Why do teenagers sweat on their palms?

Sweating palms is quite common among teenagers, and there are many causes, such as being nervous or afraid. Such psychological emotions often cause conditioned reflexes, leading to sweating palms. In addition, teenagers have a relatively fast metabolism and sweat secretion is often more vigorous, which is also an important cause of sweating palms. If you sweat a lot, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Why do teenagers sweat on their palms?

1. Hyperhidrosis of the hands refers to a syndrome caused by abnormal excitement of the sympathetic nerves, which causes the hands to sweat easily, often accompanied by excessive sweating in the armpits and soles of the feet.

2. Hyperhidrosis of the hands is common in teenagers, the incidence rate is not low, and there is a certain genetic tendency

3. Sweat is secreted by sweat glands, and the sweat glands on the palms are controlled by the thoracic sympathetic nerves. When the thoracic sympathetic nerves are abnormally excited, the sweat glands secrete more sweat.

4. Organic diseases, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, hypertension, congestive heart failure, hemiplegia, spinal trauma, tumors, tuberculosis, etc., can cause abnormal sweating

5. Some hyperhidrosis is caused by functional disorders. Emotions such as mental tension, excitement, fear, anxiety, pain, anger, etc. can cause increased sweating. Hyperhidrosis caused by this reason will generally disappear or decrease as the emotions stabilize.

It can be divided into primary hyperhidrosis of the hands and secondary hyperhidrosis of the hands

1. Primary hyperhidrosis of the hands often has no specific cause. Most patients belong to this category. They have unexplained excessive sweating of the palms since childhood, often accompanied by excessive sweating of the armpits and soles. The palms of the patients are moist and ruddy in a calm state. Sweat drops can be seen on the hands when the temperature is high or when the emotions are tense. Some patients have complications of dermatological diseases such as sweat herpes and peeling due to excessive sweating.

2. Secondary hyperhidrosis of the hands refers to the condition that occurs after a certain disease, such as mental illness, hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, diabetic menopausal syndrome, etc.

Hypoglycemia: The patient looks pale, sweats coldly, has palpitations, and tremors in the hands and feet, which can be relieved after eating.

Hyperthyroidism: In addition to being afraid of heat and sweating, patients also have increased appetite, weight loss despite eating more, increased bowel movements, palpitations, and mental tension.

Diabetes: Due to the combined autonomic dysfunction, patients often have abnormally increased sweating, accompanied by symptoms such as polyphagia, polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss.
