There are two types of underarm hyperhidrosis: simple subcutaneous sweating and subcutaneous sweating accompanied by body odor. The cause of the disease is generally believed to be due to the imbalance of the body's autonomic nervous system, especially the abnormal secretion of sebaceous glands. Subcutaneous sweating accompanied by body odor is also called "bromhidrosis" in medicine. It occurs in both men and women, but more frequently in women. When the sweat under the armpits has an odor, the patient should actively cooperate with the doctor to describe the situation in detail according to the basic conditions, and undergo clinical examinations and some auxiliary tests to provide a reliable basis for diagnosis and future treatment. What causes underarm sweating? The average adult body has 3 to 4 million sebaceous glands, which produce 15 liters of sweat a day. Nearly 99% of sweat is water, which helps the body dissipate heat and regulate body temperature. The body's sweat is secreted through sweat glands and sebaceous glands respectively. The armpits belong to sweat glands. The sweat glands and sebaceous glands have different structures, and the sweat they secrete and excrete also has certain differences in composition and properties. The components of sweat secreted by sweat glands include: sugar, protein, pyruvate, iron, ammonia and lipids; while the components of sweat from sebaceous glands, except for a small amount of salt, are basically all water. Therefore, controlling the metabolism of the sebaceous glands under the armpits can also prevent the deterioration of sugars and proteins caused by bacteria, which can cause odor. Generally, sweating under the armpits is a normal physiological phenomenon, but if you sweat a lot, you need to consider whether there is a problem with some part of your body function. Excessive sweating under the armpits is medically known as "localized hyperhidrosis", which often occurs in young people with great mood swings. If women sweat a lot, it may be Qi deficiency, often accompanied by chest tightness, shortness of breath, fatigue, and dizziness. If you find that your armpit sweating is abnormal, it is best to go to the hospital to check the cause and take medication or treatment based on the doctor's diagnosis. Some friends sweat a lot under their armpits even in winter. Such excessive sweat secretion is not accidental, there are two main reasons: most of them are primary, without special reasons, the central nervous system of such patients reacts more significantly than others, the central nervous system controls the secretion of our sebaceous glands and the contraction of blood vessels, so we are anxious, hot, and sweat more than others in winter; in addition, some friends sweat a lot under their armpits, which may be caused by some diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, mental illness, menopausal syndrome, etc., or some endocrine treatments can also cause increased sweating. If sweating is accompanied by sweating, it does not eliminate the possibility of body odor. |
