What to do if your armpits sweat when you are nervous

It is inevitable that everyone will get nervous sometimes. There is nothing wrong with being nervous as long as the emotions are relieved. However, many people sweat under their armpits when they are nervous, which is quite annoying because it would be embarrassing if someone accidentally finds out. So, what should you do if you sweat under your armpits when you are nervous?

When people are nervous, the excitability of the sympathetic nerves will increase. This is a normal physiological reaction that cannot be controlled by consciousness. When the sympathetic nerves are excited, it will cause the sweat glands to secrete, resulting in sweating. Severe cases may be accompanied by flushed face, trembling hands, palpitations, and rapid heartbeat. In this case, sweating under the armpits does not require treatment. The key is to strengthen exercise and avoid tension. Relax your mind and go out for more activities or hang out with colleagues or people.

This odor caused by sweating is not body odor. If you find that your armpits have odor, but other people around you cannot smell the odor, and only you touch your armpits with your hands and smell a little odor, it’s okay. Just change clothes frequently, take a shower frequently, and wear cotton underwear.

Antiperspirant cannot cure the problem of excessive underarm sweating. To solve the problem from the root, antiperspirant can only relieve and cover up the odor of sweat. It is recommended to solve the problem psychologically, with diet therapy, or through minor surgery.

What are the symptoms of underarm odor and how to diagnose it? Patients with underarm odor will sweat abnormally and excessively under the armpits when the ambient temperature is high or they are in a tense mood, and emit an unpleasant odor. Excessive sweating and underarm odor will stain clothes yellow and leave a lingering odor, causing trouble in cleaning. This symptom is most obvious during adolescence and is easily aggravated in the hot summer.

What diseases can easily be confused with underarm odor? The symptoms of this disease are obvious and do not need to be distinguished from other diseases. However, many people do not have real body odor. It is normal for them to smell a little odor when they touch their armpits with their hands while others do not smell the odor in a room.

There are two types of autonomic nerves:

One is the sympathetic nerve and the other is the parasympathetic nerve.

If the sympathetic nerves are excited, people will sweat, and if the parasympathetic nerves are excited, people will not sweat. In other words, the imbalance of your sympathetic nervous system is the root cause of excessive sweating.

It can usually be treated with a minor surgery. Three pencil-sized holes are made under the patient's armpits. Then laparoscopic technology is used to insert the surgical instruments. Through the laparoscopic screen, 2 cm of the sympathetic nerves that are "responsible for managing" axillary sweat are removed, and the operation is completed.
