What are night sweats?

Night sweats refer to severe hot flashes and excessive sweating that happens during the night. It is a common symptom of an underlying medical condition or illness.

Everyone sweats during sleep, but people with night sweats soak their sheets and sleepwear with sweat. Night sweats often disrupt sleep and cause fatigue and stress the next day.

What Causes Night Sweats?

• Hormonal changes during menopause and perimenopause in women often trigger hot flashes and night sweats. Declining estrogen levels upset the body's temperature regulation.
• Infections like TB, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, cancers, and HIV can induce fever and night sweats.
• Medications like antidepressants and drugs for nicotine and alcohol cessation can cause sweating as a side effect.
• Hormone disorders like low thyroid function and diseases like lymphoma and leukemia are also common culprits.
• Anxiety disorders, particularly PTSD, are strongly associated with night sweats in some people.

If you suffer from drenching night sweats, consult your doctor to diagnose the underlying cause. Treating the root issue can provide relief in many cases.
