Nighttime sweating in men is commonly attributed to kidney deficiency. It may also result from calcium deficiency or prolonged, excessive physical exertion. Improving this condition can involve adequate rest, calcium supplementation, and consuming calcium-rich foods in the diet. If symptoms persist, consult a physician for guidance on appropriate kidney-tonifying medications.
