Dealing with Hyperhidrosis: Treatment, Causes
Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

Does hyperhidrosis stem primarily from excessive thyroid gland activity, and if I address any hormone imbalances, could it potentially lead to a cure?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Hyperhidrosis is not curable, but various treatments can help manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. It may stem from overactive eccrine sweat glands triggered by faulty nerve signals. While there's no cause for alarm, a thorough medical history is essential.

Thanks
