What causes men to sweat at night?

Sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon for normal people, but many men are prone to sweating at night. Since everyone pays great attention to their physical condition, they are definitely very anxious when such a situation occurs. They want to find the cause and are afraid of causing greater impact on their health. So, what is the reason why men sweat when they sleep at night? Let's take a detailed look below.

Many people want to know the reason why they sweat during sleep. Let's listen to the experts. Experts say that sweating during sleep is medically called "sweating". People with sweating symptoms sweat abnormally after falling asleep, but they stop sweating after waking up. What causes it? Generally speaking, it can be divided into two reasons, one is physiological sweating and the other is pathological sweating.

So what is the physiological reason for sweating during sleep at night? This type of sweating during sleep often occurs in children, because children's skin is very tender, contains more water, has abundant capillaries, and has an active metabolism but an incomplete autonomic nervous regulation function. Therefore, children tend to sweat when they are active. If they are more active before going to bed, their body metabolism will be more active, resulting in increased heat. When they fall asleep, their sweat glands will secrete more and sweat profusely to help dissipate heat. In addition, if children eat before going to bed, their gastric juice secretion will also increase, causing a corresponding increase in sweat gland secretion, causing children to sweat a lot when they sleep, especially in the first two hours of sleep. In addition, when the human body is sleeping, the indoor temperature is too high and the quilt is too thick. These environmental factors will cause physiological sweating during sleep.

Many people sweat during sleep at night due to pathological perspiration. After falling asleep, if the sweating time is mainly in the first half of the night, it is generally caused by low blood calcium. Low calcium will increase the excitability of the sympathetic nerves and increase the secretion of sweat glands. This phenomenon of sweating during sleep is more common in patients with rickets. If a patient with tuberculosis sweats during sleep, he often sweats all night, accompanied by symptoms such as super red face, loss of appetite, and mood swings. Many diseases that affect the body's temperature regulation center and excite the sympathetic nerves can cause pathological sweating during sleep.

The above is an introduction to the reasons why men sweat at night. I hope it will help you understand it. There are many factors that cause men to sweat at night. In daily life, you can diagnose according to your own situation, and then take appropriate measures to treat it to avoid causing serious harm to your healthy body.
