Menopause Night Sweats

Causes, Symptoms, and Natural Treatment




Menopause night sweats is a common perspiration disorder that creates a warm sensation causing your body to perspire.

Night sweats are also known as nocturnal hyperhidrosis. Most women will experience this common menopause symptom before, during or after menopause.

Nocturnal hyperhidrosis refers to any excess sweating occurring from the body during the night.

Night sweats occur due to your changing estrogen levels.

Most experts believe that menopause night sweats are due to the reduction of hormones as well as a rise in FSH and LH hormones.

Interestingly, night sweats aren't just a symptom of menopause for women. Men experiencing male menopause might experience night sweats caused by excessive heart palpitations. These palpitations are caused by an overactive autonomic system that is responding to a reduction in testosterone levels.
