Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be caused by overactive sweat glands, certain medications, stress, or underlying medical conditions.
Common hyperhidrosis symptoms include excessive sweating in specific areas (underarms, palms, feet, face), sweat stains on clothing, and frequent need for antiperspirants or changes of clothes.
Causes of excessive sweating in males can include genetics, hormonal changes, anxiety, or an overactive nervous system triggering excessive sweat production.
Sudden excessive sweating in females may be due to hormonal fluctuations, menopause, stress, or underlying medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism.
