What causes men's feet to sweat?

Cold hands and feet and sweating are not a big problem, but they also have a great impact on patients, so once this happens, it is necessary to find out what causes it in time. The cold hands and feet and sweating in men are caused by physical weakness, such as spleen and stomach weakness, yin deficiency and blood heat, and then sympathetic nerve overexcitement. As long as the hands and feet are treated symptomatically, the cold sweat can be improved.

(I) Chinese medicine studies the causes of sweating hands and feet

Traditional Chinese medicine experts remind that excessive sweating in the hands and feet may be caused by spleen deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "all dampness and swelling belong to the spleen", and excessive sweating will occur when the spleen accumulates too much moisture. Normal people will excrete sweat to the outside of the body through organs such as the skin, but people with spleen deficiency will not be able to follow the normal path of moisture and will sweat through the hands, feet and other parts.

This is called abnormal metabolism and is the main reason for excessive foot sweating and foot odor. People with damp-heat constitution are also prone to excessive sweating of hands and feet, but the root cause of both is deficiency of heart and spleen, weak spleen qi or damp-heat obstruction.

1. Sweating of hands and feet caused by weak spleen and stomach

When we often eat greasy food or have irregular diet, it will cause liver fire and hurt the spleen and stomach, thus weakening the spleen and stomach. When the spleen and stomach function declines, it will cause dampness and heat to be unable to be discharged normally and accumulate in the body, thus causing sweating in your hands and feet.

2. Sweating of hands and feet caused by Yin deficiency and blood heat

Some people sweat in their hands and feet and also have dry mouth, hot hands and feet, dry stools, etc. This is due to yin deficiency and blood heat.

(II) Modern medicine proposes the causes of sweating hands and feet

Primary hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet is caused by excessive sympathetic nerve excitement, and 12% of patients have a genetic tendency. Many studies have shown that there is no obvious abnormality in the pathology of the sweat gland tissue of patients with hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet, and the sweat gland structure is not enlarged, and the number of sweat glands is not increased. Therefore, the pathogenesis of hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet is not on the sweat glands. Most scholars believe that hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet is a complex autonomic nervous system disorder phenomenon.

Other studies have shown that hand and foot hyperhidrosis is not only related to sympathetic nervous system excitability, but also to parasympathetic nervous system excitability, and research on the latter is extremely rare. Theoretical speculation believes that the pathogenesis of hand and foot hyperhidrosis is caused by thoracic sympathetic ganglion excitability and sexual hyperactivity.

In addition, some systemic diseases and central system diseases can also cause sweating of hands and feet, such as thyroid function resistance or diabetes.

Cold and sweaty hands and feet must be taken seriously. Frequent sweating of hands and feet often causes troubles in learning, work or socializing. Severe cases can also cause many diseases in the body. Therefore, cold and sweaty hands and feet must be taken seriously. You can see a Chinese medicine doctor and take medicine according to the doctor's advice. The symptoms will improve, but if you want to be completely cured, you must follow the doctor's advice and take medicine according to the course of treatment.
