Can Thyroid Problems Cause Excessive Sweating?
The thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system and located just below the larynx. Its primary functions include regulating metabolism and the production of hormones throughout the body. To handle these duties, the thyroid produces two hormones of its own, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). When the thyroid overproduces these two hormones, it causes an overstimulation of many other systems in the body causing a range of side effects that includes excessive sweating.
