Hand sweating is a common condition of functional localized abnormal sweating of unknown origin and is a congenital disorder. Human sweat gland secretion is controlled by sympathetic nerves, which normally control sweating to dissipate heat and regulate body temperature, whereas sweating in patients with hand sweating disorder is completely out of sympathetic control.
The cause of hand sweating remains unclear. Anatomically speaking, it is caused by sympathetic excitation and excessive local sweat gland secretion, such as tension, excitement, stress or high summer temperatures, which can cause abnormal palm sweating. The degree of sweating in the palms of ordinary people may be a “flood” in the hands of people with hand sweating disorder.
There are two types of hand sweating disorders: primary and secondary. Primary hand sweating refers to sweaty palms that occur in the absence of obvious organic pathology, and most hand sweating is primary. Secondary hand sweating is usually caused by other diseases, such as hyperthyroidism and endocrine disorders. The prevalence of primary hand sweating among our adolescents ranges from about 3% to 4.5%.
There are mild and severe hand sweats. In mild cases, the palms of the hands are slightly moist, in moderate cases, the sweat can soak a handkerchief, and in severe cases, the sweat on the hands drips down. These symptoms of hand sweating occur symmetrically on both hands and can occur in any season, and can worsen under conditions such as anxiety, fear and stress.
Hand sweating, unlike other diseases, not only gets worse because of untimely treatment, it also causes more psychological damage and even depression in severe cases. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this.
