All people sweat is a normal function of the body. But there are situations when a person has excessive sweating. Why is this happening, and is there any way to deal with this problem?
Hyperhidrosis
Before studying why there is increased sweating (the causes of this disease), it is worth understanding the concept itself. After all, increased sweating is not a medical term. Doctors call this disease hyperhidrosis. What is it? This is just a violation of the function of sweating, for which there can be quite a few reasons. But first it is also worthwhile to understand that hyperhidrosis is local, i.e. local, limited, when this problem is observed in certain areas of the body, as well as diffuse, generalized, when the whole body has increased sweating. The reasons for this fact in such a situation is the presence of a more complex disease.
Differences
Before understanding the causes, it is worth noting that hyperhidrosis is facial, hyperhidrosis of the extremities(plantar, palmar, axillary), as well as neurological. The reasons for each are also different. The most common type is hyperhidrosis of the extremities. Why is there increased sweating in this case? The reasons may be an increased concentration of sweat glands. Also, such a phenomenon may be the result of nervous overstrain, a stressful situation, or simply an exciting moment. Increased sweating in such cases is observed after or during exercise or other stresses of the body. It is worth noting that this type of hyperhidrosis is more common in women than in men, and it manifests itself in the period from 15 to 30 years. And with facial hyperhidrosis, why is sweating increased? The reasons may be as follows:
- the reaction of the body to some products: coffee, chocolate, tea;
- damage to the salivary glands due to surgery or childbirth.
Neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, neurosyphilis can also cause excessive sweating.
Women
Why is there sometimes excessive sweating in women? The reasons may lie in such a purely female process in the body as menopause. It's all about changing the hormonal background, reducing the amount of estrogen, because of which the woman will constantly be thrown into a fever, causing profuse sweating. These are the tides. You can cope with them with the help of medications, as well as by slightly changing your diet and daily routine.
Night
There is also thisconcept as nocturnal hyperhidrosis. People suffering from this type of disease are often forced to change their clothes or sheets even in the middle of the night. Where does the increased sweating at night come from? The reasons may be as follows:
- chronic diseases of an infectious nature (for example, tuberculosis);
- apnea symptom, sleep disturbance;
- hormonal diseases;
- metabolic disorders in the human body;
- allergic diseases;
- autoimmune disorders, etc.
To solve the problem, it is best to consult a doctor, because he althy sleep is the key to the proper functioning of the human body throughout the day.
