What is hyperhidrosis and what symptoms characterize it?

Hyperhidrosis refers to excessive sweating of the face and body that goes beyond biological necessity (cooling the skin in hot conditions, during physical exertion, etc.). To say simply, it is heavy sweating even at rest and in comfortable temperatures. Hyperhidrosis usually affects the most "sweaty" areas of the body — the palms, armpits, head, and feet. People experience constant skin moisture, sweat marks on clothing, and unpleasant odours. This leads to emotional discomfort and even social isolation. Hyperhidrosis is not always associated with pathological causes and can be an individual or genetic trait.

What methods of treating hyperhidrosis exist and which one is the most effective?

If hyperhidrosis is caused by an underlying medical condition (for example, thyroid disorders), treating the excessive sweating itself will not help until the root cause is addressed. However, if it is simply a feature of the body, there are several effective treatment options. When antiperspirants fail, botulinum toxin therapy is often recommended — it is one of the simplest and most effective ways to control hyperhidrosis (although it requires maintenance every 6–9 months). Cosmetologists may also offer iontophoresis or laser therapy. In more severe cases, surgical treatment such as sympathectomy or curettage may be considered. The choice of method depends on the severity of the condition and the patient’s expectations regarding the duration of the results. Surgical procedures, of course, can provide a permanent solution.
