Why do men sweat profusely? Profuse sweating is not just a sign of kidney deficiency!

In traditional Chinese medicine, men sweating at night and stopping sweating when they wake up is called diaphoresis. Generally speaking, these men not only have the symptoms of "sweating", but also have obvious symptoms such as hot hands and feet, irritability, etc. Based on these symptoms, they can be diagnosed as kidney deficiency. So, is the reason why men sweat at night just because of kidney deficiency?

Kidney deficiency

If a man sweats while sleeping at night, it may be due to kidney deficiency. Chinese medicine believes that everything is divided into yin and yang. The human kidney is also divided into kidney yin and kidney yang. The cause of kidney dysfunction may be caused by kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency. Therefore, to replenish the kidney, we must find out the cause and replenish it according to the type.

Endocrine causes

Men sweat profusely at night when they sleep, which is not only related to the air circulation conditions of the sleeping environment and whether the bedding is breathable, but also some diseases such as tuberculosis, endocarditis or malignant tumors such as lymphoma, etc., may cause night sweats. In addition, endocrine disorders, such as patients with diabetes, hyperthyroidism, as well as people with emotional disorders and autonomic nervous system disorders, may also cause heavy sweating at night.

Kidney Yin Deficiency

Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "stealing sweat", which is a manifestation of kidney yin deficiency. Sweat occurs when the amount of activity is large, indicating that the lung qi is also deficient. There are many reasons for this, such as tuberculosis, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and other lung diseases and heart failure.
