Axillary Hyperhidrosis (Underarm Sweating)

Axillary Hyperhidrosis (Underarm Sweating)

Axillary Hyperhidrosis, or excessive underarm sweating, is a medical condition in which the glands produce far more sweat than is needed for bodily temperature control. It’s thought to be caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system, which in turn, over-stimulates the sweat glands.

Is there a link between deodorants or antiperspirants and breast cancer?

Stories claiming that using deodorants or antiperspirants increases the risk of breast cancer have been circulating on the internet and by email for several years. This issue also gets a lot of press coverage from time to time. Since these claims began to circulate some studies have looked at the possible link between deodorants/antiperspirants and breast cancer. But there is still no
good scientific evidence that a link exists.

Klima Antiperspirant Product Review

It all started in the summer of 2009, when I was in a short vacation in England with my wife and friends. I have some embarrassing sweat issues that I couldn’t control no matter how hard I tried. Someone recommended me Klima Antiperspirant, a clinical strength antiperspirant that helps people like me, that are suffering from a medical condition named hyperhidrosis.

Follow the guidelines on how to use efficiently Klima Antiperspirant:

After you shower, wait until your underarms are completely dry to apply Klima. Apply liberally (4-6 sprays each) and be sure to saturate the area. Your underarm should look and feel wet after you have sprayed.

After about 15 seconds, the product will dry and the chemical smell will dissipate. You are now protected from wetness and odor for up to 5 days. It’s OK to shower between uses, but this will reduce the effectiveness of Klima.

For those who suffer from severe odor or wetness, you may use Klima daily, and supplement your daily regimen with another over-the-counter deodorant or antiperspirant/deodorant of your choice.

It may take about a week of use for Klima to become 100% effective.

Follow the steps exactly like they are listed above and you’ll be fine. If you are allergic to any of the ingredients this antiperspirant contains, please refer to a specialist to make sure it’s O.K. to use Klima. However, if you have aluminum intolerance, then you can use other antiperspirant, produced by the same company named Hyper-Dri Aluminum-free Antiperspirant.

Ingredients: Ethyl Alcohol, Aqua (water), Aluminum Chloride, Aluminum Chlorohydrate, Glycerin, Alcloxa, Dimethicone, Propylene Glycol, Triethyl Citrate, Parfum (fragrance)

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE STUDY OF SWEATING

Heat dissipation is vital for mammalian survival during exercise and heat stress. In humans, an important mode of heat dissipation occurs through evaporation of sweat secreted from eccrine glands. The first description of sweating dates back to the ancient Greeks. In Aristotle’s writings entitled Parts of Animals, as translated by Peck, he summarized their understanding of sweating as follows:

The blood vessels get progressively smaller as they go on until their channel is too small for the blood to pass through.

But although the blood cannot get through them, the residue of the fluid moisture, which we call sweat can do so, and this
happens when the body is thoroughly heated and the blood vessels are open widely at their mouth.

Although in the 1600s the basic sweat gland duct was described, the existence of a sweat gland was not accepted until the 1800s.

Furthermore, the importance of sweating for thermoregulation was not fully recognized until the 20th century.

Especially noteworthy is Kuno’s monograph published in 1934 as The Physiology of Human Perspiration, and later updated as “Human Perspiration” , which at that time provided the most comprehensive review of sweating. Subsequently, many researchers have studied the physiology of sweating toward a greater understanding of the mechanisms and controllers of sweating. The objective of this review is to outline these mechanisms and controllers of sweating, specifically during exercise and heat stress.

Excessive Underarm Sweating, Its Causes, Symptoms and Cures

Armpit sweating is also called axillary hyperhidrosis. It can be a very embarrassing disease to have, because it prohibits you from engaging in any type of physical activity. It will also taint your clothes, letting everybody else know that you have a certain condition that you can't be proud of.

Everybody sweats in their armpits. This is normal, especially during the hotter weather or when exercising in the gym. If your underarms sweat without provocation, then it may be the time when the problem becomes too apparent.
A lot of people see axillary hyperhidrosis as a health concern that can otherwise affect one's work, activities, and daily living. It can also infringe on one's social and interpersonal relations.

People with this problem can also wear limited types and colors of shirts and clothes. As much as possible, they are only advised to wear light colored shirts with fabrics that will not reveal the sweat marks under their arms.

The bigger concern related to axillary hyperhidrosis could probably be odor problems. Since sweat is the favorite breeding ground of bacteria, it is common for people with this problem to develop body odor as well.

Causes

Axillary hyperhidrosis can be genetic. It is a disease that can be passed on from one generation to another. However, improper hygiene may also trigger the problem in some cases. If you fail to observe proper body cleanliness such as not taking a bath and washing your underarms regularly, then you're more likely to develop axillary hyperhidrosis with body odor. In some cases, the actual cause of this condition is yet to be discovered by medical researchers.

Symptoms

The wet marks on your shirt will be the tell-tale sign that you are suffering from axillary hyperhidrosis. There may or may not be odor in your sweat. After all, sweat on its own is odorless. Sweat may contain small amounts of salt and other solutes. However, they don't necessarily produce odor. What actually bring a foul smell to sweat is the bacteria that combine with it.

Cure

Right now, there are many antiperspirants and deodorants available in the market. They have varying effectiveness. You can try all of them and see which one solves the problem best. If over-the-counter medications don't prove to be good for you, you can ask the help of a dermatologist to write you a prescription for a stronger antiperspirant cream. Of course, you would have to follow the strict instructions that would come along with it.

Aluminum chloride diluted in ethyl alcohol is a very good home remedy for axillary sweating. This solution, including all other topical remedies, is best applied at night before going to bed. Never apply it on open wounds or after shaving your underarms, as this can cause skin rashes and inflammation.

There are also oral medications that can help address the situation, although using these remedies requires the guidance of your doctor as well. These drugs may have side effects that could otherwise deter your health or may come in the way of other medications. Extreme cases of axillary hyperhidrosis can be cured with surgery.
