Question 1

what is the typical cause of heavy sweating in women?

Accepted Answer

Various Causes: Hyperhidrosis (or excess sweating) is more common than you'd think! antiperspirants are the simple answer, but often won't work with true hyperhidrosis. I have had success treating patients underarms, hands, feet, forehead, and scalp with botox. Botox is fda approved for sweating and is very safe and effective. Botox typically lasts for 6 months when used for excess sweating. Hope this helps!

Question 2

expert opinion please: could sweating a lot on purpose help me lose fat/weight?

Accepted Answer

Calories in/out: Losing weight is all about having a higher number of calories burned than taken in. Sweating on purpose means you are exercising which is great. My suggestion is to find an app or website that will help you track the calories of all the foods you have eaten and how much exercise you have done to figure out the rate at which you will lose weight.
