Did you know that diagnosis of excessive sweating is also famous as “the silent handicap”? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imagine not being able to choose the clothing you like, greet people close to you, choose a career you prefer. Imagine feeling stressed out most of the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, it is just a tiny layer of what sweating beyond regular does to those affected by this condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re not familiar with this diagnosis, the name “silent handicap” might not be obvious. People who have hyperhidrosis, don’t usually talk about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can be seriously upsetting to struggle daily with basic tasks. It’s even harder to feel scared or ashamed, staying silent about it, and dealing with it on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
2. The exact reason for primary hyperhidrosis is unknown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n This fact might be not strange to you if you’re familiar with excessive sweating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you’ve just started your research, it might be hard to believe it. It’s nerve-wracking that a medical condition that affects so many people is still so unfamiliar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People affected by this type of excessive sweating have heard multiple times words like: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You’re stressed. You have it because of that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s just puberty, it\u2019ll pass.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You’re overweight, that’s why you have it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\nSometimes, the reasons above can increase sweating but they are not the cause of primary hyperhidrosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These people have often tried to lose weight and have done everything to not feel stressed. They do everything to improve their health, but their sweat problems remained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several medical papers suggest that a genetic origin might be, partly, a reason for transmission of sweat level above regular. However, more research is crucial to the mission to explore this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
3.<\/strong> More than 250 million people in the world suffer from hyperhidrosis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nInformation about the “silent handicap” isn’t familiar enough amongst health-care systems. The number of people suffering from extreme sweating and not getting help is surprisingly high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This number is ten times the population of Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sadly, a big amount of people aren’t aware that there is help to get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of them aren’t even aware that their state of sweating too much is a medical condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others know that a high level of sweat isn’t normal. However, they don’t know that there are clinics that they can reach out to and get a diagnosis and treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Times in a year like hyperhidrosis awareness month, are a grand opportunity to spread knowledge about this shameful disease. Unfortunately, it can seriously damage the life quality of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
What can you do to raise hyperhidrosis awareness?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf you are affected by hyperhidrosis, you can join the Hyperhidrosis Patient Association in your country\/region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
More members strengthen the possibility of pushing the issue of hyperhidrosis patients’ situations where you live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you feel comfortable speaking about your suffering and problems with hyperhidrosis with your surroundings, it can help you normalize the condition and make others with hyperhidrosis open up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have a person close to you that has hyperhidrosis, it’s important to communicate with your loved ones about their condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s critical not to accuse your loved ones of being responsible for their situation because they’re stressed or overweight, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We try to spread as much knowledge as we can on our blog, website, and social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we started helping people with hyperhidrosis, our starting point was the Nordic area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emmili Yoshiguchi together with Dr. Sandra Eriksson Mirkovic, run Svettpoden (The Sweat Podcast) and covered issues connected to this condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hope that an English version of this podcast will be available soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together we can make sure that everyone who’s affected by hyperhidrosis gets the right diagnosis, information, and help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
