Injectables for Hyperhidrosis

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

8 Reasons to See Your Doctor Before Getting Injectables for Hyperhidrosis

Botox for SweatingHyperhidrosis is an uncomfortable and embarrassing condition. While most people who suffer from hyperhidrosis have a version of the condition known as ‘idiopathic’ (unknown cause), it is not always safe to assume that you are simply sweatier than society believes is acceptable, and to go straight to have sweating treatments like onjectables for hyperhidrosis. There are several serious conditions that can also cause hyperhidrosis, and you should be tested for these before simply masking a potentially dangerous problem with injectables for hyperhidrosis. Today we check out a comprehensive list of those conditions.

1. Hyperthyroidism
In this condition, your thyroid gland releases too much of its metabolic hormone, causing increased energy usage which produces heat, and triggers sweating. There are usually a range of other symptoms associated with hyperthyroidism, and it is easily controlled with medication.
2. Hyperpituitarism
The pituitary gland also produces hormones that control metabolism, and excessive production can again cause hyperhidrosis. This condition should be controlled with medication, as it can have other effects in the body.
3. Excessive production of catecholamines
Catecholamines are the precursors to adrenaline, and are involved in the regulation of the fight-or-flight response … which as we know, is associated with sweating! This excessive production might have a medical cause, or it might be an emotional response. If it is an emotional response, it is appropriate to have sweating treatment or injectables for hyperhidrosis, while you work through the emotional issues.
4. Local Nerve Reflexes
Lesions such as ulcers on your veins can cause a local hyperhidrosis response. If your sweating is very localised (for example, it is limited to a 50-cent piece sized patch on your leg, or to half of one underarm only), this may be a cause.
5. Infections
Infections that are present systemically (across many sites in your body) can cause hyperhidrosis, as your body expends energy trying to fight the little critters and produces heat in the process. You would almost invariably have other symptoms with this type of hyperhidrosis, and clearing the infection will stop the excessive sweating – no injectables needed.
6. Diabetes
The disturbed metabolism associated with diabetes can cause excessive sweating.
7. Spinal Cord Tumours
The sweating response can be caused by tumours – the uncontrolled growths of cells can press on nerve endings and cause them to send unnecessary signals to the brain.
8. Brain Tumours and other Neurological Problems
The same is true of tumours within the brain, and of other conditions in the brain which affect your lower brain centres involved in temperature regulation, etc.
If you do suffer from hyperhidrosis, however, don’t assume the worst! The vast majority of cases of hyperhidrosis involve emotional triggers or are purely idiopathic. In some cases, the hyperhidrosis itself is a self-fulfilling prophecy – people sweat, then become nervous about their sweating, which causes them to sweat more. Your doctor will ask you a few basic questions to rule out these conditions, or may order some simple blood tests … and then you’re on your way to a dry, free, sweat-less future.
