The Kind of Sweat that Makes Your Clothes Wet!

7/9/2018

 
Excess sweat can be result of an underlying health condition
Excessive Sweating Ruins a Person’s Quality of Life
Sweating can lead to loss of quality of lifeSweaty Palms Forbade Even a Handshake
Are you the type of person who avoids handshakes during meetings, dreads a sleepover party with friends during summer or hesitates to show off your pedicured legs wearing flip-flops due to sweating? That’s common and there’s nothing to worry about much. Sweating is one way of cooling the body and prevent it from overheating. People generally sweat on a hot day or while exercising or even when they are nervous sometimes. The same reaction when it happens when your body does not need to cool down can cause excessive sweating. Excessive sweating can happen without any reason, as a side effect of medication or because of another condition that you might have. Medically termed as hyperhidrosis, this is a condition where the body sweats when there is no need of cooling down. This is not a dangerous or life-threatening condition but can cause embarrassment, discomfort and affect the individual psychologically.
​
Hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating generally happens in the hands, feet, armpits and groin due to excessive sweat glands present. When these glands are localized it is called focal hyperhidrosis (such as sweating on the palms and soles) and excessive sweating that happens throughout the body is called as generalized hyperhidrosis.
​
The condition might be present since birth or develop later in life. The most common time during which hyperhidrosis starts to happen is adolescence. While the condition is treatable, many individuals fail to seek solutions out of embarrassment or due to the lack of knowledge about effective treatments.

Symptoms
Bouts of excessive sweating occur at least once a week accompanied by symptoms such as:
  • Wet palms of the hand, wet soles of the feet or both together
  • Frequent sweating
  • Clothes are drenched with sweat and soaking with water

Individuals who suffer from this condition also suffer from:
  • Painful and irritating skin problems such as bacterial and fungal infections
  • Choose employment opportunities in companies where there is no requirement for physical contact or human interaction
  • Self-consciousness
  • Invest more time in dealing with the sweat such as repeatedly wiping off sweat from body parts, changing clothes every few hours, placing napkins or pads under the arms, washing those sweaty clothes or wearing bulky, dark-colored clothes
  • Worry way too much about their body odor than other people around them
  • Avoid social interaction and prefer loneliness which can lead to depression too
  • Constantly in a state of worry about stained clothes

For reasons not yet deciphered by researchers, excessive sweating during sleep does not exist in people with primary hyperhidrosis (the type that is not linked to any underlying medical condition).

Causes
While causes of primary hyperhidrosis was believed to be anxiety, stress or nervousness until now, recent research proves that it is the other way round-excessive sweating can cause mental and emotional trauma, anxiety and stress in these individuals. Some studies do indicate the presence of a gene that might be responsible for the condition making it likelier to be inherited. Also, most of the patients with primary hyperhidrosis have a sibling or parent with the condition. Certain nerves in the body trigger sweating and it is possible that when these nerves overreact, it causes excessive sweating.

Causes of secondary hyperhidrosis are clearly defined and include spinal cord injury, gout, anxiety, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, pregnancy, respiratory failure, shingles, hyperthyroidism, infections such as HIV, malaria and TB, substance abuse and certain medications. Get a detailed explanation of each of these conditions and analyze their effect on your body from the website www.firsteatright.com.

Irrespective of whether you live in a hot or cold climate, you can be prone to hyperhidrosis.

Treatment
Before starting the patient on any treatment, it is necessary to diagnose the problem accurately. The physician initially does a physical examination of the areas that sweat profusely and asks specific questions that helps the doctor understand why the patient is having the condition. Sometimes, the physician physically checks the patient by coating their skin with a powder that changes color (purple) when the person starts sweating.
​
Treatment depends on the type of hyperhidrosis and the part of the body that sweats excessively. The physician might recommend that the patient meets a dermatologist for getting treated. The dermatologist suggests medications to reduce sweat. Botox treatment might also be suggested which reduces sweating for at least 4-6 months and this can be repeated. When none of the treatments work, the surgeon might suggest surgery as the final remedy. The sweat glands are permanently removed or stop the nerve signals from sending message to the sweat glands to secrete sweat (sympathectomy). Any surgery carries a certain dose of risk and side effects. Meeting a dermatologist can help you seek effective treatments and control excess sweating which improve quality of life.
​
Certain modifications in lifestyle may improve symptoms:
  1. Use antiperspirants instead of deodorants. Deodorants focus on masking sweat and making you smell pleasant whereas an antiperspirant works towards preventing sweating. There are certain claims that antiperspirants can cause cancer, but majority of individuals don’t mind using it as there is no solid evidence supporting the cancer claim.
  2. Wear armpit shields/pads to protect your garments from underarm perspiration
  3. Avoid synthetic material and choose natural products made of leather to minimize sweating of your feet. Likewise, clothing made of certain materials such as nylon may worsen symptoms and it is better to wear loose-fitting clothes
  4. Wear socks that absorb moisture and if possible, try to change your socks twice a day
  5. Limit intake of spicy food and alcohol
