Suggest Treatment For Excessive Sweating
Question: I experience Excessive sweating several times per day. I am a 67 year old male but this feels like my wife has described as hot-flashes. I had my prostae removed three years ago, but my PSA began to rise and so a year ago I had radiation and hormone therapy and have been experiencing profuse sweating episodes several times per day (and night) ever since. Is there anything I can do to control this?
Brief Answer:
Following causes to excessive sweating
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
There are many causes to excessive sweating in your case:
1. Hormonal changes due to hormone therapy - hormonal balance is advised
2. Anemia following radiation - complete blood count to rule it out
3. Current prostate problems you might have - reevaluation by urologist is advised
Lack of energy following radiation might be another cause. Eating healthy and taking supplements with essential vitamins and minerals can help.
All the best and God bless!
