“…These findings are similar to those reported by authors like Fenilli et al (2009), Kauffman et al (2011), Wolosker et al (2011), suggesting that the sample presents demographic elements, which are consistent with the literature. 9,12,13 …”

“…Studies about the assessment of declared QoL (quality of life) confirmed that most patients with PH described their lives as bad or very bad, due to the inconveniences caused by the disease. 12,23 Thus, it can be understood that the inconvenience suffered in the personal, social, professional and emotional spheres may be responsible for the negative feelings reported in the HADS questionnaire, which probably influenced the presence of anxiety and, to a lesser degree, depression in those affected by PH.…”

BACKGROUNDPrimary hyperhidrosis (PH) can lead to mood changes due to the inconveniences it causes.OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to examine the existence of anxiety and depression in patients with severe primary hyperhidrosis who sought treatment at a medical office.METHODSThe questionnaire "Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale" was used for 197 individuals, in addition to the chi square test and Fisher exact test, p <0.05.RESULTSThere was an increased prevalence of anxiety (49.6%) but not of depression (11.2%) among patients with PH, with no link to gender, age or amount of affected areas. Palmar and plantar primary hyperhidrosis were the most frequent but when associated with the presence of anxiety, the most frequent were the axillary (p = 0.02) and craniofacial (p = 0.02) forms. There was an association between patients with depression and anxiety (p = 0.001).CONCLUSIONSthe involvement of Primary hyperhidrosis was responsible for a higher prevalence of anxiety than that described among the general population and patients with other chronic diseases. Depression had a low prevalence rate, while mild and moderate forms were the most common and frequently associated with anxiety. The degree of anxiety was higher in mild and moderate types than in the severe form.

“…There are different prevalence ranges around the globe, ranging from 0.6% to 16.3% 5 . In Brazil, the prevalence in the general population is 9.0% 6 and, in a specific group, 14.7% 7 . Sweating is usually bilateral, symmetrical, and triggered or worsened by stressful stimuli, with no interference from ambient temperature and usually ceases during sleep.…”

“…The same situation is seen in the professional environment, having a direct impact in QoL 11 . PH diagnosis is clinical, with well-defined criteria and easy applicability 6 and disease severity assessment is made using the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS), which ranges from 1 to 4, with grades 1 and 2 correspondings to mild or moderate hyperhidrosis, and grades 3 and 4 indicate severe hyperhidrosis 12 .…”

Aim: To assess the prevalence, quality of life (QoL), and the damages caused by PH, in the professional and personal scope of Physical Education academics with Primary Hyperhidrosis (PH). Methods: A descriptive, exploratory, qualitative and quantitative cross-sectional study was carried out. Twenty-five students from the physical education course at Tiradentes University, Aracaju-SE, were interviewed from August to November 2017. Validated questionnaires were used on PH's influence in academic activities and QoL. absolute and relative frequencies in the case of categorical variables and measures of trend and central variability in the case of numerical variables. Results: The prevalence of PH in students of Physical Education was 11.11%, mainly in combined sites, such as palmoplantar, and with no difference between the sexes. The symptoms started mostly during childhood and adolescence. Most of the interviewees (92%) reported difficulties with activities such as sports, use of personal protective equipment, handling of work equipment and instruments, and exacerbation in stress situations. They reported significant harm to QoL in situations of greeting people with handshakes, writing, wearing socks and dancing socially. Conclusion: Although PH is a disease that negatively impacts the QoL, it is still little known in the academic world with little demand for medical help. Therefore, it is necessary greater dissemination of the disease for its early diagnosis, related to the intensity of the sweating for a better therapeutic approach.

“…Studies report that the effects of hyperhidrosis are compared with more serious diseases such as severe psoriasis, renal failure at advanced stages, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. 5 Patients refer difficulties at work and decreased productivity, wasted time trying to control their disease, problems in relationships with friends and sexual relations, social phobia and difficulty with recreational activities, sports and manual and writing skills. 6 In addition to the psychosocial aspect, focal hyperhidrosis can increase the incidence of other skin diseases such as infections caused by fungi and bacteria, increased viral warts, eczematous lesions and bromhidrosis.…”

Hyperhidrosis is the excessive production of sweating, which can be primary and focal or secondary to various pathologies. The exact cause of primary focal hyperhidrosis is still unknown, although a genetic basis is recognized, and its prevalence varies from 1% to 2.8%. The most affected sites are the armpits, palms, soles and face. It causes much discomfort, affects the quality of life, and is estimated to be undervalued by health professionals. Many treatment options are proposed, both clinical and surgical. The aim of this review is to focus on the treatment of hyperhidrosis with oxybutynin, an anticholinergic drug originally used to control overactive bladder.
