Approximately 35% of patients with cervical disc herniation develop a sweating disorder.
The severity of sweating varies from person to person. The normal (physiological) pattern and severity of sweating, which is completely hereditary (genetic) and may vary from race to race, without any disease, is out of our scope.
Excessive sweating in the head and neck area occurs in almost 1/3 of our Cervical Disc Herniation patients. There is a complaint.
This regional sweating change is so obvious that the patient says, "Only my head is sweating, my pillow is soaked until the morning." He may consult a physician with his complaint.
The physician, who is unfamiliar with the subject, may not take this complaint into consideration or may not know that "Cervical Disc Herniation" may also cause this complaint.
Generally, the approach is either to convince the patient that this is not a disease. It is the investigation of certain diseases (hormonal disorders, etc.) by persuasion or a series of blood tests.
Why Cervical Disc Herniation disease causes regional sweating disorder can be explained scientifically. I will not go into this subject in this article as it requires detailed anatomy and physiology knowledge.
What you need to know is that in Cervical Hernias, sweating disorders occur that doctors have difficulty in explaining. Sweating disorders, from the most common to the least common, are as follows.
-Excessive sweating of the head and neck, especially at night during sleep,
-Not sweating at all in one half of the body, (It seems like I am not sweating from the waist down.)
-No sweating on one side of the body (As if my right side does not sweat.)
-Excessive sweating throughout the body (As a new situation that the patient is not used to before.)
-Disappearance of sweating throughout the body. (As a new situation in the patient who stated that he was sweating normally before.)
If you have this type of complaint, when you consult your doctor, all your tests and tests have not revealed the cause of this complaint. Ask him to examine the neck part of your spinal cord.
As information that should not be forgotten: Cervical Herniated Disorders (or diseases that develop in the Neck part of the Spinal Cord.) are among the diseases that can cause sweating disorders.
