Why do you sweat at night?



Sweating at night may be related to some chronic wasting disease and rickets, but also can be seen in the environment temperature is too high, bedding is too thick and other physiological factors.

Sweating at night is mainly seen as night sweating in clinical practice, which is excessive sweating that occurs at night without the patient being aware of it. Night sweating is the most common symptom of some chronic wasting diseases, such as tuberculosis, hyperthyroidism and tumors. Lung CT, sputum examination, thyroid function tests and tumor markers can help to clarify the diagnosis.

Heavy sweating after sleep may also be associated with rickets, usually due to vitamin D deficiency. Micronutrient and vitamin tests can help to confirm the diagnosis.

Sweating can also be caused by high ambient temperatures or thick bedding, which can interfere with heat dissipation.

The specific situation needs to be examined to determine whether it is caused by a disease or not.
