Re: Excessive armpit sweating-HELP!

[Guest guest]

is sweating associated with PCOS at all?

how old is he - manopause changes can effect men too

http://www.livestrong.com/article/135411-what-are-causes-underarm-sweating/ -

mentions increase in progesterone ratio as a culprit of increased sweating

 http://www.hgh.org/Hormones/Hormones-And-Sweating.html - hyperthyroid and

diabetes also associated with excess sweating

I would encourage selenium, iodine, zinc, magnesium - which could be a pumpkin

seed snack, 2 Brazil nuts and a kelp capsule - with a meal.

the loading dose of Iodoral for one month plus the Brazil nuts would probably be

better but - any little step

yeah - might want to check out that PCOS RD, men can get the problem because it

is in the brain not the ovaries alone.

Greater Exercise Sweating in Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Compared

with Obese Controls

Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2010 September; 42(9): 1660–1668. doi: 

10.1249/MSS.0b013e3181d8cf68

However, the women with PCOS achieved

thermal regulation at the expense of producing high volumes of sweat,

even at mild exercise intensity. Indeed, the exercise intensity in these

sessions was light and elicited a very low sweating rate in our obese

subjects without PCOS. Thus, women with PCOS sweated earlier and more

profusely relative to women without PCOS to maintain their core

temperature. Both groups were obese (BMI ≥ 29.8 kg·m-2) in

this study, suggesting that the thermoregulatory changes seen in our

PCOS women were independent of obesity. Finally, although estradiol

administration increased sweating in the control women, women with PCOS

were insensitive to changes in estradiol exposure, with or without

testosterone.The women with

PCOS were smaller than the control women, which may have indicated a

greater fitness level. Thus, it is possible that the earlier sweating

threshold reflected improved fitness in our group with PCOS. We consider this

difference in fitness unlikely because both groups described

similar levels of physical activity in their daily lives; none of the

women exercised regularly in either group, and there is nothing to

suggest greater fitness other than lower body weight.

Subject: Excessive armpit sweating-HELP!

 

Started when the client gained ten pounds.  He says it is very annoying.  Also

has multiple kidney stones (calcium kind) with multiple lithotripsy, stones

passed each year, etc.

Wants the sweating to stop.  Doesn't have enough citric acid body wise so eats

one lemon a day.

OK, I am sure someone out there has ran into this one.....
