What causes stress and postural hyperhidrosis?

summary

Stress and postural hyperhidrosis refers to the sweating reaction caused by the compression of one side of the body when the body position changes or lies on the side. It's a manifestation of hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is a disease caused by excessive secretion of sweat glands due to sympathetic hyperactivity. The sympathetic nerve innervates sweating throughout the body. Under normal circumstances, sympathetic nerve regulates body temperature by controlling sweating and heat dissipation. However, sweating and facial flushing of hyperhidrosis patients are completely out of control. Sweating and facial flushing make the patient feel helpless, anxious or panic every day.

What causes stress and postural hyperhidrosis?

Systemic hyperhidrosis can be an abnormal physiological reaction or one of the symptoms of some diseases such as hyperthyroidism and diabetes. Local hyperhidrosis may be due to sympathetic nerve injury or abnormal reaction, acetylcholine secretion increases, resulting in excessive sweat secretion of eccrine glands.

Hyperhidrosis can be roughly divided into three categories from the pathogenesis. One is caused by systemic diseases, such as endocrine disorders (hyperthyroidism, diabetes, pituitary hyperthyroidism, etc.), nervous system diseases, some infectious diseases (malaria, tuberculosis, etc.) and long-term illness. As long as these systemic diseases are controlled, sweating can be solved. The second is mental sweating, which is caused by high tension and emotional excitement, and is caused by sympathetic nerve disorder. Oral administration of some sedatives (such as atropine, prubensin, belladonna mixture, etc.) has a temporary effect, but there are side effects such as dry mouth. The third is taste sweating, which belongs to another physiological phenomenon, such as sweating caused by eating some irritating food (pepper, garlic, ginger, cocoa, coffee). Generally, there is no need to treat this kind of situation, just avoid eating.

Hyperhidrosis mainly refers to excessive sweat produced in many parts of eccrine glands, often involving armpit, palmoplantar and groin. The causes can be divided into nerve and non nerve. Nerve refers to the control of nerve reflex; In addition to local heat stimulation, non neurotic refers to the role of peripheral non neurotic factors - gland level excitatory response.

matters needing attention

There is no good measure, mainly to prevent related diseases. If there is a background of hereditary syndrome, preventive measures include genetic counseling, carrier gene testing, prenatal diagnosis and selective abortion to prevent the birth of children. Relax, pay attention to personal hygiene, take a bath frequently, change clothes frequently.
