What causes women to sweat excessively?

We usually sweat when the weather is hot or when we do strenuous exercise, but some women experience abnormal sweating. Even without interference from external factors, the body will sweat a lot. At this point it can no longer be considered normal sweating, it is most likely a sign of some disease, so what factors could be causing it? Let’s take a look at the analysis made by the editor.

1. Hypoglycemia: There are many causes of hypoglycemia, the main manifestation of which is sympathetic nerve overexcitation. When an attack occurs, the sudden drop in blood sugar stimulates the sympathetic nerve excitement. The release of large amounts of adrenaline can cause the patient to become pale, sweat coldly, and have tremors in the hands and feet.

2. Diabetes: Diabetes is often accompanied by autonomic dysfunction, which often leads to abnormal increase in sweating. However, the patient also has "three mores and one less": that is, "eating more, drinking more, urinating more and losing weight." The diagnosis is usually not difficult to make through blood sugar and urine sugar tests.

3. Hyperthyroidism means overactive thyroid gland. Heat intolerance and excessive sweating are one of the characteristics of this disease. It also manifests itself in symptoms such as mental tension, personality changes, irritability, inability to concentrate, and difficulty falling asleep. In addition, people with hyperthyroidism have an increased appetite and eat more, but they become thinner. In hyperthyroidism, gastrointestinal function is enhanced, and most patients have increased frequency of bowel movements, as well as symptoms of palpitations and decreased work efficiency.

4. Pheochromocytoma A common symptom of pheochromocytoma is profuse sweating. The sweating is paroxysmal and sometimes continuous. However, facial flushing or blanching may occur at the same time during paroxysmal attacks. There may also be symptoms such as palpitations, trembling hands, and cold limbs. However, the onset of this disease is often accompanied by a significant increase in blood pressure and the resulting headache symptoms.

The diseases mentioned by the editor all have the clinical reaction of excessive sweating, so women who usually have this abnormal symptom must pay attention to it immediately and ask the doctor to examine the body in detail. Because excessive sweating will cause a large amount of water and salt to be lost, you should pay attention to drinking more boiled water or some light salt water to replenish them.
