GROIN SWEATING IN WOMEN

Vaginal sweating is very bothersome as it is accompanied by odor and itching. It might affect our social activities too. The medical term for groin sweating is referred as truncal hyperhidrosis.

GROIN SWEATING IN MEN

Sweating in the intimate area isn’t exactly something that people openly talk about. While truncal hyperhidrosis is more common in women, men also suffer from it. Heavy sweating in the trunk area can be very irritating and can make a person feel uncomfortable.  There are several factors that lead to excessive groin sweating including hormonal imbalance, psychiatric condition, chronic medical condition, obesity, etc. Excessive sweating can also cause infection, rashes, itching, etc. in the groin area. Men who do heavy labor or outdoor activities are more prone to heavy groin sweating.

However, we have few tips that will help men to deal with heavy groin sweating.

1. POWDER YOUR PARTS

Once you are done with your bath, dry off properly. Make sure you don’t have any wetness on your intimate region. Once you are sure that you are properly dried off, apply talcum powder. Apply it on your groin, inner thighs, and buttocks.

Talcum powder will help in absorbing the moisture that may occur during the day. The perspiration will mix with the powder and evaporate the powder, and you will stay fresh and dry.

2. AVOID WEARING TIGHT UNDERGARMENTS

It is a very simple yet a serious advice. Breathable underwear is probably the first thing you should do if you want to control the sweat down there. If you are not wearing cotton underwear – then start wearing it today. We, very well know that just breathable underwear are not enough to control sweat in the groin region. Although, it will be a great help to point number 1.

3. HEAL THE RASHES (IF ANY)

Before taking any measure, make sure your region down there is in the healthy situation. If you have a rash before the sweating problem, treat that first. See a doctor about it. When the rash is cleared out, treat the sweating issue.

4. SHAVING THE REGION

If you generally shave your groin region, then you might want to hold on or at least change the frequency of the haircut in your groin region. While less hair will surely decrease the sweating, it will increase chaffing and irritation.

5. DEODORIZING THE THIGHS

If you sweat from inner thighs, then layering a thin coat of deodorant there will do wonders. The fold between the groin and inner thighs is where the problem usually begins. Do not put deodorant directly on your groin. That is not a good idea. Instead, put mild antiperspirant on your inner things. However, if you feel the irritation of any sort, stop immediately.

Start with these small yet practical steps, and you will see that sweating is reduced significantly.
