If you are suffering from hyperhidrosis, chances are you are experiencing over sweating even if you are not doing rigorous work or are not exposed to high temperature. Until now, medical professionals even with the help of recent technologies are still unsure on the real cause of this medical condition.

Some suggest that over sweating is due one's genetics. Researchers also stated that the over activity of the thoracic sympathetic Ganglion Chain in the chest cavity is a possible cause.

To analyze over sweating better, let us divide it into two main categories: a.) generalized hyperhidrosis and b.) focal hyperhidrosis.

Generalized Hyperhidrosis

This type of over sweating is observed in all parts of the body usually much concentrated on the face, hands and feet. Majority of sufferers experience thyroid problems and cancer-related symptoms with it.

Focal Hyperhidrosis

The condition concentrates only on some parts of the body (face, armpits, hands, and feet) and is a probable result of genetics.

It is difficult to trace the real cause of excessive sweating of sufferers but it is a common problem of adults around the world. 50 to 60 percent of the cases, according to several medical reports, are caused by genetics. Sadly, genetic treatments are still far from reality.

Coming back to the sympathetic chain, it is evident that this controls the apocrine and eccrine glands that are responsible for body perspiration. The eccrine glands control sweat in the palms and feet (the location where over sweating is observed most of the time).

Some experts argue that the cause of hand over sweating is the excess activity of the thyroid gland while some professionals claim that it is because of anxiety disorders. Both reasons are not sufficient explanations of the condition because palm sweating can also be experienced even if in a relaxed state.

Oftentimes, over sweating is really just a symptom of other medical conditions like menopause, mental illness, obesity, and hyperthyroidism. Doctors will look for these signs first before diagnosing hyperhidrosis.

When you are suffering from over sweating, consulting a medical professional would really help to target the real problem and provide the best solution.
