The causes of hyperhidrosis can generally be divided into two types: organic diseases and functional disorders. The former is mainly seen in endocrine disorders and systemic diseases, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, hypertension, hyperpituitarism, congestive heart failure; nervous system diseases, such as concussion, hemiplegia, spinal trauma; tumors, such as metastatic tumors, carcinoid; and infectious diseases, such as malaria, tuberculosis, undulant fever, etc. Functional hyperhidrosis is generally characterized by more psychogenic sweating, such as that caused by high emotional stimulation such as mental tension, excitement, fear, anxiety, pain, and anger. Excessive sweating may occur due to increased nerve impulses caused by mental damage or emotional impulses, which increase the secretion of acetylcholine. It may also be caused by increased tension of sweat gland nerves and sympathetic nerve disorders. Excessive sweating may occur during menstruation and in some genetic syndromes.
