Sweating is an integral partnormal functioning of the human body. And we can see the results with our own eyes - wet socks, stains on clothes in the armpit area and other "delights". But in most cases, sweating does not cause much concern - hygiene and deodorants allow you to keep sweat under strict control. But in some cases, sweating is so profuse that it poisons normal life. And you simply cannot ignore this phenomenon. And it is risky, since excessive sweating is often one of the first signs of some diseases. But even a child understands that the sooner you start treatment, the less trouble the disease will cause. Therefore, immediately look for the causes of sweating.
Problems with the central nervous system
One of the most common reasons- problems with the central nervous system. Almost always this problem can be dealt with, but only if the disease is diagnosed in a timely manner and treatment is started immediately.
- Vegetosovascular dystonia
Vegetative-vascular dystonia is a disordervery peculiar. Despite the fact that this pathology is diagnosed more often than other diseases, there is not much information about it - only a general description. Vegetative-vascular dystonia has the following symptoms: frequent headaches, a tendency to lower blood pressure, constantly pale skin, rapid fatigue and often increased sleepiness. And, of course, the notorious increased sweating. In this case, doctors prescribe a course of treatment aimed at improving the condition of blood vessels and the overall tone of the body. Doctors have noted that a tendency to such sweating is often inherited.
- Increased emotional excitability
Increased sweating cannot be avoidedin the case when a person is characterized by excessive emotional excitability. The slightest emotional shock entails a release of adrenaline and, as a result, profuse sweating. Moreover, the reason for this can be a mere trifle - a movie scene, an offensive word, or just a sharp loud sound in the end. In this situation, the doctors' measures will be aimed at normalizing the activity of the nervous system.
Problems with the hormonal background
If there are problems with the central nervous systemsystems are excluded, you should consult an endocrinologist. It is very likely that the cause of excessive sweating is a violation of the normal hormonal background. And this is a very, very serious pathology that requires immediate medical intervention.
- Thyrotoxicosis
This term refers to a disease,characterized by excessive activity of the thyroid gland. In this case, in addition to increased sweating, a person notices the following symptoms: general weakness, increased appetite, weight loss, low body temperature. As the disease progresses, the thyroid gland begins to increase noticeably.
- Pheochromocytoma and hypoglycaemia
In the event that a tumor developsadrenal glands, the body constantly produces excess amounts of adrenaline. Incidentally, the same thing happens with glycemia - a decrease in blood sugar levels. It is easy to guess that sweating in this case will be very strong.
- Age features
Hormonal levels can change withoutany pathologies - for example, during puberty. About 70% of all teenagers noted excessive sweating, which eventually passed without any intervention. Approximately the same thing happens during menopause - a woman's hormonal background changes radically, which can lead to excessive sweating. In this case, you should not expect the situation to normalize on its own - in some cases, you simply cannot do without drug treatment.
Infectious diseases
In some cases, the cause of excessive sweatinginfectious diseases may occur. In this case, the problem arises suddenly, in addition to excessive sweating, a lot of other symptoms are observed. A sick person should consult a doctor as soon as possible, because some infectious diseases can be a serious threat not only to health, but also to human life.
- Colds
ARI, ARI, flu, common cold - allthese diseases in most cases entail an increase in body temperature. And where there is hyperthermia - there is also heavy sweating. Moreover, sweating most often begins when the body temperature begins to decrease. In this case, the only way to get rid of sweating is recovery.
- Exotic Diseases
If you often travel abroad, especially inhot countries, sudden intense sweating should alert you - this is how many exotic infections begin. Therefore, immediately consult a doctor, even if you regularly get all conceivable and inconceivable vaccinations. But in fairness, it should be noted that this happens extremely rarely.
- Tuberculosis
But tuberculosis, unfortunately,is much more common. And he doesn't care that it's the 21st century... And he doesn't care about vaccinations... Doctors around the world register more and more new cases of tuberculosis every day. And most of them are already in a fairly advanced form. Which, however, is not surprising, because tuberculosis proceeds for quite a long time practically asymptomatically. And the only sign is increased sweating, especially at night. Therefore, this cause of sweating should also be excluded first.
Physiological feature of the body
Despite the fact that increased sweatingare accompanied by many diseases, there is no need to panic. Of course, it is absolutely necessary to see a doctor - at least for your own peace of mind. But most likely the doctor will tell you that your sweating is just an individual feature of the body. This can be sweating of both the armpits and other parts of the body - feet, palms, head, back, chest. Sweating can occur from time to time, or it can persist regularly. It goes without saying that high ambient temperatures aggravate the situation. Which, however, is quite understandable, because sweating is nothing more than the body's way of cooling down.
The way to combat excessive sweating
If sweating is caused by a particular disease- It's very simple: get rid of it and you will stop sweating. But even if excessive sweating is part of your physiology, you should not just tolerate it. In most cases, sweating can be kept under control by following a few simple rules:
- Personal hygiene
If your skin is constantly damp, you will have totake a shower a little more often - at least twice a day. And both times use shower gel to remove all the bacteria from the skin, which feel great in the secretions of the sweat glands. And in order to prevent overdrying of the skin, buy a moisturizing body cream.
- Underwear
Pay special attention to underwear -it must be changed as needed, as soon as it becomes damp. Otherwise, discomfort and an unpleasant odor are guaranteed. If your feet sweat a lot, change your socks regularly. The material from which the clothes are made also plays an important role. If you sweat excessively, it is highly recommended to avoid synthetics. It is better to give preference to natural fabrics - cotton, linen, wool.
- Deodorants
Don't forget about the existence of deodorants- they will help to relieve the severity of the problem. But please note: deodorant and antiperspirant are not the same thing. Deodorant simply masks the smell of sweat, and antiperspirant - suppresses its secretion. So - do not overuse antiperspirants, once a day is enough. But deodorants - as much as you like. In any case, remember that excessive sweating should not be ignored - it can and should be fought. Do not let sweat rule your life. We recommend reading:
