Sweat is a barometer of health. Reminder: Four major diseases are often hidden behind love sweating.

Although it has not yet arrived in June, the weather is "warming up early". Xiao Jiu lives in the south. There is no rain these days, and the air pressure is low. Walking downstairs, sweating all over.

It is common that the weather is sultry and the body sweats, but sometimes it is puzzling that the body sweats a lot when it is obviously not moving.

A lot of sweating brings more or less troubles to life. Sometimes sleeping at night, sweating wet the back, making people sleepless at night, and even some sweating may be a signal of physical illness.

Our subcutaneous tissue is covered with sweat glands, which can help us balance the excessive temperature of the human body by expelling sweat. Normal sweating is generally affected by two external factors: weather and exercise.

First of all, when the outdoor temperature is higher than the human body temperature, especially when exposed to the hot sun, even if you walk outdoors, you will sweat and even your clothes will be soaked. Secondly, sweating during exercise is normal. Doing more exercise and sweating will help to expel toxins from the body, dredge meridians and activate bones and muscles.

All the above are normal sweating conditions. Even if you are sweating because of these two situations, don't worry too much.

If sweating is not caused by the above two factors, it belongs to abnormal sweating, which may indicate that there is something wrong with one's body.

Some people may ask: Is love sweating related to thyroid function?

The answer is: it has a certain relationship. Continuous sweating is probably a manifestation of overactive thyroid function. The thyroid gland is responsible for regulating energy production and secreting too much thyroid hormone, which may accelerate the metabolic function of human body and lead to love sweating's disease.

Of course, in addition to abnormal sweating caused by thyroid gland, the following four diseases will also have sweating performance:

Hypoglycemia: Experts from the British Diabetes Association say that when we eat, our bodies secrete insulin to regulate blood sugar. When hunger is unbearable, the blood sugar in the blood will stimulate the release of adrenaline, which will lead the human body to enter a stress mode and then sweat.

Nerve dysfunction: sweating caused by nerve dysfunction, the most representative of which is menopausal hot flashes. When entering menopause, when the hormone level drops, there will be unprovoked sweating unrelated to temperature and exercise, and patients always feel wet; It will get worse when the weather is hot, physical exercise or anxiety.

Sudden heart attack: In addition to sweating for no reason, patients will be accompanied by chest pain, which is probably an early warning signal of heart attack, an overreaction of vasovagal nerve, and a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure.

Side effects of drugs: Some drugs, such as antidepressants, xerostomia drugs, cold medicines, iron agents, antibiotics, etc., can also cause sweating if they are stopped suddenly.

Dr. Xia of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine said that sweat is the biochemical product of body fluid, which is the body fluid in the body. Sweat leaks to the muscle surface, and abnormal sweating is a health alarm. The following kinds of abnormal sweating are probably signals given by physical discomfort.

1. Night sweats

Under normal circumstances, when people sleep, their body temperature is low and they are generally not easy to sweat. Night sweats, on the other hand, always sweat for no reason when sleeping, and sweat wets your back. Night sweats are often accompanied by insomnia, dry mouth, dry stool and other symptoms, so night sweats are mostly caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire.

2. Sweat stinking

Sweat has a special fishy smell, which may be related to heat syndrome or damp-heat syndrome, generally belonging to liver heat or more common in liver cirrhosis.

3. Colored sweat

Sweat should be a colorless liquid. If there is color, it may be caused by a chemical reaction produced by the fusion of microorganisms and sweat. Such as yellow sweat, is caused by high bilirubin concentration in blood, mainly seen in hepatobiliary diseases; White sweat is mostly caused by heart-lung yang deficiency; Red sweat is mostly related to endocrine dysfunction, or it may be bleeding in a certain part of the body; Green sweat may be related to bile leakage, such as acute suppurative cholangitis.

4. spontaneous sweating

Spontaneous sweating means sweating even when you sit still, especially when you blow air conditioning in the office, and your body is still sweating. Traditional Chinese medicine seems to be "qi consolidating exterior", which means qi deficiency, loss of traction and poor sweating, which is what we often call "asthenic sweating". The cause of sweating mainly lies in the heart and lungs. Those who suffer from spontaneous sweating due to qi deficiency should exercise moderately and keep warm alternately in four seasons. Typhoid cold is not good for spontaneous sweating.

5. Sweaty hands and feet

When people are nervous, fidgety and anxious, their palms will sweat, but with the emotional calm, sweating will disappear, which is normal. However, some people always sweat a lot in their palms under any circumstances, which is probably a sign of palmar hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach is caused by excessive sweating in the palms, if accompanied by loss of appetite, heavy sleepiness, yellow urine and yellow greasy tongue coating.

Director Yang of the First Hospital of Peking University said that sweating is a way for human body to regulate body temperature, and normal sweating does not need treatment, but if sweating is caused by hyperhidrosis, the cause of hyperhidrosis should be found first.

Hyperhidrosis can be divided into primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis is common, which is not only affected by emotional changes such as nervousness and excitement, but also related to heredity. Its relief method is to avoid nervousness, anxiety and other emotions, and take anti-anxiety drugs orally when necessary; Use over-the-counter antiperspirant products containing alum, aluminum tetrachloride and other ingredients; In severe cases, oral anticholinergic drugs can be taken according to the doctor's advice.

Secondary abnormal sweating is a condition of night sweats and spontaneous sweating caused by diseases. Treatment should first check whether there is hyperthyroidism, diabetes, endocrine diseases and other causes of sweating, and then treat according to the symptoms of patients.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hyperhidrosis of hands and feet is caused by spleen deficiency disorder, which is mainly divided into two types: hyperhidrosis caused by people with weak spleen and stomach, and foods such as bitter gourd, coix seed and yam can be used to strengthen the spleen and stomach on weekdays; Patients with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should pay attention to a light diet, less oil and salt, and eat some foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach in moderation.

Proper physical exercise is also helpful to prevent and improve abnormal sweating, but attention should be paid to avoiding excessive strenuous exercise. Of course, if you find that abnormal sweating is getting worse, you should seek medical advice in time, find out the reason and stop sweating. # Breeze Plan # # Rumor Zero Plan # #39 Health Super Group #
