Understanding the Causes of Night Sweats and When to Seek Medical Help
Night sweats are episodes of excessive sweating that occur during sleep, often soaking through nightclothes or bedding. They can be caused by various factors including medication, medical conditions, hormonal changes like menopause, infection, stress, and certain disorders. Night sweats are different from exercise-related sweat in terms of chemical composition and function. It is recommended to have frequent night sweats evaluated by a clinician to identify the underlying cause.
