- Iontophoresis: It is mainly used on the hands and feet with the application of a low intensity electric current in water to reduce the activity of the sweat glands.
- Oral medications: In some cases, anticholinergic drugs are prescribed, which decrease the production of sweat throughout the body, although they may have side effects.
- Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS): In severe cases resistant to other treatments, this minimally invasive surgery is performed to block the nerves responsible for excessive sweating.
Each treatment is tailored to the patient's needs and must be evaluated beforehand to ensure the best results.
