Why do men sweat?

Some men love to sweat since they were young, especially after doing some physical work or exercising. They always sweat more than others. After going to the hospital for examination, no problem was found. The reasons for men's sweating can be divided into two categories: pathological and physiological. Physiological reasons, such as sweating a lot when exercising with high intensity or in hot weather. Pathological sweating may be caused by physical weakness and insufficient lung qi.

1. Reasons why men sweat

1. If you sweat more only after exercise and don't know if you sweat when you sleep, it's normal if you don't. The secretion of sweat glands is closely related to the intensity of exercise: the general rule is that the greater the intensity of exercise, the more sweat you produce. Because as the intensity of exercise increases, muscle activity becomes more intense and more heat is produced. In order to maintain normal body temperature, the human body must increase the amount of sweat to dissipate the excess heat. Therefore, the greater the intensity of exercise, the more sweat you will inevitably produce.

2. Sweating can be divided into two types: pathological and physiological. Sweating in hot weather, heavy sweating, and sweating during heavy exercise are physiological phenomena. Sweating due to pathological reasons can be divided into two types: one is occult sweating, which occurs during sleep at night, and the other is spontaneous sweating, which occurs during the day. Spontaneous sweating is generally believed to be caused by physical weakness, insufficient lung qi, weak Wei Yang, or kidney Yin deficiency. If spontaneous sweating is more serious, it is recommended to go to a local hospital and ask an experienced Chinese medicine doctor to diagnose and treat you. Use medication according to the symptoms, and do not use medication blindly. Pay attention not to stay up late. Live a regular life, exercise appropriately, and do not eat cold, raw, spicy, or other irritating foods.

3. Some men may sweat excessively due to mental factors, such as mental tension, emotional excitement, anger, fear and anxiety, which are caused by the sympathetic nervous system dysfunction that controls sweat secretion. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, change clothes and bedding frequently, keep the skin clean and dry, wipe sweat with a soft dry towel or gauze, and do not use a wet cold towel to avoid cold.

2. Things to note when men sweat

Sweat contains a lot of trace elements such as salt and calcium. After sweating a lot, you should pay attention to replenishing them to prevent symptoms such as low blood calcium after sweating. For example, eat more calcium-containing foods such as milk, dairy products, fish, seafood and green leafy vegetables. In addition, you should also increase the content of vitamin D in your body.

3. What is the problem of men sweating on their waist?

Kidney deficiency generally refers to the deficiency of kidney essence, qi, yin and yang. There are many types of kidney deficiency, the most common of which are kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. The most basic symptoms of kidney yang deficiency are backache, cold limbs, chills, and even edema. However, the symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are also accompanied by backache, dryness, sweating, sweating, dizziness, tinnitus, etc. If the waist sweats a lot and the waist is sore, it is generally kidney yin deficiency.
