Hyperhidrosis 4 questions 1, what is hyperhidrosis? Hyperhidrosis is a disease caused by excessive secretion of sweat glands due to sympathetic overexcitation. It is mostly characterized by local or generalized sweating. The sympathetic nerve governs sweating throughout the body.

In hyperhidrosis, however, sweating and facial flushing are completely out of normal control.
