What causes frequent hot flashes and sweating?

Frequent hot flashes and sweating may be caused by multiple factors, mainly including: 1. Environmental factors: Excessively high environmental temperature or excessive clothing can lead to poor heat dissipation, thereby causing hot flashes and sweating. 2. Physical constitution factors: In traditional Chinese medicine theory, body constitutions such as Yin deficiency with internal heat and weak lung defense may lead to internal heat generation or fluid loss due to insufficient body fluids or deficiency of defensive Qi, causing symptoms of hot flashes and night sweats. 3. Disease-related factors: Certain diseases, such as hyperthyroidism and other endocrine disorders, can cause body temperature regulation imbalance, leading to hot flashes and excessive sweating. In addition, women with perimenopausal syndrome often experience symptoms such as hot flashes, palpitations, and sweating. 4. Emotional factors: When emotionally excited, increased sympathetic nerve activity and accelerated whole-body blood circulation may also cause hot flashes and sweating. It is recommended to take appropriate improvement measures according to specific circumstances, such as adjusting environmental temperature, improving dietary habits, undergoing medication treatment, and seeking timely medical consultation to identify the cause and receive professional guidance.
