Excessive sweating is a problem, a familiar one.very many people. Someone sweats feet or palms, but in most cases you have to deal with excessive sweating of the axillae. This phenomenon gives a lot of trouble. Judge for yourself - a very unpleasant smell, permanent wet spots and stains on clothing, stains that are washed extremely hard. In addition, there is a strong psychological discomfort - it is very difficult to communicate with people, knowing that you, as always, have wet armpits. Sometimes the problem takes a more global scale - a person almost completely refuses to communicate, closes in himself. And often the problem is largely exaggerated by the very sick person. 
Causes of severe sweating
Why sick? Yes because excessive sweating, in medicine bearing the name of hyperhidrosis, in most cases is a testament to the disruption of the normal functioning of the sympathetic department of the central nervous system. This department of the nervous system is responsible for activating the body in various stressful situations. This was especially true in ancient times, when our ancestors were at every turn in danger. And they had to be ready for battle or flight any minute. At the moment when the sympathetic nervous system is activated, the person's blood pressure, body temperature, and heart rate increase sharply. As a consequence, there is a strong and intense sweating. As a rule, this phenomenon occurs when there is a lot of stress, anxiety, nervous tension, fright. Although it is not necessary: in some cases - if the sympathetic function of the central nervous system is disrupted - this can happen without any prerequisites. In addition, sometimes there are cases where the hyperhidrosis of the armpits is a kind of reflex. Having once noticed wet armpits and connected it with any stressful situation, a person begins to expect a repetition at any excitement. And, as a result, profuse sweating does not make you wait. It turns out a kind of vicious circle, which, in time, becomes harder and harder to break. However, the nervous system is not the only reason for excessive sweating. Although, for the sake of justice, it should be noted that in most cases it is she who prevails. Doctors distinguish many other causes of excessive sweating:
- Diseases of the endocrine system
Such diseases include diabetes mellitus andall kinds of dysfunctions of the thyroid gland. In such cases, sweating is especially strong, including at night. In no case should you delay a visit to the doctor, as these diseases are very serious and treatment should be started as soon as possible. Until the underlying disease is eliminated or at least controlled, it will not be possible to get rid of excessive sweating in any way.
- Violation of the hormonal background
In the event that the armpits began to perspire stronglyteenagers, expectant mothers or women during menopause, the most likely reason is the change in the hormonal background of the body. A similar phenomenon in 90% of all cases leads to profuse sweating. Of course, adolescents and expectant mothers will have to wait a while, because they are not allowed to have any pharmacological drugs. But women in the climacteric often need special hormone therapy. A doctor-endocrinologist will send a woman to a laboratory blood test, which will determine the level of hormones. If necessary, the doctor will prescribe medications that contain the hormone progesterone. As a rule, it is the lack of this hormone that leads to increased sweating.
- Choosing clothes
How trivial it may sound, but in somecases, the main reason for excessive sweating is the wrong choice of clothing. Try to abandon any synthetic fabrics, and not only in hot weather. Of course, in the summer it is worth giving preference to cotton fabrics, but in winter, do not forget about natural fabrics - the skin should be "breathed" at any time of the year. Do not believe me? Try it yourself - in just a few days you will notice a positive trend. Sweating, if not completely disappears, it will become much less.
- Human nutrition
Do not overlook the dietrights. If you are prone to severe perspiration, be sure to revise your menu. It is necessary to try to completely exclude or at least minimize the use of spicy products and spicy seasonings. They get into the body, lead to a strong sweating. The same is true for alcoholic and caffeinated drinks - they must be abandoned at least during the hot season. These are the reasons most often lead to profuse sweating. And first of all it is necessary to exclude them.
