Reasons why men sweat at night

The hot summer is here, and we have to turn on the air conditioner to fall asleep every day. Some people will sweat all over in the middle of the night, but most people don’t care too much about this phenomenon, thinking it is because the weather is too hot. In fact, this idea is incorrect, because sweating in the middle of the night may be a signal sent by the body or a precursor to a certain disease. However, the specific cause still needs to be checked in the hospital for a detailed examination.

Specific reasons:

Hyperthyroidism

Due to hyperthyroidism, excessive thyroid hormone is secreted, the metabolic rate increases, and the nervous excitability increases. Sympathetic nerve overexcitation can cause heat intolerance, excessive sweating, and even night sweating.

diabetes

The main reason for excessive sweating in diabetic patients is autonomic nervous system dysfunction and sympathetic nervous system excitement, which leads to increased sweat gland secretion; secondly, increased blood sugar metabolism rate is also one of the reasons for excessive sweating in diabetic patients.

Tuberculosis

Sweating is one of the symptoms of tuberculosis poisoning. It is the result of the toxins of tuberculosis bacteria and their metabolites stimulating the central nervous system, leading to autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

Tumor

Sweating is also a common symptom in cancer patients.

other

In addition, diseases such as hypertension, menopausal syndrome, hypoglycemia, systemic lupus erythematosus, endocarditis, and postoperative weakness, mental tension, psychological pressure, etc. may cause hyperhidrosis. However, most hyperhidrosis is caused by autonomic nervous system dysfunction, and its pathogenesis is mainly due to abnormal excitement of the sympathetic nerves.

Night sweats during menopause are a common phenomenon. According to Western medicine, they are caused by endocrine and autonomic nerve dysfunction caused by the onset of menopause. According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is caused by internal heat due to yin deficiency, excessive yang due to deficiency, and unsolidified body fluids. Therefore, nourishing yin is the main focus during treatment. Although night sweats during menopause are normal, if they seriously affect daily life, they still require treatment.

Therefore, if you often sweat in the middle of the night, you should pay attention to it. For your own health, go to the hospital for a detailed examination. If it is really a disease, early detection can lead to early treatment. Finally, I would like to remind everyone: summer is coming, don't turn on the air conditioner all night, it is easy to get sick and catch a cold!
