Why Do People Tend to Sweat Easily?

Excessive sweating can be caused by hyperthyroidism and obesity. In hyperthyroidism patients, thyroid hormone levels in the body increase, and the basal metabolic rate of the body increases, making it easier to sweat. Obese patients tend to sweat easily, mainly due to the high fat content in the body, which plays a role in heat preservation. Therefore, after clarifying the cause, relevant treatment should be carried out, especially for obese patients, and sweating can be alleviated after successful weight loss.

1. Patients with hyperthyroidism, due to high thyroid hormone levels in the blood, can activate the sympathetic nerves of the human body, increase the basal metabolic rate, and cause symptoms such as excessive sweating, weight loss, increased appetite, and irritability.

2. Obese individuals are also prone to sweating, as obesity leads to increased body fat, which has heat-preserving and heat-insulating properties, making it easier to sweat. For these two conditions, patients need to check their thyroid function and judge whether there is a possibility of hyperthyroidism based on the thyroid function results. For obesity, patients need to control their diet and exercise, reduce food intake, increase exercise or increase energy consumption to lose weight.
