| Kamis, 20 Oktober 2011 | 0 comments

The body cools itself by sweating. In most cases sweating is normal and healthy. However, some people may experience hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating is a frequent and even constant.

Hyperhidrosis is the secretion (expenses) of sweat in amounts greater than needed to cool the body. Usually there is excess sweat on palms, soles and underarms. Anxiety, embarrassment and disruption of daily activities can be caused by hyperhidrosis.
Cause

The cause of hyperhidrosis is the body's temperature regulation system and sweat glands. There are two types of sweat glands in the skin, namely apocrine glands and Eccrine glands. Eccrine glands, found in most of the body and open directly to the skin surface. Apocrine glands develop in areas that are filled with hair follicles, such as the groin, armpits and scalp.

The autonomic nervous system stimulates these glands to secrete fluid onto the surface of the skin when the body temperature rises, which serves to cool the body. Most of that is contained in sweat is water and salt (sodium chloride).

1. Anticholinergic drugs
Someone may be prescribed anticholinergic drugs such as Glycopyrrolate in the case of hyperhidrosis in general. Usually, after using the drug for about two weeks, signs and symptoms improve.

3. Botulinum toxin

4. Iontophoresis
Battery-powered tools will be used in this procedure when a patient's body immersed in water, then given a low level electric current to the hands, feet, or armpits. While the sweat glands can be blocked in this procedure. Iontophoresis is usually safe and can be done at home.

5. Surgery
Operations can be an option in some rare cases. Removing the sweat glands in the armpit can help in cases of excessive sweating that only occurs in the area. Cutting the nerves that carry messages from the sympathetic nerves to the sweat glands are different procedures. This operation can be performed using a procedure known as endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy.
