What is night sweats?

Night sweats mean that when you fall asleep, your body will sweat involuntarily, and when you wake up, you will find that the sweat has wet your bedding. Night sweats are different from physiological sweating. Night sweats belong to a pathological abnormal sweating phenomenon. In terms of the causes of night sweats, it seems that no matter Chinese medicine or western medicine, night sweats will occur in the following situations. Let me analyze the cause of night sweats for you.

First of all, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, yin deficiency can lead to night sweats. I still remember that when I was studying diagnostics of traditional Chinese medicine, I promised that people who were upset, hot flashes and night sweats would even feel steamed bones. After yin deficiency, Yang Qi is relatively popular. Chinese medicine believes that our body has two kinds of gas exchange cycles, namely yin and yang. During the day, Wei Qi circulates outside the human body to protect it, and at night, Wei Qi goes deep into the body. Patients with yin deficiency have a relatively strong body yang. When Wei Qi permeates the body again, the body yang will be more resistant. This is the mechanism of night sweats. Night sweats caused by yin deficiency should also be treated dialectically, such as kidney yin deficiency and lung yin deficiency. For night sweats caused by kidney yin deficiency, we generally choose a medicine called Liuwei Dihuang Pill. For patients with lung yin deficiency, our treatment method is Lily Gujin Decoction. The essence of traditional Chinese medicine lies in syndrome differentiation and treatment, so we can't talk about this thing in general.

? In addition to some mechanisms of night sweats mentioned by Chinese medicine, the occurrence of tuberculosis will also have symptoms of night sweats. If you have long-term cough and night sweats, you must go to the local tuberculosis prevention and treatment institute for relevant professional examinations. Because tuberculosis is a very serious infectious disease, and it has appeared for a very long time, and now human beings have not overcome tuberculosis, you should not underestimate that it is just a kind of tuberculosis.

I hope you can pay attention to your illness and get better.
