What Is Excess Underarm Sweating?
Sweating is a natural and essential bodily function, but for some people, excessive underarm sweating, known medically as axillary hyperhidrosis, goes far beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation.
Excess underarm sweating occurs when the sweat glands produce far more perspiration than necessary, often regardless of temperature or activity level. This can lead to visible damp patches, clothing restrictions, and constant self‑awareness in social or professional situations.
What Causes Excess Underarm Sweating?
Excess underarm sweating is often driven by overactive sweat glands that produce far more perspiration than the body requires. This may stem from:
Primary Hyperhidrosis:
A genetic, non-medical condition where nerves overstimulate sweat production, typically affecting both underarms and starting early in life. Regardless of the temperature and your physical activity, you will sweat excessively.
Secondary Hyperhidrosis:
Caused by underlying health conditions, medications, or hormonal changes, often presenting later and affecting the whole body. It can also be an effect of alcohol, caffeine or being overweight. By addressing the underlying causes, this can be improved.
Emotional & Environmental Triggers:
Stress, heat, and anxiety can intensify sweating in those predisposed to the condition.
