Can people with high blood lipids undergo sauna therapy?
Disease description:
My neighbor has hyperlipidemia and really wants to do a sauna these days. Can people with high lipid levels use a sauna?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Hyperlipidemia patients are generally advised against sauna or steam therapy. Due to their naturally higher blood viscosity, excessive sweating during steam treatments may lead to significant fluid loss, further increasing blood viscosity and potentially causing complications such as fainting in individuals with hyperlipidemia.
