What causes cold sweats when sleeping at night?

Cold sweats during sleep at night are a symptom characterized by abnormal sweating after falling asleep, which stops when waking up. It is more common in people who have suffered from various chronic diseases for a long time and have weak constitutions. Chinese medicine believes that excessive sweating is caused by deficiency of both Qi and Yin, which makes it impossible to collect and retain sweat. There are many different reasons for sweating, and only by finding the cause can we treat it accordingly. Some known situations that may cause sweating are:

1. Menopause

Hot flashes that accompany menopause may occur at night and cause sweating. This is a very common cause of sweating in many women.

2. Idiopathic hyperhidrosis

Idiopathic hyperhidrosis is a condition in which the body produces excessive sweat for a long time without any identifiable physical cause.

Dyshidrosis is most commonly caused by tuberculosis infection. But bacterial infections such as endocarditis, osteomyelitis (inflammation of the bone), and abscesses can cause dyshidrosis. Dyshidrosis is also a symptom of HIV infection.

4. Cancer

Sweating is an early symptom of some cancers. The most common type of cancer that causes sweating is lymphoma. However, a person diagnosed with cancer often has other symptoms, such as unexplained weight loss and fever.
