Causes of Groin Sweating:


Sweating in the groin area, also known as groin hyperhydrosis, has no specific cause currently identified. The reasons behind excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) lie within the physiological make-up of a person. The main trigger is considered to be the over-action of the sympathetic nervous system (the section of our nervous system that governs the fight-or-flight response). Hot weather and an active lifestyle also lead to increased instances of groin sweating, but this is just our bodies natural reaction. Obesity can also contribute to the problem.
