How many commercials have you seen where there happen to be a bunch of women jumping and dancing around, but only one of them has her harms waving in the air.
The others are looking around like they are ashamed, and checking to see if they have wet stains under their armpits.
Sweating armpits seem to be the bane of many peoples' existence.
Trust me, it is truly not the problem of just overweight or obese people.
Even the most skinniest person you could find may have just as much of a problem.
My father used to work with a man in construction.
This man had so much excessive armpit sweat that he would wear button-up short-sleeved shirts, and wait for it to soak with sweat.
He then told everyone that it was like having a built in air conditioner.
I am not sure about you, but I hate to have my shirt sticking anywhere! Unlike this gentleman, most people are very embarrassed by armpit stains.
There is an equal amount of people as far as men and women that happen to be afflicted with such a problem.
It becomes a lost situation when one cannot go out and have fun - for fear that armpit stains may show up at any time.
People who are working in jobs that do a lot of meet and greet or speeches in front of others suffer much from excess armpit sweating disorder.
Profuse underarm sweating takes place after adolescence, when the body begins to produce more hormones than during childhood.
Men or women who have a large degree of armpit sweat are usually told to shave the auxiliary hair.
Excessive underarm sweating is caused by the over stimulation of sweat glands by the autonomic nerves.
There are a ton of ways to stop armpit sweat including include antiperspirants, botox,oral medications, surgery, and iontophoesis.
Antiperspirants are usually more of a cover up when it comes to people with excessive sweat.
Botox swells up the area and blocks sweat gland stimulation, but can be painful, of course.
Just think - a needle going into your underarm - injecting you with bacteria.
Yuck! Oral medications tend to want to help with stress relief and tension - which tend to be big triggers of sweating profusely.
Surgery just removes the sweat glands completely, but this is very dangerous - since sweat glands are meant to cool down the body temperature.
Without them, you may end up with dehydration.
Surgical treatment for excessive armpit sweating should be offered only after all other avenues have tried and failed.
More often than not, there is one of two issues happening - either there is a stress related issue, or there truly is some nervous system issue (or other medical problem).
There are more than enough very good, sound advice out there that will propel you to find an actual solution - rather than to find a quick fix.
Finding what works for you is the best way to safely find a solution to the problem, rather than fixing the symptoms.
