How Can Hyperhidrosis Be Treated?
I ve been facing this situation since birth and that is Hyperhydrosis (extreme sweating in Palms and Feet), I ve gone through lots of treatments but haven t got any luck so far. I need a quick fix to this problem, browsing over the internet gave me some suggestions which includes usage of DrySol (Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate (topical)) and it seems that this should work in my case as there are lots of positive reviews regarding this solution on the internet. But the problem is that i couldn t find this solution anywhere on the Pharmacies, I ve searched almost all the famous Pharmacies but seems like nobody has ever heard of it before. Can anyone please suggest me from where i can get this solution (Drysol) ? or may be some equivalent to this solution which has the same formula (Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate (topical)) available here in Pakistan. Anxiously waiting for reply

Hello,
Going by your history you probably seem to have Secondary Generalized hyperhidrosis/GH.
Masturbation is nowhere implicated in causing hyperhidrosis. Likewise, NF Cure and Shilajit are not known to cause hyperhidrosis.
GH is your case could be secondary to long-term use on Inderal.
This drug is directly known to cause GH.
Likewise, the scrotal enlargement and pain abdomen have to be seriously evaluated since any infection (like abdominal or genital TB ) is known to cause or aggravate GH.
In this context, I would like to ask you another query-
-Is there any nocturnal hyperhidrosis?
-Is there excessive nighttime sweating?
To rule out these medical issues I advise you to get an Ultrasound abdomen as Scrotal Ultrasound Doppler. These investigations are mandated in your case.
Additionally, I advise you the following blood work up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
