Know More About Sweaty Palms (Palmar Hyperhidrosis)
As mentioned earlier that excessive sweating can be experienced by anyone since the age of children or adolescents, the location of the incidence of these complaints also vary and not always the same. In the world of health itself, the term hyperhidrosis is categorized into 3 types of abnormalities that have a basis of different causes with each other. For more details you can read more collection of information we have written below.
Incidence of Hyperhidrosis
The incidence or incidence of palmar hyperhidrosis (sweaty palms), plantar hyperhidrosis (sweaty foot) and axilla hyperhidrosis (sweaty armpit) in our country are hard to find due to poor case reporting methods. In the United States the incidence of hyperhidrosis cases in adolescence and young adulthood was reported at 0.6-1%, while data from around the world showed that cases of palmoplantar hyperhidrosis (palms and sweaty palms) occur 20 times more frequently in Japanese than with other ethnicities although no explanation of this data has been provided. There is no difference in risk of hyperhidrosis disorder in both male and female sex.
Category of Underlying Diseases and Causes
Hyperhidrosis diseases are divided according to the most common sites of palmar hyperhidrosis (sweaty palms), plantar hyperhidrosis (sweaty foot) and axilla hyperhidrosis (sweaty armpit) are also divided into other categories when viewed from the underlying cause. These three categories include emotionally induced hyperhidrosis, localized hyperhidrosis and generalized hyperhidrosis. The three types of hyperhidrosis that occur this has its own trademarks even the originator is different.
As in the case of emotionally induced hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating due to psychological problems. Psychic problems are meant in this case must be a severe psychological problem for the sufferer and generate a sense of nervousness, fear, emotion, anger and so forth. The case of excessive sweating caused by this psychic problem is a form that is commonly found to cause axillary complaints, palms and sweaty palms. Psychic problems can indeed affect the human nervous system that is the autonomic nervous system (human innervation for the unconscious) especially in the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system will affect not only the sweat glands to sweat in the palms of the hands, feet and underarms but also affect the heart rate and blood pressure of a person.
Next is generalized hyperhidrosis where excessive sweating is not only felt in certain parts of the body but in the whole body of the sufferer. The condition of generalized hyperhidrosis can be caused directly by the autonomic nervous system disorder of the sympathetic nerves or is the effect of other disorders such as metabolic disorders (diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism and hypoglycemia), the onset of malignancy or cancer in the body, infectious diseases such as malaria also the effects of drug use indirectly affect the central body temperature regulation in the brain and ultimately lead to excessive sweating.
Drugs in question such as propanolol (heart medicine), depression medication, pilocarpin (one eye drops). For that if suddenly you feel your palms become more sweaty and you are in therapy with certain drugs, try to discuss with the doctor who gave the treatment whether the symptoms of excessive sweating infeel the effects of drugs or not. In addition, generalized hyperhidrosis conditions can also be caused by prolonged use of alcohol and lung disease or tuberculosis (overnight excessive sweating). The last is localized hyperhidrosis that arises only in certain parts of the body of the sufferer and is the most rare form encountered. This disorder often arises in the forearm and forehead sufferers who seem healthy and without a clear trigger. These localized hyperhidrosis abnormalities can also occur only on one side of the body such as excessive sweating examples that only arise on the forehead, cheeks, nose and right hand surface whereas the left side of the body does not sweat at all.Localized hyperhidrosis is often associated with autonomic nervous disorders especially the nerves sympathetic to certain parts of the body of the sufferer. In addition, localized abnormalities such as abnormalities of excessive sweat gland distribution in certain places to arise tumors in the sweat glands and blood vessels in the vicinity can also cause excessive sweating only on certain parts of one's body.Terapi HyperhidrosisSelanjutnya we will discuss how hyperhidrosis conditions both palmar hyperhidrosis (sweaty palms) and other types of hyperhidrosis disorders treated. Treatment of hyperhidrosis conditions is a challenge in the world of health, where external treatment as well as systemic treatment (drugs consumed and entered into the body) is used to reduce this state of excessive sweating. For external treatment both underarms, sweaty feet and sweaty palms are often given Glutaraldehyde (trade name: Cidex), Pottasium permanganate, Aluminum chloride 20% (trade name: Drysol) and many more.Only these external drugs have limitations because it can irritate the skin for sensitive and less effective people. Its use is simply smeared on the palm of the hand at night and removed back the next day. In addition to external drugs, hyperhidrosis therapy may use other drugs such as botulinum type A toxin injection (trade name: Botox). In addition to the two methods of therapy mentioned above, surgery to reduce sympathetic neurological activity of the sufferer can also be taken into account. Such are some information we can share with readers about palmar hyperhidrosis (sweaty palms) and some other types of hyperhidrosis conditions. If you have relatives or even experience problems like this, then it never hurts to check yourself to the doctor to find out what problems cause you to experience excessive sweating.
