Night sweats - Hormone Optimal Care

What are night sweats?

Night sweats refer to excessive sweating during sleep. They involve drenching sweats that may soak your bedding and sleepwear.

What causes night sweats?

Several medical conditions and medications can cause night sweats. Some common causes include:

• Menopause - Changing hormone levels during menopause can trigger hot flashes and night sweats. This is a normal part of menopause transition.
• Hormone disorders - Conditions like hyperthyroidism and hypoglycemia cause hormone imbalances that can lead to excessive sweating at night.
• Infections - Infections like tuberculosis, cancer, and HIV cause fever and chills that make you sweat a lot.
• Medications - Medicines like hormones, antidepressants, and medicines for high blood pressure and diabetes may cause night sweats.

If you're having frequent night sweats, it's important to see your doctor. They'll help determine if an underlying condition is causing your night sweats. Proper diagnosis and treatment can provide relief.

Managing night sweats

If your night sweats are related to menopause or medication, here are some tips to manage them:

• Use lightweight, breathable bedding
• Wear loose, moisture-wicking sleepwear
• Keep bedroom temperature cool with AC or fan
