How dangerous is this condition?

 

 

Sweating is very important for the human body. Sweating not only removes dirt from the body, but also controls the temperature to a great extent. According to health experts, the condition of not sweating can be very dangerous. This condition is called anhidrosis. Due to lack of sweating, the body temperature cannot be controlled. Due to this, many organs of the body can be damaged.

Causes of anhidrosis

• Nerve related problems:   The autonomic nervous system is responsible for sweating in the body. If there is any problem in this nerve system, sweating may stop. This can happen due to diseases related to the nervous system such as diabetic neuropathy, Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis.
• Dehydration: When there is a severe lack of water in the body, sweating decreases or there is no sweating at all. Sweat is usually made up of water and salt, so the glands cannot be active when the amount of water in the body is low.
• Skin problems: When the outer layer of the skin is damaged or blocked due to an infection, the sweat glands cannot function properly. Skin irritation, burns, skin rashes or serious skin diseases like scleroderma or ichthyosis can prevent sweating.
• Effect of medicine: Use of some medicines such as antihistamines, depression, blood pressure medicines or mood stabilizers can affect the body's ability to sweat.
• Genetic: Some genetic conditions such as hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia cause the sweat glands to be few or nonexistent at birth, leading to the problem of not sweating even in the heat.
• Age factor: It can be normal for the elderly to sweat less or not at all with age, because with aging the sweat glands of the skin become inactive.
