Night sweats in women during the latter part of the night are mostly caused by kidney yin deficiency, or may result from being in menopause and suffering from menopausal syndrome. It could also be due to insufficient calcium or lack of trace elements in the body. Additionally, conditions such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and tuberculosis can also cause this phenomenon. It is recommended to seek proper medical treatment immediately, maintain a light diet, avoid staying up late, and ensure adequate sleep.
