What department should I visit for hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine is believed to have many causes, such as disharmony of the body's defensive and nutritive Qi, deficiency of both Qi and blood, damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder, and excessive fire due to yin deficiency. If hyperhidrosis occurs, it is recommended to visit a hospital and consult with a doctor specialized in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The diagnosis should be made through the four diagnostic methods: inspection, listening and smelling, inquiry, and pulse-taking. This will allow the doctor to discern the underlying cause and select appropriate medications for adjustment over a period. Additionally, regular participation in physical exercises can help improve physical fitness and alleviate the symptoms of hyperhidrosis.

What is the condition of having a fever and sweating excessively?

Typically, fever and excessive sweating in the body often result from the presence of some infectious factors, commonly involving respiratory infections or post-surgical infections. It is also possible for some immune system disorders to cause these symptoms. Therefore, patients usually experience fever and excessive sweating in such cases. Once the cause is identified and appropriate symptomatic treatment is provided, the symptoms of fever and excessive sweating will improve when the inflammatory condition is controlled. Additionally, many non-infectious factors can cause fever, especially in women during their menstrual period or after intense exercise, which can lead to an increase in the body's heat production, resulting in feelings of heat and profuse sweating.

What causes hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis refers to abnormal excessive sweating either locally or over the entire skin surface that occurs under normal living conditions or circumstances. In Western medicine, hyperhidrosis is primarily attributed to psychological factors, hemiplegia, concussion, and other causes of autonomic nervous damage or dysfunction, as well as some endocrine disorders, such as hyperthyroidism and diabetes. Sometimes, it can also be a symptom accompanying other diseases. The occurrence of hyperhidrosis is linked to an increase in sympathetic nerve impulses that enhance the excitement of sweat glands, leading to excessive sweating. It can also be due to increased nervous tension in the sweat glands, which intensifies the sweating response. Furthermore, excessive sweating can occur with the extensive use of corticosteroids, and it can be categorized into localized sweating and generalized sweating. According to traditional Chinese medicine, there are two types of excessive sweating: spontaneous sweating and night sweating. Spontaneous sweating entails sweating during the day without much physical activity, which worsens with exercise and is associated with qi deficiency. Night sweating occurs during the night and is accompanied by symptoms such as warmth in the palms and soles and irritability, indicating yin deficiency.

Excessive sweating and susceptibility to colds are mostly due to what?

Excessive sweating and susceptibility to colds are mostly due to lung qi deficiency, which means the lung qi is damaged and insufficient. Why does lung qi deficiency lead to excessive sweating and susceptibility to colds? It is because when lung qi is damaged, the external defense becomes weak. Here we need to mention something called "wei qi." In clinical terms, "wei qi" refers to the body's resistance to diseases, especially external diseases. When this resistance declines, the skin's pores loosen, leading to sweat leaking out, resulting in spontaneous sweating. Under the condition of excessive spontaneous sweating, if the patient does not take proper care, they are more likely to catch a cold. Therefore, excessive sweating and susceptibility to colds are generally caused by lung qi deficiency.

How is hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet treated?

The patient suffers from palmar-plantar hyperhidrosis, which can be treated using antiperspirants or botulinum toxin injections. Palmar-plantar hyperhidrosis is primarily about controlling sweat secretion and is caused by a disorder in the sympathetic nervous system function. In treatment, antiperspirants used mainly contain aluminum salt compounds, such as 20% aluminum chloride. It should be used according to the doctor's instructions, every three to five days. Typically, dryness and flaking of the skin occur after using the medication, and timely skin care is necessary. Botulinum toxin injections can also be used to treat palmar-plantar hyperhidrosis. Botulinum toxin can inhibit the action of acetylcholine at local nerve endings, which also has a therapeutic effect on local hyperhidrosis. Moreover, the effect lasts relatively long, maintaining about six months.
