Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Overactive thyroid or Low blood sugars are two main causes for Excessive sweating. Ths can be aggravated due to menopause and stress also.
You can use a Anti perspirant after discussing it with your Doctor for example, products containing 10% to 20% aluminum chloride hexahydrate by applying to the affected areas.
In addition to this, you can follow some lifestyle modifications:
1.) Have bath daily.
2.) Avoid tight clothing and wear loose cotton fabric.
3.) You should dry your body head to toe thoroughly after bath.
4.) Avoid stress, practice relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation.
5.) Eat healthy nutritious balanced diet which should include fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Avoid coffee, alcoholic beverages, onions and garlic which have strong odors.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
