HYPERHIDROSIS: MISUNDERSTOOD AND MISDIAGNOSED
As individuals with Hyperhidrosis know all too well, the condition and its ramifications are difficult to explain to others. Friends, family, colleagues and sometimes even doctors often think that Hyperhidrosis is caused by emotional distress. This is simply not true.
Because Hyperhidrosis is misunderstood, many persons with the condition find themselves hiding their sweating from even their closest friends or partners.
In addition to friends and family members, physicians can also be unaware of the condition and how sufferers are affected.
Sweating - even excessive sweating that interrupts daily life - is not a high profile condition such as heart disease, cancer or diabetes. Therefore, and unfortunately, it is sometimes overlooked as a serious health concern. Patients are told that it's just sweat, get over it. And yet, for the twelve million individuals who suffer from Hyperhidrosis it's all too real, says Dr. Jim S. Garza.
THE GOOD NEWS: WITH PROPER DIAGNOSIS, DR. GARZA CAN HELP.
While Hyperhidrosis is often misdiagnosed, Dr. Jim S. Garza, a primary Hyperhidrosis specialist in
Texas
with Board Certification in Thoracic surgery, has been successfully treating patients for excessive sweating since 1981. In his practice, Dr. Garza has treated patients from seven to 74 years old.
The good news is that once the diagnosis is properly made and the degree of severity is determined the Hyperhidrosis can be resolved. The suffering and the stigma and the embarrassment can be eliminated, says Dr. Garza. Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that can be successfully treated and cured. However, proper diagnosis is a critical step in the resolution of Hyperhidrosis.
The diagnosis of Hyperhidrosis is made by reviewing a patient's history and a physical examination.
