Upper body compensatory hyperhidrosis

Introduction The compensatory hyperhidrosis of the upper body is due to the fact that the sweat glands in one part are not treated by a certain factor, and the sweat glands in the other part are compensated to maintain the body temperature. Since the sweat glands in a certain part are not treated by certain factors, the sweat glands in the other part are compensated to maintain body temperature. Some of the lower limbs secondary to diabetic peripheral neuropathy have no sweat or sweatiness and modern compensatory hyperhidrosis. Upper body (torso-based) heat-stimulated hyperhidrosis, after sympathectomy, pathological and gustatory hyperhidrosis occurs after cervical and thoracic sympathectomy.

Cause

(1) Causes of the disease

Since the sweat glands in a certain part are not treated by certain factors, the sweat glands in the other part are compensated to maintain body temperature. Some of the lower limbs secondary to diabetic peripheral neuropathy have no sweat or sweatiness and modern compensatory hyperhidrosis. Upper body (torso-based) heat-stimulated hyperhidrosis, after sympathectomy, pathological and gustatory hyperhidrosis occurs after cervical and thoracic sympathectomy.

(two) pathogenesis

The pathogenesis is still unclear.

Common diseases are as follows:

1. Diabetes: secondary to the lower limbs of diabetic peripheral neuropathy without sweat or sweating, modern compensatory hyperhidrosis.

(1) Upper body (torso-based) heat-stimulated hyperhidrosis, common with night sweats.

(2) facial and neck taste hyperhidrosis.

2. After sympathectomy, pathological and gustatory hyperhidrosis occurred after cervical and thoracic sympathectomy.

3. Night sweat, in addition to the above reasons can cause excessive sweat, but also due to cardiovascular endocarditis, lymphoma, hyperthyroidism, systemic vasculitis, pheochromocytoma, carcinoid syndrome, withdrawal reaction, autonomy Night sweats can occur in uncontrolled states and other chronic infectious diseases.

Diagnosis can be based on the characteristics of clinical manifestations.

Differential diagnosis

Need to be identified with the following symptoms:

Emotional hyperhidrosis: Emotional hyperhidrosis is caused by emotional stimulation, increased secretion of acetylcholine and hyperhidrosis, and cortical or emotional sweating after sexual stimulation is a special type.

Sympathetic nerves are highly stressed: Hyperhidrosis is a disease in which excessive sweat glands are caused by over-excitation of sympathetic nerves or high tension. Sympathetic innervation dominates the body's sweating. Under normal circumstances, the sympathetic nerve regulates the body's body temperature by controlling sweating, but the patient's sweating and facial flushing completely lose normal control. Hyperhidrosis and facial flushing make the patient daily. In helplessness, anxiety or panic.
