Have you got a sweaty bum that not only causes you discomfort and embarrassment but is costing you a fortune in products to soothe any irritation that is a result of it? And not to mention how much you're paying out for laundry detergent due to the constant need to wash your underwear, or worse still having to buy new?
Are men more likely to suffer from a sweaty bum more than women? No, I am afraid to say that women just as much as men have this problem also. Why a lot of people believe that man be primarily the victim is because their most likely to address the matter, and are first to come looking for a cure. Sadly, women tend to suffer in silence due to them being embarrassed about their sweaty genitals. Hey girls no need to blush because this is a common concern. If you see other women sweat from their brow and under their arms then they will also sweat around the vagina and anus to, so you're not on you're own.
Should people be glad their bottoms can't be seen purely for this reason. No, although an uncomfortable and frustrating problem people tend to put up with it, and don't do much about it because it "can't be seen and this is unhealthy. It may sound odd but it is not until those ugly sweat stains appear on clothes that alert some people to the fact that they have a problem with sweating.
As soon as you feel your bum greasing up or becoming slightly oily then wash it. The problem can worsen if sweat is allowed to build up. Gooey sticky substance of this sort left for a period of time on the skin will bring smell.
Sweaty genitals are yucky becoming more abhorrent the longer you leave the sweat slithering in the crack of the anus. Whether you are walking, running, sitting or standing, it is something you can't ignore. You need to treat the area to clear the problem right away so you can think of nice things throughout the day, instead of your butt.
You don't have to be Einstein to put two and two together if a person you know wears nothing but black pants all the time. If you find you're in this predicament i.e. feared of leaving bum impressions behind every time you sit down, or that sweat stains are noticeable when you rise then do something about it. Stress can make you sweat more. Treat your sweaty bum and you can start wearing bright coloured trousers or skirts
Tips for Treating a Sweaty Bottom
-
Wear pants and under garments made of cotton - no polys or synthetics.
-
It's worth considering tactical high-tech poly underwear, the kind worn by athletes who in humid conditions you may bet sweat a lot but never appear to have stained clothing.
-
Depending on severity you could try slightly dusting the area with talcum powder. Much debate goes on about baby talc being better than ordinary talc; however, the only way to find out is to experiment with both. Some people oppose this method altogether because they say when the talc mixes with sweat it clogs, but doesn't this tell you it's absorbing up the oily fluid.
-
Cornstarch is supposedly said to be affective.
-
A great percentage of sweaty folk use underarm deodorant on the small of their back, how true its effectiveness I do not know.
-
If your place of work is away from the public eye consider wearing shorts. Locate a fan close to where you sit in the office, or stand in the shop.
Excessive sweating is called hyperhidrosis in which there is more than normal secretion of the sweat gland. It can be a localized issue or include the entire body. If you suffer from hyperhidrosis try OTC antiperspirant and see if that helps. If specially formulated antiperspirants to treat heavy sweating don't work for you then you may require prescription medicines like anticholinergics. Other types of treatment are ontophoresis, botulinum toxin, and surgery but only in special cases. Always consult your GP before using unfamiliar products or practicing unknown solutions to stay safe.
A major problem that can derive from sweating around the genitals is itching.
About anal itching, if you scratch you're bum a lot then you could be suffering from a condition called Pruritus ani which includes a persistent itch around the anus? Anal itching is embarrassing and most disturbing for the sufferer.
What is pruritus ani?
Pruritus ani simply explained is a chronic (continual) itchy feeling around the bottom. The urge to itch can happen any time, however more likely to occur after passing stools (faeces) and late of an evening. The itch can become more severe by heat, wool, moisture, leaking, soiling, stress and anxiety which results in the patient scratching their bum with aggression. When a person relieves their itch this way, it is either because the itch is unbearable, or that they are just seriously peeved with the pruritus ani symptom. Pruritus ani is more common in men than women, and is more likely to affect people between the ages of 40-60.
There are many reasons for pruritus ani occurring, and because these causes are identifiable we have a name for it (secondary pruritus ani.) In cases of uncertainty of the cause then it's called 'idiopathic pruritus ani' which means 'itchy anus of unknown cause'.
If a cause/infection is found then usual treatments for pruritus ani might include?
- Steroid cream for a short period if there is eczema (dermatitis) around the anus.
- Antifungal cream
- Antibiotics
- Anal conditions such as haemorrhoids or anal fissure may need treatment.
- If threadworms are the cause of your bum itch then you can remove them with special medication.
How to clean a sweaty bum
It takes nothing more than soap and warm water to wash your bottom. If it's sweat that needs cleaning off then rinse the genitals a couple of times before using the soap. Soap is smooth and creamy and it is this sort of feel we are trying to rid. If you have pubic hair then lather up well to remove any unmissed poo left behind after opening you're bowels.
Use moist wipes (medicated) instead of toilet tissue to clean your bum as they take more dirt with one wipe than that of dry paper. Wipes that contain moisturizer will keep the genitals fresh as well as clean. Choose alcohol free wipes and ones that flush away .
I recommend you wash your bum every morning like you do your face and hands. To keep you're bum clean and healthy then think hands. Think about how many times you wash them in a day, and why. The answer is simple, it's because you can see the mucky marks. So if you could see your bum would you do the same, of course you would.
Play the pretend game and imagine you can see it and I bet you end up with the cleanest ass in town. If you don't do it, then that makes you an ass altogether for not doing what's necessary to cure your problem.
