Guest guest Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I know some doctors use Botox to treat overactive sweating glands, and as far as I know it can be covered by insurance.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 is sweating associated with PCOS at all? how old is he - manopause changes can effect men too http://www.livestrong.com/article/135411-what-are-causes-underarm-sweating/ - mentions increase in progesterone ratio as a culprit of increased sweating  http://www.hgh.org/Hormones/Hormones-And-Sweating.html - hyperthyroid and diabetes also associated with excess sweating I would encourage selenium, iodine, zinc, magnesium - which could be a pumpkin seed snack, 2 Brazil nuts and a kelp capsule - with a meal. the loading dose of Iodoral for one month plus the Brazil nuts would probably be better but - any little step yeah - might want to check out that PCOS RD, men can get the problem because it is in the brain not the ovaries alone. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3109293/ Greater Exercise Sweating in Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Compared with Obese Controls Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2010 September; 42(9): 1660–1668. doi: 10.1249/MSS.0b013e3181d8cf68 However, the women with PCOS achieved thermal regulation at the expense of producing high volumes of sweat, even at mild exercise intensity. Indeed, the exercise intensity in these sessions was light and elicited a very low sweating rate in our obese subjects without PCOS. Thus, women with PCOS sweated earlier and more profusely relative to women without PCOS to maintain their core temperature. Both groups were obese (BMI ≥ 29.8 kg·m-2) in this study, suggesting that the thermoregulatory changes seen in our PCOS women were independent of obesity. Finally, although estradiol administration increased sweating in the control women, women with PCOS were insensitive to changes in estradiol exposure, with or without testosterone.The women with PCOS were smaller than the control women, which may have indicated a greater fitness level. Thus, it is possible that the earlier sweating threshold reflected improved fitness in our group with PCOS. We consider this difference in fitness unlikely because both groups described similar levels of physical activity in their daily lives; none of the women exercised regularly in either group, and there is nothing to suggest greater fitness other than lower body weight.
