Hyperhidrosis Treatment at Meral Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey 🌟
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that is not related to physical activity or temperature. It can occur in various areas of the body, including the hands, feet, armpits, and face, significantly impacting quality of life. At Meral Clinic in Istanbul, we offer advanced treatments for hyperhidrosis to help you manage this condition and restore comfort and confidence. 💧✨
What is Hyperhidrosis? 🤔
Hyperhidrosis involves the overproduction of sweat by the sweat glands, leading to persistent sweating, even when the body does not require cooling. There are two types of hyperhidrosis:
- Primary Hyperhidrosis: Typically localized to specific areas such as the underarms, palms, feet, or face, without any underlying medical condition. It is often genetic. 🌿
- Secondary Hyperhidrosis: Caused by other factors, such as medications, hormonal changes, or medical conditions, and usually affects larger areas of the body. 🌐
Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis 🩺
The primary symptom of hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating that occurs even in cool environments or while at rest. Common symptoms include:
- Frequent sweating in the palms, underarms, feet, or face 💧
- Clothing stains or dampness 👕
- Social embarrassment or anxiety related to the appearance of sweat 🌈
- Discomfort or skin irritation from excessive moisture 🌿
