What Causes Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating is embarrassing as it can occur anywhere on the body but mainly in areas designed to sweat such as the underarms, armpits, groin, hands and feet.

People who have normal diets and who are not overweight are just as likely to suffer with over sweating as those who are eat unhealthily and are overweight. Unfortunately our lifestyle does not seem to have much influence over how we sweat.

We often sweat more when stressed or anxious and typically when we dont want to. This involuntary mechanism is a built in to controlour normal temperature or act as our thermostat. The problem is in some people this has a mind of its own and will over sweat for no necessary reason.

As there is no real true simply way of measuring how much we sweat  the diagnosis of excessive or severe sweating is made upon how much it affects our confidence and daily lives.

Thankfully there are now treatments for excessive sweating that not only work well but offer some relief for what can be a real problem.
