What to do about sweaty palms and feet

Sweaty palms and feet may be caused by physiological factors such as hot weather and over-thickness of clothing, and generally do not require special treatment. It may also be caused by hyperthyroidism, perimenopausal syndrome and other diseases, which can be treated by general therapy and medication. 1. Physiological factors: If the weather is hot or the clothes are too thick, the heat in the body can’t be emitted in time, thus the phenomenon of sweaty palms and feet occurs. After reducing the clothes and adjusting the room temperature to a comfortable range, most of the symptoms can be improved on their own and no special treatment is needed. 2. Hyperthyroidism: When patients with hyperthyroidism have sweaty palms and feet, they need to take drugs such as methimazole tablets and propylthiouracil tablets under the guidance of a doctor to regulate thyroid hormones in the body, improve the phenomenon of sweaty palms and feet, and also keep the hands and feet clean and dry. 3. Perimenopausal syndrome: When perimenopausal syndrome patients have sweaty palms and feet, they can take estradiol drospirenone tablets, estradiol dydrogesterone tablets and other medications to regulate the level of estrogen and improve the phenomenon of excessive sweating. During the treatment, keep your mood relaxed and avoid anxiety. People with sweaty palms and feet are recommended to be admitted to hospital for examination and standardized treatment according to the cause after physiological factors are ruled out.
