Causes Of Excessive
Sweating
Ever wonder even if you just moved a little of even
if you haven’t done any exercise at all or you don’t even feel hot at
all, your skin sweats profusely like your pores’ a well-spring of sweat
that unstoppably overflows?
Knowing the cause is a key to finding solutions and cure for
you problem. You may have an illness called hyperhidrosis. There are
many causes of excessive sweating or factors that contribute in having
such illness.
-
Genes. Doctors say that one of the causes of
excessive sweating is heredity. If someone in the family or there’s
a history of excessive perspiration in some members and relatives of
the family, then you are likely to develop or acquire the same
problem.
-
Exercise and laborious activities. In performing
strenuous tasks, the body gets under pressure; it heats up and
releases this heat through sweating. A person who does manual labor
and engages in an exercise routine tends to sweat more than people
who does office work. However, this should not discourage you from
doing those things because they can improve your health. Excessive
sweating at work doesn’t mean you already have an illness.
-
Hot weather or Summer Seasons. Of course, a hot
environment increases the body temperature which induces our glands
to sweat excessively. Sweating is the body’s reflex to cool itself
down when the temperature’s too hot.
-
Biological Changes Such as stages of Puberty and
menopause. You would notice that teenagers tend to sweat more
compared to those who are younger and older people. The only reason
to prove this medical fact is because the body is exposed to a lot
of changes physically, psychologically and emotionally as a
preparation for adulthood. Furthermore, women going through the
menopausal stage are also prone to excessive sweating. It also
triggers sweating because of bodily changes.
-
Reaction to Foods. Did you know that some foods
cause the body to sweat more than the normal tendencies? What you
eat can be the main cause of excessive sweating that you suffer
from. Hot and spicy foods are one of these. If you can avoid these
kinds of food or just try to lessen the amount of it that you eat,
it can help you improve your condition.
-
Obesity. If ever you noticed, people who are
obese actually sweat a lot more than those with normal body size.
The fatter you are, the more unwanted minerals you have in your
body. Because of this, the sweat glands are pressured to work harder
to release all these. Fat people are more likely to develop the
illness of excessive perspiration.
-
Abnormal Functions of the Brain. The brain
controls every activity in the body. The hypothalamus is a part of
the brain that manages hunger and thirst. It takes charge in
maintaining a level of body temperature that allows normal flo0w of
the processes and mechanisms in the body. More importantly, it
controls sweating. An abnormality in the function of the brain due
to disease, damage and infections affects the sensory responses and
is a cause of excessive sweating. If for example, the brain thinks
that the temperature goes up, it will give a command to the glands
to sweat. Disturbance in the brain could also be because of
emotional struggles. Depression, anxiety and stress affect the
mental processes and results to heavy perspiration.
-
Abnormality in the Nerves. Nerves act as
messengers of the body receiving stimuli to the brain which will act
upon that stimulus. If the nerves fail to perform its function, the
brain may receive a wrong signal and lead to a wrong command of
perspiration.
-
Abnormal Functions of the Spinal Cord. The
nervous system controls the sweating process in the body. Being a
major part of it, damage to the spinal cord such as syringomyelia
and tumors can be one of the causes of excessive sweating.
