Night sweats in women may be due to entering menopause, during which a significant drop in estrogen levels occurs. They may also result from prolonged mental stress leading to deficiency and depletion of yin. Additionally, hormonal changes during pregnancy or menstruation can cause such symptoms. These symptoms typically resolve spontaneously after the completion of pregnancy or the menstrual period.
