What causes night sweats?

Night sweats is mainly a disease in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is characterized by sweating when falling asleep. The abnormality will be alleviated as the night sweats worsen. Night sweats are also a common disease in daily life. However, its clinical manifestations are mainly divided into three types: mild, medium and severe. The mildest type of night sweats occurs after sleeping, and some symptoms will occur. The medium type of night sweats occurs shortly after falling asleep, and some sweat will appear at the same time. Night sweats are also a key disease.

Some of them in life are mainly caused by some diseases, so we must pay attention to them in daily life. It is mainly due to some functional diseases and some diabetes and tuberculosis can cause such diseases, so we can find the primary diseases in daily life to treat night sweats.

Mild night sweats

Most patients with mild night sweats sweat easily when they are deep in sleep, at around 5 a.m., or 1 to 2 hours before waking up. The amount of sweat is small, and they only feel a little sweat all over the body or certain parts of the body after waking up, and no sweat will be secreted again after waking up. It is usually not accompanied by any discomfort.

Moderate night sweats

Most patients with moderate night sweats will sweat soon after falling asleep, and their sleeping clothes may even be soaked through. The sweat will stop after they wake up, and they will not sweat again after wiping the sweat off their bodies. This type of night sweats causes the patient to feel hot and sweat, and sometimes to feel dry mouth and throat after waking up.

Severe night sweats

Patients with severe night sweats sweat easily. Shortly after falling asleep or just closing your eyes and about to fall asleep, you will sweat a lot. You will wake up after sweating, and the sweat will stop instantly after waking up. Falling back to sleep may cause sweating again. The amount of sweating is large, and the sweat often has a light salty taste, or is mixed with sweat odor. Severe sweating can make the bedding soaked, and one cannot sleep well without changing sleeping clothes several times a night. Some seriously ill patients can make the bedding soaked. When the bedding is thin or a mat is used, sweat can leave sweat marks on the bed board. These patients often have a noticeable feeling of hotness, are irritable, have dry mouth and tongue after sweating, and prefer cold water. It may be accompanied by low fever or hot flashes, fever in the five hearts, red cheeks, dizziness, weight loss, fatigue, dark urine, small urine volume, and dry stool.

Mild and moderate night sweats will not cause much damage to the body, but for patients with severe night sweats, the condition will often worsen over time and develop into "dehydration", which seriously threatens the patient's health and life safety.

The above is what night sweats are. Night sweats in daily life are also a relatively common disease. We must pay attention to it in daily life. It is mainly due to some functional diseases and some diabetes and tuberculosis can cause such diseases. Therefore, it is also very important to find the primary disease in daily life to treat night sweats. .
