News India Live, Digital Desk: Hyperhidrosis: Sweating is a common and healthy process in summer or during exercise. This is a natural way to control our body temperature. But some people sweat too much without any special reason, even sitting in cold weather or AC. This situation not only causes embarrassment, but can also be a sign of an internal health problem. If you are also troubled by the problem of sweating, do not make the mistake of ignoring it. Let us know about the 4 main reasons that can cause excessive sweating from the body. Genetics (family causes) often inherit us the problem of excessive sweating. If someone in your parents or family has hyperhidrosis ie excessive sweating disease, then it is very possible that you also have this problem. In this, sweat glands become excessively active and start sweating without any trigger. Stress and anxiety (stress and anxiety) When you are very concerned about stress, nervousness or something, the level of stress hormones like ‘cortisol’ and ‘adrenaline’ in your body increases. These hormones activate the body’s ‘fight or flight’ response, which makes the heartbeat intensifies and sweats more to keep the body cool. If you often sweat with restlessness or nervousness, it may be a sign of anxiety. 3. Obesity, people who have more weight, have to work hard to do normal work. A layer of fat in the body acts like an insulator, which prevents the body’s heat from coming out. Because of this, the body temperature rises quickly and to cool it, the sweat glands have to work more, which also causes sweat. 4. Drugs taken for the treatment of certain diseases can also cause excessive sweating to the side effects of some medicines. Antidepressant, some diabetes medicines, or hormonal therapy medications can cause sweat glands to be very active. If you have a problem of excessive sweating after starting a new medicine, then you must talk to your doctor about it. Apart from these, sweating can also be more due to menopause, thyroid problem or any kind of infection in the body. If you have this problem for a long time and have been affecting your everyday life, then consulting a doctor is the best step.
