Female night sweats are generally caused by factors such as excessive hormone secretion and hypoglycemia. If a patient has overactive endocrine hormone secretion, it may lead to the aforementioned symptoms. Hypoglycemia can also cause night sweating, in which case the patient may require insulin injections. Patients with cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases may likewise experience these symptoms. Additionally, conditions such as tuberculosis or hyperthyroidism can also trigger night sweats in women.
