"Sweating without a sweat" is a disease name in traditional Chinese medicine. It is characterized by abnormal sweating after falling asleep and stopping sweating after waking up. "Sweating without a sweat" means stealing. Ancient doctors used thieves to describe this disease, that is, when people fall asleep or just close their eyes and are about to fall asleep, sweat leaks out like a thief.

Etiology and pathogenesis

1. Deficiency of kidney yin: Deficiency leads to excess yang, internal heat, and yin deficiency. When sleeping, the defensive qi takes advantage of the deficiency and sinks into the yin. The surface is not protected, the skin is not tight, and the fire in the rongzhong is strong outside, steaming and hot, forcing the body fluid to leak out and sweating. When awake, the qi is fixed on the surface, the Xuanfu is closed, and the sweat stops in the yin.

4 Mild and severe classification

According to the clinical manifestations of patients with dyshidrosis, it can be divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe.

Mild sweating

Most patients with mild hyperhidrosis sweat easily when they are deep asleep, at around 5 a.m., or 1 to 2 hours before waking up. The amount of sweat is small, and only after waking up do they feel a little sweat all over the body or some parts of the body. After waking up, there is no sweat again. Generally, there is no discomfort.

Medium Thief

For patients with moderate hyperhidrosis, sweat may leak out soon after falling asleep, and even soak their sleeping clothes. The sweat stops when they wake up, and they will not sweat again after wiping the sweat off their body. Patients with this type of hyperhidrosis often have a hot sensation, sweat due to heat, and sometimes feel dry mouth and throat after waking up.

Heavy Thief

Patients with severe hyperhidrosis sweat easily. Soon after falling asleep or just before closing their eyes, they sweat a lot. They can wake up after sweating, and the sweat stops immediately after waking up. They can sweat again when they fall asleep again. The amount of sweat is large, and the sweat often has a light salty taste, or it is mixed with sweat odor. Severe sweating can soak the bedding, and it is impossible to sleep well without changing sleeping clothes several times a night. Some patients with severe symptoms can soak the bedding. When the bedding is thin or a mat is used, the sweat can leave sweat marks on the bed board.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney controls the five fluids, and the heart turns into sweat. Due to excessive sexual intercourse, excessive sexual intercourse, blood loss, or long-term illness that damages the yin, the body is yin-deficient, the kidney fluid is insufficient, and the internal fire is generated, forcing the body fluid to leak out, so there are hot flashes, sweating, restlessness, insomnia, dizziness, tinnitus, red tongue with little coating, and thin pulse. "Medical Essential Reading" says: "When the kidney yin is weak and cannot nourish the body and retreat, it will be injured internally and sweating." At this time, the treatment should be to nourish yin and reduce fire.
