Excessive sweating — medically known as “hyperhidrosis” — is the body’s natural cooling mechanism, but in some people it occurs more than normal. The main triggers include hot weather, physical activity, and stress. Strong emotions like anxiety or fear can also increase sweat production.
From a medical perspective, excessive sweating can be a symptom of underlying health issues such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, obesity, or hormonal changes. In some cases, sweat glands are overly active due to the nervous system’s influence, causing sweating even at rest.
Treatment for hyperhidrosis depends on its underlying cause. In mild cases, maintaining proper hygiene, avoiding synthetic clothing, and using special antiperspirants can help. In more severe cases, doctors may recommend medications, physiotherapy, or surgery. The key is to identify the root cause and treat it accordingly.
