Hyperhidrosis

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that may affect areas such as the underarms, hands or feet. For some people, the condition can interfere with daily activities and quality of life.

If you are concerned about excessive sweating, we recommend booking a consultation with one of our experienced clinicians. During your consultation, we will assess your symptoms, discuss your medical history and determine whether treatment is appropriate for your individual circumstances. We will also explain the available treatment options, along with the potential benefits, risks and expected outcomes, to help you make an informed decision about your care.

What are Sweaty Armpits?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that is beyond what is required for normal temperature regulation. If excessive sweating is affecting your daily activities, an assessment by a suitably qualified practitioner can help determine whether treatment is appropriate and discuss the available management options.

Do I Have Hyperhidrosis?

If excessive perspiration continues despite the use of antiperspirants and appropriate hygiene measures, or if it is affecting your daily activities, it is important to consult a suitably qualified health practitioner for assessment and diagnosis. Following a clinical assessment, your practitioner can discuss the available treatment options and recommend an appropriate management plan based on your individual needs and circumstances.

How is Hyperhidrosis Diagnosed and Treated?

If excessive sweating persists despite the use of antiperspirants or other self-care measures, a clinical assessment by a suitably qualified health practitioner can help determine the cause and whether further treatment is appropriate.

Diagnosis of hyperhidrosis typically involves a review of your medical history, an assessment of your symptoms and, where clinically indicated, additional investigations to help determine the underlying cause. Following your assessment, your practitioner will discuss suitable management options based on your individual needs and circumstances, including the potential benefits, risks and expected outcomes of treatment.

Management options may include:

Topical treatments
Prescription medicines, where appropriate
Surgical management in selected cases
Other treatment options discussed during your consultation, where clinically appropriate

Management Options for Hyperhidrosis

The most appropriate management for hyperhidrosis depends on the severity of your symptoms, your medical history and your individual circumstances. During a comprehensive consultation, your practitioner will assess your condition and discuss the treatment options that may be suitable for you.

Treatment recommendations are individualised and may include a combination of self-care strategies, topical treatments, prescription medicines where clinically appropriate, or referral for other management options. Your practitioner will explain the potential benefits, risks and expected outcomes of any recommended treatment to help you make an informed decision about your care.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

Your consultation will include a discussion of your symptoms, medical history and how excessive sweating affects your daily activities. A clinical assessment will be performed to determine whether treatment is appropriate and to develop an individualised management plan.

If treatment is recommended, your practitioner will explain the procedure, aftercare requirements, potential risks and expected outcomes, and answer any questions you may have before proceeding.

Potential Risks and Aftercare

As with any medical procedure, treatment may involve potential risks and side effects. Your practitioner will discuss these with you during your consultation, along with any aftercare instructions relevant to your individual treatment.

If you experience unexpected symptoms or have concerns following treatment, you should contact your treating practitioner or seek appropriate medical advice.
