There are certain reasons why men have sweaty palms. We need to understand some knowledge about the male body so that we can help ourselves solve the problem. So why do men have sweaty palms? Let's take a look at the experts' suggestions below, hoping to help every man.

Sweating palms, also known as hyperhidrosis of the hands, is a very common functional local hyperhidrosis of unknown cause. Due to racial peculiarities, young people who grow up in subtropical areas are particularly prone to this problem. The secretion of sweat glands is controlled by the sympathetic nerves, and hyperhidrosis of the hands is caused by excessive tension of the sympathetic nerves for unknown reasons, such as tension, excitement, stress or high temperatures in summer, which causes abnormal increase in sweating of the palms. Surveys show that the incidence rate is about 0.3% in young people aged 10 to 30, regardless of gender, and the family history is as high as 13% (family hereditary). Most people suffer from hyperhidrosis of the hands since childhood, and it becomes more serious during adolescence. Patients with hyperhidrosis of the hands are healthy and normal except for sweating of the hands. Most of them also have excessive sweating on the soles of the feet or under the armpits, and a few patients also have body odor.

Sweating in your hands is different from sweating in other parts of your body:

Other parts of the body sweat because of heat, and the hotter it is, the more you sweat.

People with sweaty hands often have cold sweat on their palms without sweating on their bodies. Some people sweat more in winter. Sweating palms are a sign of a weak constitution.

Partial sweating

Commonly known as "half-body sweat". It occurs on the left or right side, upper or lower body. It is caused by wind phlegm or wind dampness blocking the meridians, or insufficient nutrition and defense, or disharmony of qi and blood. It is more common in patients with wind dampness or hemiplegia. If the elderly sweat halfway, it may be a precursor to stroke.

Cold sweat

Refers to sweating due to chills and cold limbs. There is no fever or thirst before sweating, and it is often accompanied by symptoms of cold syndrome such as lack of energy, pale complexion, loose stools, clear and long urine, slow pulse, and pale tongue. It is mostly caused by Yang deficiency and insufficient Wei Qi, but can also be caused by fright.

There are several different ways to sweat:

Spontaneous sweating

Spontaneous sweating is not caused by taking diaphoretic drugs or other stimulants due to hot weather. Spontaneous sweating is mostly caused by weak lung qi, weak Wei Yang, and fluid leakage, so it is often accompanied by symptoms of Yang deficiency such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and chills. It is more common in children with rickets and patients with hyperthyroidism.

Sweat stealing

Sweating occurs when falling asleep and stops after waking up. Sweating is mostly caused by Yin deficiency. Yin deficiency leads to Yang hyperactivity. Yin cannot control Yang, and body fluids follow the fluids to form sweat. Therefore, it is often accompanied by symptoms such as five-heart heat, insomnia, and dry mouth and throat. It is common in patients with infiltrative stage of pulmonary tuberculosis.

War sweat

That is, sweating after shivering all over the body is a manifestation of the struggle between the body and the evil in the process of febrile disease. If the fever subsides after sweating, the pulse is calm and the body is cool, it means that the evil has gone and the body is at peace, and the vitality has recovered, which is a good phenomenon. If the limbs are cold and the person is restless after sweating, it means that the body cannot overcome the evil and the body's energy is weakening, which is a critical symptom. Sweating is common in the early and middle stages of various infectious diseases.

Sweating

It refers to a critical condition, when the vital energy is weak and the yang energy is about to be lost. The patient sweats profusely and is often accompanied by rapid breathing, cold limbs, weak pulse, and other critical symptoms that come and go. It is a sign that the yang energy is about to be exhausted and is more common in patients with heart failure and asthenia.

Head sweat

Sweating is limited to the head. It is mostly caused by pathogenic heat in the upper Jiao, or damp heat in the middle Jiao, and is more common in Yangming heat syndrome and damp heat syndrome. If it occurs after a serious illness, or in elderly people with shortness of breath and sweating on the forehead, it is mostly a deficiency syndrome. If there is sudden heavy sweating on the forehead at the end of a serious illness, it is a dangerous sign of deficiency yin rising, yin deficiency cannot attach to yang, and yin fluid is lost with qi. However, children often sweat on their heads when they sleep. If there are no other symptoms, it is not a sign of illness.
