The causes of night sweats in women during the latter part of the night may involve several aspects:
1. Physiological factors: These include high environmental temperature and mental stress. A decline in autonomic nervous system function in women may lead to increased sweat gland secretion.
2. Perimenopausal syndrome: This refers to endocrine, physical, and psychological changes in women during the perimenopausal period due to decreased sex hormones. Night sweats are one of its main symptoms.
3. Medical conditions: Hyperthyroidism, diabetes, hypertension, and other diseases may also cause night sweats, as these conditions can stimulate the nervous system and lead to certain neurological disturbances.
4. Other factors: High metabolic activity, excessively warm room temperature, or using overly thick bedding may also contribute to night sweats in the early morning hours.
Night sweats in women during the latter part of the night can have various causes and require individualized assessment. If there is concern or symptoms persist, timely medical consultation is recommended.
