What’s the cause of hyperhidrosis?
It’s due to an overproduction from the sweat glands which are normal in size and number. Patients with hyperhidrosis have an increased response to stimuli, in particular to the emotions, due to sympathetic hyperactivity.. Since hyperhidrosis can be familial and can start in childhood, the physiological basis for this condition is likely to be genetically determined. It’s not a psychological condition, as still unfortunately many healthcare professionals suggest to their patients.
