Nighttime night sweats in women may result from ovarian failure, leading to decreased estrogen secretion and triggering menopausal syndrome; this condition may also be accompanied by symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. Alternatively, night sweats may stem from yin deficiency with hyperactive fire in women, characterized primarily by hot flashes, night sweats, warm palms, dry eyes, dry mouth, and irritability. Under a physician’s guidance, hormonal therapy—such as estradiol valerate—may be prescribed for regulation.
