Why do you keep sweating?

There are many sweat glands distributed all over the human body, and these sweat glands of various sizes mainly exist to promote sweating. Sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon in the human body, so when sweating occurs, don't worry too much. However, if you sweat frequently and even when the weather is not very hot, you should consider whether it is caused by disease. So today's article will introduce to you the causes of constant sweating.

Sweating is the most common physiological phenomenon in our daily life. Some people in life have a wrong view on sweating. They think that sweating can play a great role in detoxification. In fact, our body does not have so many toxins. The body is still very strong. Our body has multiple protective barriers such as the respiratory system and skin. Generally speaking, it can completely block external pathogens. The main component of sweat is water, nearly 99% of which is water, and the rest is some minerals and urea nitrogen, etc., which is different from what everyone thinks of detoxification. Therefore, sweating a lot does not mean that the body is detoxifying.

Why do I always sweat a lot?

Sweating all the time is both a normal and an abnormal phenomenon. The normal phenomenon is that when we eat, there are many sensory organs on our tongue, and when we sense the food, we will increase the amount of sweating, especially when we eat very hot and very irritating food, it is easier to increase the amount of sweating. If we are under a strong state of stress or in a negative mood, we will sweat because of our mental state at the time. Another situation is that a certain part of the body sweats, such as the palms and soles of the feet. These phenomena may cause sweating due to genetics or temperature.

If you are in any of the situations mentioned above, don't worry too much. These are all very normal physiological manifestations. What you need to pay attention to is that the following types of sweating may be signals sent to you by your body.

The amount of sweating in the body increases significantly, so be alert to blood sugar fluctuations:

If you are a diabetic, you need to pay more attention to your sweating. In addition to some external factors, if your sweating suddenly increases significantly while eating, there may be a problem with your pancreas. This is because after eating a large amount, the pancreas will secrete a variety of digestive enzymes. If it is obstructed or affected by other factors, it will affect the secretion of insulin, causing blood sugar abnormalities, which in turn will easily lead to increased sweating, accompanied by palpitations, dizziness, and fatigue. These symptoms all indicate that blood sugar has fluctuated significantly, and you need to go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid complications of diabetes.

If the amount of sweating increases significantly, be alert to hyperthyroidism:

Hyperthyroidism means that the thyroid gland is overactive. If there is an abnormality in the thyroid gland and too much thyroid hormone appears during the synthesis and release process, the sympathetic nerves will be in an excited state, which may lead to excessive sweating. At the same time, there will be palpitations, heat intolerance, etc. These are all precursors to hyperthyroidism and you need to go to the hospital for examination in time.

The amount of sweating in the body increases significantly, so be alert to night sweats:

If the amount of sweating increases significantly when you sleep at night, and in severe cases, even the clothes you wear are soaked, in addition to the influence of the external environment, you should pay attention to sweating as a disease and never ignore it.
