	According to the contemporary medical sciences as well, the increased sweating or hyperhidrosis may be a constitutional abnormality often present with family history. It can also be physiologically present as feature of flushing at the time of onset of natural menopause. Pathological causes might include thyroid over-activity, phaeochromocytoma, acromegaly, gustatory hyperhidrosis (autonomic dysfunction and diabetes mellitus), serotonin secreting carcinoid tumors of gut. It is also seen in the patients with acute hematological malignancies.

	In muscular exercise: The sweating i.e. both thermal and mental is reduced by cold, which at the same time also reduces, cutaneous circulation. It is also reduced by dehydration which be the result of deprivation of fluids intake or due to the process of sweating itself.
