An Evaluation of Hyperhidrosis in Females at the Age of 18–23 Years. A Study from Tamilnadu, India

Abstract

Excessive sweating caused by cholinergic receptors on eccrine glands being overstimulated is known as hyperhidrosis. Through disruption of the skin's natural defense systems, hyperhidrosis also directly affects skin conditions. As a result, dermatoses of bacterial, fungal, and less frequently viral origin are more common in afflicted people. A significant decline in the quality of life of patients is a result of the symptoms of excessive sweating. Daily activities are disrupted as a result of their substantial effects on several facets of life, including psychological, social, and even economic domains. Patients find them to be a great burden, which makes them feel alone and unconsciously self-conscious. Additionally, stress and emotions have the potential to worsen them. At the Sree Ramakrishna Medical College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences and Hospital in Kulasekharam, Tamil Nadu, India, ladies between the ages of 18 and 23 are participating in the study. Verbal consent was gained when the study's purpose was explained.Thirty respondents filled out this survey. The survey consists of thirty questions. This is not the usual level of understanding about food and water use. Women therefore need to be better informed about the need to get enough water, eating a healthy diet, using skincare products, managing stress, and getting enough sleep.
