Why don't you sweat after strenuous exercise?

The human body should sweat after more normal exercise. The amount of sweating is more or less, depending on each person's physical condition. However, if you do not sweat after exercise, it means that there is a problem with your sweat glands or inside your body. Such situations should be treated promptly and effectively. Now let’s talk about the reasons why you don’t sweat during exercise.

(1) Congenital hypoplasia of sweat glands or lack of sweat glands can manifest as systemic or localized anhidrosis.

(2) Certain skin diseases, such as severe ichthyosis, scleroderma, leprosy, radiation dermatitis, skin atrophy, etc., can cause localized anhidrosis.

(3) Nerve damage, such as transverse myelitis, polio, paraplegia, and local damage to the sympathetic nerves, medulla oblongata, and pons, can cause systemic or localized anhidrosis.

(4) Certain visceral diseases, such as diabetes, diabetes insipidus, chronic nephritis, myxedema, malignant tumors, etc., in addition, vitamin A deficiency, etc., can also cause systemic anhidrosis.
