A member asked:

Why body of me sweat a lot from right side and left is normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Parul Krishnamurthy answered

Specializes in Obstetrics & Gynecology

Unsure: Most of our bodies are not always symmetrical, so probably, there are more sweat glands on one side vs the other.
