Question:
Any Doctors in the house? My brother suffers from excessive sweating which is getting out of hand now?
This has been going on for about 5 years now. Every time he comes to my house or anyone else's house we have to open all the windows and when he drives he always has air con on.Yesterday he went indoor sky diving with the wind turbine thing blowing at about 140 mph.. he was still sweating.
He has been to his doctor twice and was given tablets about 5 years ago that did not work. The recommended deodarants which did not work. Now they are saying there is some type of injection or the choice of an operation he can have [the latter of which may be dangerous]. He would have to have the injection or the operation done privately as they are not available in the UK on the NHS.
What injection or operation are they talking about? Are there any alternatives?
A little about him.. he is 32 years old , not overweight [which I think can sometimes cause these problems ] and with no other health problems
Answers:
This condition is called Hyperhydrosis .
If you Google (hyperhidrosis treatment medical) this will tell you all you need to know. He needs professional advice on possible alternatives so I suggest that he requests his GP for a referral to a specialist medical center .I suggest that you also look at the following useful references :-
