Esvízlefolyás

Esvízlefolyás, also known as hypohidrosis, is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that occurs in response to emotional stress or warm temperatures. Unlike the sweating that occurs during physical exertion, which is a normal physiological response, esvízlefolyás is often disproportionate to the stimulus and can significantly impact an individual's quality of life.

The primary symptom of esvízlefolyás is excessive sweating, which can manifest in various ways, including sweaty palms, armpits, and soles of the feet. In some cases, the sweating may be generalized, affecting multiple areas of the body. The sweating is often described as clammy or wet, and it can lead to discomfort, embarrassment, and social isolation.

The exact cause of esvízlefolyás is not always clear, but it is believed to be related to abnormalities in the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates the body's response to stress. Genetic factors may also play a role, as esvízlefolyás can run in families. Other potential triggers include certain medications, hormonal changes, and underlying medical conditions such as thyroid disorders or diabetes.

Treatment options for esvízlefolyás vary depending on the severity of the symptoms and the individual's preferences. Antiperspirants and iontophoresis, a technique that uses a mild electric current to deliver medication to the skin, are commonly used to manage sweating. In some cases, oral medications such as glycopyrrolate or oxetorone may be prescribed. For more severe cases, botulinum toxin injections or surgical procedures may be considered.

It is important to note that esvízlefolyás is not a life-threatening condition, but it can have a significant impact on an individual's mental health and social interactions. If you or someone you know is experiencing excessive sweating, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
