While menopause marks the end of a woman's ability to conceive, it's symptoms usually undermine this significant physiological change. Better known for its annoying symptoms, these include hot flushes, sleep disturbances, mood swings and night sweats. While not very common, craniofacial hyperhidrosis is also a symptom associated with menopause. Unlike typical focal hyperhidrosis, 'menopausal hyperhidrosis' occurs later in life, is very difficult to treat, does not appear to be inherited and eventually subsides. |
