Treatment

The prescription of targeted treatment becomes possible after a full thorough patient examination and establishing diagnosis of primary hyperhidrosis (axillary, palmar, plantar or their combination).

In case of the increased sweating combined with some other disease (secondary hyperhidrosis), it is necessary to treat the underlying disease.

Nowadays there are two groups of methods in the treatment of groundless increase of sweating:

• 1.Conservative methods:

  diet, psychotherapy, radiotherapy, electrophoresis, antiperspirants, botulinum toxin A administration;

• 2. Surgical methods:

  operative interventions, which can be divided into two groups. The first group comprises operative interventions performed directly in the problem area (these operative interventions are only possible in case of underarm (axillary) hyperhidrosis). The second one is operative interventions on nerve ganglia.
