Excessive sweating - a problem familiar to so many people. Someone sweaty palms or feet, but in most cases we have to deal with excessive sweating armpits is. This phenomenon brings a lot of hassle. Judge for yourself - a very unpleasant smell, the constant damp spots and stains on clothes, spots that is extremely difficult to wash out.
In addition, there is a strong psychological discomfort - it is very difficult to communicate with people, knowing that you have, as always, wet armpits. Sometimes, the problem takes on a more global scale - a man almost completely refuses to communicate, closed in itself. And often the problem is greatly exaggerated by the same patient.
Causes severe sweating
Why sick? Because excessive sweating, medicine, bears the name of hyperhidrosis, in most cases, it is a testament to disrupt the normal functioning of the sympathetic part of the central nervous system. This department of the nervous system responsible for activation of the body in a variety of stressful situations. Especially actually it was in ancient times, when our ancestors everywhere in danger. And they had to be ready to fight or flee at any moment.
At a time when there is an activation of the sympathetic nervous system in humans dramatically increases blood pressure, body temperature, heartbeat quickens. As a consequence, there is a strong and intense sweating. As a rule, a similar phenomenon occurs with severe stress, emotions, nervous tension, fear. Although not necessary in some cases - if the function is impaired sympathetic part of the central nervous system - this can happen, and without any preconditions.
In addition, sometimes there are cases when the underarm hyperhidrosis is a kind of reflex. Once noticed a wet armpits and tied it with a stressful situation, a person begins to expect a repeat for any excitement. And as a result, excessive sweating can wait no longer. It turns out a kind of vicious circle, break which eventually become more and more difficult.
However, the nervous system - is not the only cause of excessive sweating. Although, in fairness, it should be noted that in most cases it is prevalent. Doctors distinguish many other causes of excessive sweating:
Examples of these diseases include diabetes and all sorts of dysfunction of the thyroid gland. In such cases, a particularly strong sweating, including nighttime. In no case should not delay the visit to the doctor, as these are very serious diseases and treatment should begin as soon as possible. Until then, until it is eliminated, or at least brought under control the underlying disease, to get rid of excessive sweating can not be in any way.
In the event that began the armpit sweat strongly in adolescents, expectant mothers or women during menopause, most likely reason is the hormonal changes of the body. A similar phenomenon in 90% of cases leads to excessive sweating. Of course, teens and expectant mothers have to be patient for a while, as they are counter any pharmacological agents.
But women who are in menopause, often require special hormone therapy. Endocrinologist send a woman to the laboratory blood tests that will determine the level of hormones. If necessary, the doctor will prescribe medicines that contain the hormone progesterone. Typically, it is the lack of this hormone also leads to excessive sweating.
As corny as it may sound, but in some cases the main cause of excessive sweating is the wrong choice of clothing. Try to refrain from any synthetic fabric, and not only in hot weather. Of course, in the summer should give preference to cotton fabrics, but also in the winter do not forget the natural tissue - skin needs to "breathe" at any time of the year. Do not believe? Try it yourself - just a few days you will notice a positive trend. Sweating if not completely disappear, it will be much less.
