Introduction
In general, excessive sweating in the armpits can be treated through general management, physical therapy, medication, and other methods. If a large amount of physical exercise is performed, it may lead to excess body heat, which the body releases through sweating, resulting in frequent perspiration. It is recommended to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and promptly wipe away sweat with a towel after sweating.
In general, excessive sweating in the armpits can be treated through general management, physical therapy, medication, and other methods. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. General Management
Engaging in intense physical exercise may lead to excess body heat, which the body dissipates through sweating, resulting in frequent perspiration. It is recommended to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, promptly wipe sweat with a towel after sweating, and keep the underarms clean and dry.
2. Physical Therapy
If patients frequently use hair removal creams, it may cause follicular hyperplasia and enlargement, increasing sweat secretion and leading to excessive sweating. It is recommended that patients visit a qualified medical institution where, under the guidance of a professional physician, treatments such as high-frequency electroacupuncture or microwave radiofrequency can be used to destroy sweat glands and suppress sweat production.
3. Medication
If a person remains in prolonged states of tension, anxiety, or other negative emotions, it may cause autonomic nervous system dysfunction and overactive sweat glands, resulting in frequent underarm sweating. Patients are advised to take medications such as Xuhan Ting Capsules or Zhibai Dihuang Pills under a doctor's supervision.
Besides the above treatments, surgical options are also available.
