Someone familiar with this problem only by hearsay, it is sometimes difficult to understand why excessive sweating is so worrying. After all, now there are many deodorants that block sweat for tens of hours. However, even specialized tools do not always help. You cannot apply them to the whole body, and in traditional places of application it is not necessary to constantly block the activity of the glands. It is better to find the causes of severe sweating and eliminate them, thereby bringing the amount of secretions back to normal.
What to look for
It matters where you have the most sweat. Some complain of sweating in their legs or palms; others struggle with wet spots under their armpits. Or maybe your whole body is sweating? Does sweat have a particularly unpleasant odor and do you feel chills or fever? Answers to these questions will help you identify the causes of excessive sweating.
Excessive sweating of the legs often indicates that you did not pay enough attention to their hygiene. The problem arises from the activity of fungi and bacteria. It is also worth changing shoes and socks, preferring natural materials to artificial.
Wet palms are most often seen in people prone to unrest, as well as in patients with heart problems.
When armpits suffer, we can confidently talk about problems in the endocrine system. Whether they are serious or not, they are judged by the nature of the sweat.
Do you notice that only at certain moments do you experience the most sweating? The reasons for it may lie in your lifestyle. It is noted that caffeine (mainly in black coffee), spicy foods, and alcohol can stimulate the work of sweat glands. If you smoke, you may also be afraid of increased sweat.
What to fear
The main cause of heavy sweating - the malfunctioning of the endocrine system - has many causes of its own. If along with sweating you experience weakness and apathy, you have skin problems, most likely it is time to cleanse the body of toxins. As you know, sweat itself is responsible for removing toxins, so you should not block the work of the glands with the help of deodorants in this situation. It is better to be in the shower more often and sprinkle the body with talcum powder.
If excessive sweating disturbs at night, at the same time you are thrown into a fever or chills, you should immediately consult a doctor. So the symptoms of a number of rather serious diseases are manifested: diabetes, tuberculosis, disorders in the work of the heart and liver, thyroid gland. But panic is not worth it, maybe you just recently suffered the flu or food poisoning, and the body has not yet returned to normal.
What else can be done
Sometimes it is not immediately possible to find out the causes of severe sweating. You should keep a diary and write down what you did, ate and even wore on certain days, what emotions you experienced, and whether there was a deterioration in well-being.
If you want to get rid of sweating yourself, you can turn to traditional medicine. A proven remedy against such a problem is sage broth.
