hyperhidrosis
This term is a clinical designation used primarily in medical contexts to describe a pathological state of perspiration. It carries a neutral, diagnostic tone and is used to distinguish a medical disorder from the common, physiological response of sweating due to heat or exertion.
As a medical condition, the word is treated as an uncountable noun. It refers to the state of the condition rather than individual instances of sweating, meaning it does not take a plural form in standard clinical usage.
