Do women's feet sweat easily? There are these reasons

In life, many women often have sweaty feet. This phenomenon has a great impact on women's lives, but if the cause is not clear, it is difficult to "prescribe the right medicine". So what are the specific reasons for women's sweaty feet?

What causes sweaty feet?

Some people sweat a lot on their feet after walking or running a lot, and the sweat soaks their shoes and socks, which is very uncomfortable. There are roughly the following reasons for excessive foot sweating: some people have more sweat glands on their feet and sweat a lot, which is often related to genetic factors. Some of the nerves that control the sweat glands on the feet are rich and sensitive. The nerves that control the sweat glands are distributed on the sympathetic nerves on the skin. Whenever you walk, run, or even when you are nervous or emotionally excited, the sympathetic nerves are in a highly excited state, and the sweat glands secrete a large amount of sweat. Others are caused by wearing rubber shoes that are not breathable, which prevents the sweat from evaporating and dissipating in time.

What to eat when your feet sweat

1. Oral administration of drugs that regulate autonomic nervous system function (such as oryzanol, etc.);

2. Keep your hands and feet clean and dry;

3. Topical drug treatment: such as applying 5% formaldehyde solution (formalin solution) externally, twice a day; or soaking in 1% formaldehyde solution, 0.5% lead acetate solution, 5% alum solution or 5% tannic acid solution, each time for about 10 minutes, once a day. It can astringe sweat glands. Although this method has fewer side effects, the treatment effect is often not very good, let alone a complete cure;

4. Lumbar sympathectomy can specifically treat sweaty feet, but because the surgical site is on the waist, it is very difficult and has many side effects, so it is rarely used. Thoracic sympathectomy can also treat sweaty feet, but the effect is not as miraculous as that of excessive sweating of hands;

5. Traditional Chinese Medicine and Folk Prescriptions:

① 600 grams of fresh white radish (sliced), 15 grams of alum. Add 2500 ml of water, boil for 30-40 minutes, remove the residue and take the juice, wait until the temperature is suitable, soak your hands and feet for 20 minutes, and wash them twice a day. 80 cases were treated, and significant effects were generally seen after 3-5 days of treatment.

② Soak your hands and feet in hot water for 5-10 minutes every day. You can put some salt in the hot water for better results, but be careful not to make the water temperature too high to avoid burns.

③ Grind 30 grams of calcined dragon bone and 10 grams of alum into powder. Rub your hands and feet with the powder after washing them every time. 1-2 times a day.

④ 10 grams of alum, 30 grams of Sophora flavescens, and 6 grams of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, decocted in water and used for external washing, once a day, each dose can be used for 3 consecutive days. Or you can soak the above medicine directly in 250 ml of vinegar for half a day, then add 500 ml, soak your hands and feet after warming. It can be used for 3 consecutive days.
