What does it mean when a woman has a weak constitution and night sweats?
Disease description:
My wife has been experiencing night sweats for the past few days. When I took her to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor today, the physician mentioned that her constitution is relatively weak. I wonder what might be causing this?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
A woman's physical weakness and night sweats may result from congenital deficiency or previous surgeries that cause imbalance between yin and yang. They could also stem from prolonged mental stress or excessive psychological pressure leading to depletion of bodily yin. Additionally, if a woman is during her menstrual period or pregnancy, the symptoms mentioned above may arise due to deficiency of qi and blood.
