What Causes Excessive Sweating After Menopause?
I had Polio at two years and I am now 65 . I sweat a lot just from any kind of exertion . I can't wear makeup because I am always hot. I was forced into menopause at thirty eight and I've been sweating ever since.
Is there anything that can stop it?
Thanks
Gail

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Menopause is a known cause for increased sweating. This is due to hormonal imbalance .
The management can be by-
- avoiding hot atmosphere, taking frequent cold water baths,use of topical anti antiperspirants.
- Certain medicines can help , but needs to be decided by an expert physician after health evaluation of patient/ investigations.
Thanks.
