Why do we sweat in the groin and how can we prevent it?

Sweat in the groin is still a taboo subject. Although not talked about much, it affects many women and can lead to some pretty embarrassing moments. To combat it, it is important to know everything about shin sweat: why it occurs and how to prevent it.

When we talk about sweating in general, we are talking about a normal process by which our body regulates its temperature. Concern arises when sweat production is excessive and leads to discomfort. Although we most often sweat in the armpits, some people experience pubic sweat due to sweat glands in the groin. Hormones, metabolism or emotional state are just some of the factors that can lead to its occurrence, and when it is produced in excess, it is called in medical terms hyperhidrosis.

If you have experienced groin sweat and are wondering what you can do to prevent it, know that there are methods that can help. Use e.g. only underwear made from 100% natural materials. We recommend Femi.Eko menstrual panties , which are suitable both for this time of the month and for sweat in the genitals.

Causes of excessive sweating in the groin

To better understand what happens to your body when groin sweat occurs, it's important to know what causes it. The sweat glands in this area of ​​the body become overactive and cause excessive sweat production in certain situations such as:

Intensive training

Intense sports generally make you sweat, and this can happen all over the body. And if you e.g. running or training your leg muscles in the gym, your lower body will produce more sweat, including in the groin.

Pubic hair

Pubic hair promotes the presence of bacteria and the feeling of moisture, which is why you may experience increased discomfort, itching and bad odor when the glands secrete sweat in the groin.

Inadequate underwear

Underwear is important to every woman's comfort, no matter what day of the month. To feel protected and to avoid unpleasant odors or itching, we recommend that you avoid briefs made of synthetic fabric, which do not allow the skin to breathe. In addition, they retain moisture and increase the sensation of heat, which makes sweating difficult. Always choose underwear made from natural materials that can absorb and wick away moisture.

Menopause

Changes in hormone levels in women over 45 often cause hot flashes, which can lead to profuse sweating, even in the groin.

Anxiety or stress

If you sweat a lot and in all areas of the body, it may be due to anxiety and stress.

Diabetes

Diabetes can cause sudden changes in glucose levels, which in turn can cause excessive sweat production in both men and women.

Obesity

People who experience this problem are prone to sweating under the arms.

Solutions for sweat in the groin

Although genital sweat is a problem that can give you a lot of headaches - increased discomfort, dampness and unpleasant odor - don't worry! There are solutions that you can use, e.g. major lifestyle changes (balanced diet, less stress, changing underwear with 100% natural materials) or certain treatments, but only after a medical examination by a specialist.

What can you do right away to prevent pubic sweat? Replace your synthetic underwear and choose moisture-friendly products instead. This means 100% natural substances that allow the skin to breathe and have the ability to absorb and remove sweat and unpleasant odors. With this in mind, the Femi.Eko specialists have developed panty designs that you can use for both menstruation and sweat in intimate life.

Ida menstrual panties has e.g. an absorbent area of ​​organic cotton that protects without PFA or other harmful chemicals. The 4 different layers of protective material also make them extremely effective in case of underarm sweat. You forget the unpleasant feeling of wetness, and you get rid of stress as a result of unpleasant smells. You will feel protected and safe from the first time you put them on.

When should you go to the doctor?

The first step is to change your lifestyle, ie. ditch unhealthy foods, remove sedentary and stress from your life and have very good personal hygiene. However, if excessive underarm sweating persists, it is recommended that you consult a specialist.
