Hyperhidrosis (excessive Sweating) And Self-esteem

People with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) often feel uncomfortable around others. It is therefore not surprising that this disease worsens their self-esteem. You sweat spontaneously and intensely, regardless of the temperature and whether you move or not. 

Then learn how hyperhidrosis can affect self-esteem.

Treatment of hyperhidrosis

Excessive sweating becomes the protagonist in the life of those affected and affects them not only physically but also mentally. Self-esteem suffers greatly, so it is important for patients to find effective treatment. 

The following tips can help:

• Medical examination:  The doctor can determine the exact causes and initiate appropriate treatment.

• Hygiene:  Hygiene is fundamental in order to prevent unpleasant body odors, which further impair self-esteem.
• Systemic drugs: The doctor may prescribe drugs to reduce sweating if needed. It helps the patient to set the correct dose.
• Surgery: If symptoms are severe and no other method works, surgery may be considered.
• Electrogalvanic Bath: Galvanized electricity can also be very helpful in the event of excessive sweating.

If the treatment is efficient,   you can improve your self-esteem too!

Psychological treatment for hyperhidrosis

If the self-esteem is severely impaired by hyperhidrosis, therapy with a psychologist can be very helpful. Sufferers have to learn to accept the disease. We also encourage everyone to google David Broncano. This comedian makes fun of his hyperhidrosis on stage.

Some also find balance in the gym, as everyone sweats there. But  as a rule they feel insecure and weak and sometimes even try to hide their problem from their own partner. We would therefore like to recall Violeta’s testimony: “The worst is not the condition itself, it is that your whole life revolves around it.”

A purely aesthetic problem?

The self-esteem of those affected usually suffers because sweating is negatively affected and is associated with  body odor, dirt and poor hygiene. However, it is a completely natural process. Nobody caresSport is about it, but in other situations sweating is embarrassing and is not accepted by society.

But there are several ways to improve the situation. Let your doctor examine you and advise you so that your quality of life does not suffer as a result!
