Many people suffer from the agonizing daily perspiration caused by axillary hyperhidrosis. For those around you that don't have the condition, it seems difficult to understand how embarrassing and difficult life is to constantly sweat through your clothes. One of our hyperhidrosis patients commented that those around them never really understood how hard it is to live with hyperhidrosis. If you have any of the following symptoms, you may have options for treatment with the new FDA approved Miradry system that can control excessive underarm sweat:
- You apply deodorant or antiperspirant on your armpits more than once per day.
- You use clinical strength antiperspirant but still sweat through your clothes.
- You experience sweating through your shirts or blouses.
- You avoid social activities or physical activities because of excessive sweating.
- You notice stains on your clothes from sweat.
- You are afraid and embarrassed by your sweat during intimacy.
- You change clothes more than once daily because of underarm sweat.
