After a spicy dinner your favorite restaurant, you realize that your shirt is wet, your back
and chest are damped. You notice that after a very important interview, your hands are
shaking and notice that your hands are all sweaty. After missing a would-be-collision, you
wipe moisture from your brow. These situations often cause severe shame to the people who
experience, especially in social interactions.
Andy is a 17-year old high school junior who has a crush on the school’s cheerleader
Sophie. After months of gathering up the courage to approach her and introduce himself, he
finally got the chance of his life when they were both invited to a party. Wearing his favoring
shirt, he went to the party optimistic that he’ll finally ask her out. At the party, he bravely
went in front of her and offered his hand for a handshake, but alas! His palms were all
sweaty, and worst of all, he noticed that he has a big and ugly sweat mark on the area of his
chest and armpit! Because of shame, he went back to his seat and sulked. He kept on asking
himself what’s the matter with his body. Didn’t he just use an antiperspirant before leaving
the house?
Poor Andy! In one word, his problem is excessive sweating..
Sweat is the byproduct of our body’s internal thermostat and air conditioning system which
responds to stress, foods and danger. It is the body’s response to cool down your system
when the going gets tough. Sweating cools down your system through vasodilatation of the
vessels, which in turn would release the heat from your body.
There is nothing complicated about the mechanics of sweat or perspiration. It is a biological
phenomenon wherein the hypothalamus in the brain controls the temperature of the body
in a process called thermoregulation. This phenomenon varies from person to person: it is
dependent on genetics, environment and physical activity,
Sweating or perspiration is the production of fluid by the sweat glands in the skin of
mammals. Sweat contains chemicals or odorants 2-methylphenol and 4-methylphenol
and a small amount of urea. Commonly, sweat is odorless. However, if acted upon by
microorganisms, the sweat can produce body odor which is usually not pleasant to smell.
This in turn would cause distress to the person because this has a negative impact not only
physically but only emotionally since these people tend to be withdrawn from society because
of the stigma associated with it.
In humans, sweating is essentially a means of thermoregulation. Evaporation of sweat
from skin has a cooling effect due to the latent heat of evaporation of water. Hence, a hot
weather, exercise, nervousness or any sympathetic stimulation causes a person to sweat.
Sweating is a temperature decreasing mechanism of the human body when it is too hot. It
results to an increased rate of evaporative heat loss when the body core temperature rises
above the critical level of 37 C (98.6 F). An additional 1 C increase in body temperature causes
enough sweating to remove ten times the basal rate of body heat production.
When the going gets tough, like when it’s too hot or in the face of stress and danger, the
body produces sweat to cool the skin through evaporation to chill the blood that will go into
the internal organs and muscles.
Even the most inactive person sweats as much as a quart a day. Athletes, such as marathon
runners may produce up to two gallons of sweat during competitions. However, whenever
sweating is beyond the normal, a condition called hyperhydrosis is the primary consideration.
The cause of this disorder is hypersecretion of the sweat gland and is triggered usually by
http://andrew17457.sweatawaytoday.comstress, anxiety or metabolic disturbances.
The accepted definition of excessive sweating is still not available. Normally, sweat
production is less than 1 mL/m2/min. However, this is not a good measurement parameter
because small people will tend to be diagnosed with hyperhydrosis even though he is
just sweating normally. To solve this, hyperhydrosis or excessive sweating is defined if the
sweating interferes with the normal daily activities of a person.
