Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
Female night sweats may be due to physical weakness, or could be caused by conditions such as hyperthyroidism or menopausal syndrome. The timing of onset helps determine the cause: in younger women, excessive liver yang should be considered; in older women, it is generally related to menopause. Treatment may involve taking medications that nourish the liver and kidneys and improve overall constitution. Danggui Liuhuang Decoction can help alleviate night sweats in women.
