Neurological disorder

What is the Hyperhidrosis ?

La hiperhidrosis primaria es un trastorno caracterizado por una sudoración excesiva e idiopática que se presenta en un área focal específica del cuerpo. Autonomic nervous system neurological disorder. Contrary to what many people think, it is not a dermatological problem.

This occurs because the sympathetic nerve sends erroneous signals to the sweat glands, causing them to produce sweat without a thermal need. In other words, the body sweats even though there is no stimulus of heat or exercise.

Important to know

Unlike normal sweating, hyperhidrosis is not dependent on heat or exercise. It appears even at rest or with mild stress, significantly affecting quality of life.

Wrong signal

The sympathetic nerve sends incorrect stimuli without real need

Glandular activation

The sweat glands are activated without thermal stimulus

Excessive sweating

Constant and uncontrollable sweating

Impact on life

Significant social, work-related, and emotional impact
