Night sweats refer to severe hot flashes and excessive sweating that occurs during the night or while you sleep. They are a common symptom during menopause and perimenopause in women, as well as a side effect of certain medical conditions or medications.
Causes
If you're experiencing severe or prolonged night sweats with no identifiable cause, I recommend checking in with your doctor and getting some blood work done to check hormone levels and rule out any underlying medical issues.
