Introduction

Hyperhidrosis is generally a condition of heavy sweating without causing any serious illness; it just causes embarrassment and anxiety in front of others. Mainly in this condition the sweat glands become overactive and cause excessive perspiration. Sweating is a normal phenomenon as it removes excessive heat from the body and provides a cooling effect to the body but in case of hyperhidrosis a person sweats too much. As per ayurveda it is correlated to swedavaha sroto dushti. Further lets discuss the types, causes and symptoms of hyperhidrosis.

Types of Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is of two types that is primary focal hyperhidrosis and secondary hyperhidrosis. Let’s see what is the difference between both types of hyperhidrosis:

1. Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis

This condition commonly occurs at the childhood or adolescent age. The primary type is not associated with any other medical condition. If anyone is having this type of hyperhidrosis then he or she will face excessive sweating in some of the areas of the body such as in underarms, forehead, feet, hands, front trunk, back of trunk and other parts of body.

2. Secondary hyperhidrosis

In secondary hyperhidrosis people felt excessive sweating in all the body parts and the reason behind it is any medical condition.

Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis

The main symptom of hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating but there are some other symptoms too which we are going to explain further:

• Visible Sweating: As we discussed earlier sweating is the main symptom of this condition, the patient will see soaked cloth with excessive sweating.
• Skin Peeling: With excessive sweating skin remains wet for a long time that may lead to soft and white which further leads to peeling off after deterioration. 
• Interference with Daily Activities: It causes diffficu;lty in performing regular day working tasks such as walking, holding something, turning of door knob, and even destroys paper while writing something. 
• Leads to Skin Infections: Sweating heavily may lead to skin infections such as fungal skin infections, athlete’s foot and jock itch are common skin infections. 

Causes Of Hyperhidrosis

As we studied earlier that hyperhidrosis is of two types and both types are having different causes, that we will discuss further:

• In Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis: In this case sweat glands become more activated by the signalling of nerves, triggered by high temperature and any physical activity. In case of nervousness or stress the condition may worsen and have no medical condition associated with it.
• In Secondary Hyperhidrosis: In secondary hyperhidrosis as we read earlier the main cause is any medical condition, the medical conditions included are menopause, diabetes, low blood sugar, heart attack, infections, nervous disorders.

Diagnosis of Hyperhidrosis

For diagnostic purposes modern science considers this condition to be diagnosed by a skin doctor. The dermatologist carries out physical examination and diagnoses the sweating more closely. Sometimes physical examination may lead to a confirmed diagnosis and sometimes medical testing is needed.

Ayurvedic View Of Hyperhidrosis

As per ayurveda hyperhidrosis is correlated to a condition of swedadhikya, sweda means sweat and adhikya refers to excessive. Mainly the persons with pitta prakriti suffer from this condition most probably and those who are having any kind of pittaj disorder then they are also at a risk of swedadhikya. In this condition swedavaha sroto dushti is caused which leads to excessive sweating, further we will discuss with the nidaan (causes) and lakshan (symptoms) of swedavaha sroto dushti.

NIDAAN OF SWEDAVAHA SROTO DUSHTI (CAUSES)

• Vyayam (exercise) 
• Ati aatap sevan (excessive sun exposure)
• Sheeta-ushna diet intake (intake of cold and hot potency food frequently)
