Patient's question:
My mother has also entered menopause. Recently, she has noticed that she sweats very heavily. Even on dry days, her base layer shirts get large sweat stains. I'm a bit worried, not knowing if there's a problem with her body's functions. What should be done about sweating during menopause?Doctor's answer:
Every woman goes through menopause during middle age, usually associated with increased menstruation and approaching menopause. At this time, hormone levels are relatively chaotic, and the body's systems cannot adapt to this change, which may lead to some discomforts such as mental tension, easy sweating, poor sleep, fatigue, irritability, easily angered, guilt, etc. Medication and psychological adjustments are needed, along with relaxation and engaging in more cultural and recreational activities. Drinking more water and taking antiperspirant medication can also help.
