Symptoms of hot flashes and night sweats include excessive sweating, particularly during sleep at night, a damp sensation on the back, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as dry mouth and thirst. These symptoms not only affect the patient's sleep quality but may also cause inconvenience in daily life.
Treatment methods for hot flashes and night sweats are primarily chosen based on the underlying cause:
1. Daily care: Get adequate bed rest, avoid overexertion, and maintain healthy lifestyle habits and a regular daily routine.
2. Dietary adjustment: Increase intake of foods with heat-clearing and summer-heat-resolving properties, such as mung beans and winter melon. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and caffeine-containing foods.
3. Medication: Depending on the specific condition, doctors may recommend certain traditional Chinese medicines or Western medications to regulate the body, such as Zhibai Dihuang Pills or Liuwei Dihuang Pills. These medications help nourish yin, clear internal heat, and alleviate symptoms of hot flashes and night sweats.
