What is the cause of excessive sweating of the hands and feet?

Have you ever had this situation regardless of the summer heat, or cold, the palms of the hands are always sweaty, wet and cold, and sometimes dripping beads of sweat, more serious when emotional tension. Often in writing the paper blotting wet, typing the keyboard dripping wet, more afraid to shake hands with others. When making a report at a meeting, when meeting a stranger, when meeting an acquaintance leader, when nervous and excited, when exercising, when meeting the opposite sex, when talking about sensitive topics, the palms of the hands always sweat a lot, creating a bad impression.

The first reason is that some systemic diseases, such as thyroid resistance, diabetes and some obesity, some diseases of the central system, can also cause hand sweating so much, another major reason is that the sympathetic nerve that controls hand sweating its functional resistance can also cause increased hand sweating.

Although hand sweating is not a health hazard, many patients are in a state of “panic” every day. Patients usually have to carry handkerchiefs and tissues with them at all times to keep an eye on their sweaty hands, and in severe cases, they are afraid to shake hands with others.

According to the degree of hand sweating, hand sweating is classified into three levels: Mild: no dripping or flowing, no obvious discomfort, and no need to change clothes within a day.

Moderate: dripping and flowing with obvious discomfort tolerable for one day without changing clothes.

Severe: dripping, serious discomfort, unbearable, need to change clothes or change clothes several times a day. Hand sweating is not a very serious disease, it is only caused by excessive sympathetic hyperactivity. Minimally invasive surgery with fluoroscopic ETS is an effective way to treat hand sweating, thus suppressing the overexcited sympathetic nerves in order to achieve treatment. In addition, there are no studies that show that hand sweating improves with age, and without surgical treatment, hand sweating tends to persist.
