Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Sweating is a part of everyday life, however, some of our patients suffer from ‘excessive sweating’ (hyperhidrosis) – a chronic condition affecting over 1.5 million people in the UK.
Our body is designed to sweat in order to help us regulate our core temperature, especially during periods of excessive heat, exercise and even during illness.
However, while sweat is produced to regulate body temperature, hyperhidrosis sufferers produce an amount of sweat that far exceeds that needed for temperature regulation.
This can be limited to a specific area or affect the entire body, which is usually caused by an underlying health condition such as an overactive thyroid gland.

Some patients may experience symptoms during times of high stress, emotion or exercise but it can also occur spontaneously.
