When it comes to compensatory sweating, size matters. At least that's what a recent study* indicates. It is a well known fact that while surgery (thoracic sympathectomy) is an effective means of treating palmar hyperhidrosis, it can often lead to significant compensatory sweating. Investigators have recently shown that individuals with a BMI (body mass index, an indicator based on weight and height) of 25 or more are likely to develop more severe forms of post-surgical compensatory sweating compared to those with a BMI below 25. |

And the increase in compensatory sweating was significant. With most individuals, the increase in sweating was several fold. In some cases the increase was five-fold.
