Every time she sees a boy she likes, Wang’s palms will sweat furiously. She wondered if she had the legendary love disease, as described in the “love syndrome”. The doctor said that the sweaty palms are indeed a disease, called “hand sweat”, but not much to do with love, is due to excessive sympathetic nerve hyperactivity. Yesterday, Ningbo’s first hand sweat clinic opened in the city’s second hospital. The first of these is the one that is not only a good idea, but also a good idea. This problem has been in her childhood, a nervous hand sweat, but the hands and feet are always cold cold cold. Wang ate enough suffering from sweaty hands. The love affair is not to mention, also suffer at work. Wang did a period of time at the bank counter, the need to write documents frequently. But because of sweaty hands, often only to write half, the bill has been wet with sweat. More exaggerated is, because sweating is too much, Wang even a handprint can not be covered. The cause: sympathetic nerve regulation malfunction The second hospital in Ningbo, said Dr. Zhao Guofang, chief physician, this is called hand sweating, he has encountered many such patients over the years. Dr. Zhao said that there are actually not a few people suffering from hand sweating, and the incidence is estimated to be 0.3% among Ningbo people, and the chances are about the same for men or women. It is particularly prevalent among young people. Most of the patients have symptoms since childhood, and they become more serious in adolescence. Dr. Zhao has encountered many teenage students with the condition. Students who suffer from hand sweating often fail to complete their exams – often halfway through answering questions, the papers are already soaked. Some students can only answer the questions with a dry towel. Dr. Zhao said that hand sweating is actually the result of excessive sympathetic hyperactivity. Under normal circumstances, the sympathetic nerve regulates the body temperature by controlling sweating and heat dissipation, while patients with hand sweating disorder due to this regulatory mechanism, although on the surface “sweating like rain”, the actual limbs are cold. The first time the hand sweat clinic was approved at the second hospital yesterday, not many patients came. Dr. Zhao said that the main reason is that many patients are deeply troubled, but lack of understanding of hand sweating, and do not know which department to go to see the clinic. Some people think that hand sweating is due to tension, physical weakness, usually go to Chinese medicine, dermatology and so on, medical expenses spent a lot, but the symptoms have not been reduced. Dr. Zhao said, in general, occasional nervous hand sweating is a normal physiological reaction, but something is not normal hand sweating. The hand sweat is commonly sweaty hands, and can be accompanied by sweaty armpits, feet, head and face and other parts. Some patients have sweaty hands for a long time, hands will also peel, and some will get eczema dermatitis. Dr. Zhao introduced, to deal with hand sweating, only a ten-minute minimally invasive surgery, a day or two after the operation can be discharged. The solution is to surgically cut the sympathetic nerve chain located in the chest cavity, with immediate results.
