Hyperhidrosis

From WikiCover

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition which results in sweating that exceeds the normal amount required to maintain consistent body temperature. People who have hyperhidrosis sweat up to five times more than average. At least three percent of people suffer from hyperhidrosis.

The International Hyperhidrosis Society is an independent global non-profit organization that strives to improve quality of life for those affected by excessive sweating. The society promotes research and conducts education on the physiological effects of hyperhidrosis, raises awareness about its emotional and economic impact and advocates for patient access to effective treatments.

The society's website includes a physician finder to help anyone with excessive sweating to find medical help, information on additional treatment options, and a comprehensive collection of insurance and reimbursement tools, including downloadable forms, which can help sufferers work with their physicians and health insurance plans to get the correct coverage for necessary treatments. A self assessment tool is also available to help people determine how much sweat is too much.
