3. Myth: It's not fair; menopause is starting earlier and earlier these days.. We can't blame hormones in the food for this one. It's all your mother's fault! With 99 percent certainty, women go through menopause at exactly the same age their mothers did.
Emotionally stressful or traumatic events are a psychological cause of excessive sweating. The consumption of certain substances, such as alcohol, caffeine or spicy foods, may also cause you to sweat. Women often experience abnormal sweating during menopause.
Sweating on the face, head or scalp is usually a natural thing. When you exercise or get too warm, the body releases sweat to cool down the body. Sometimes head sweats are set off by strong emotions like nerves or stress. Excessive face and head sweats can cause discomfort at work or in social situations. What causes excessive head sweating? Some cases of excessive face sweating are caused by a medical condition called craniofacial hyperhidrosis. This condition is localised to the face, head and scalp and is thought to be the result of overactive sweat glands. Another potential cause of excessive head sweating is secondary hyperhidrosis. This can often be a side effect of medication, a change in hormone levels, or damage to the bodyâs nervous system.
