ANHIDROSIS (Classical / Allopathic Medicine)

General description: anhidrosis is the inability of the body to sweat. Anhidrosis can be generalized, that is, on the whole body, or localized, that is, on a certain part of the body.

Anhidrosis can be caused by a number of conditions, including:

- Damage to the central nervous system, such as stroke or spinal cord injury
- Damage to the nerves that control sweating
- Skin conditions such as ichthyosis or psoriasis
- Severe burns
- Dehydration
- Side effects of some drugs, such as anticholinergics, antihistamines and diuretics

Anhidrosis can be a serious problem as it can lead to overheating of the body and serious complications such as heatstroke.

Treatment of anhidrosis depends on the underlying cause. If the anhidrosis is caused by a medical condition, treating the condition may help improve the anhidrosis. In cases where anhidrosis cannot be treated, measures to cool the body, such as cold baths or showers, or fans can be used.

If you have anhidrosis, it's important to see a doctor to find out the underlying cause and get proper treatment.
