As people pay more attention to their health, in recent years, some men have inexplicably sweated a lot at night while sleeping, not only sweating but also feeling weak all over. Many men think that women exhibit this behavior during menopause, so does this also indicate that they have entered menopause?
Women entering menopause will have obvious signs. That is to say, women basically enter menopause between the ages of 45 and 55, which is also a sign of aging in women. At this time, women’s menstruation will also begin to show abnormal phenomena, indicating that women have entered menopause, which women generally pay special attention to.
However, when men enter menopause, their bodies undergo subtle changes that are hardly noticeable if not paid attention to. For instance, becoming short of breath climbing stairs, experiencing frequent back pain, and gaining more belly fat. The main thing is that men tend to sweat easily while sleeping, indicating abnormal fluctuations in hormone levels in the body.
Although night sweats in men may be a symptom of menopause, other reasons closely related to menopause may include the following.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, if a person’s emotions are in a bad state for a long time, frequently becoming irritable, or if men have the bad habits of staying up late and excessive drinking, it will lead to an imbalance of yin and yang in the body. Such men are prone to night sweats while sleeping.
In addition, men may not only experience night sweats but also accompanied by irritability, weakness in the waist and knees, body thinning, overall lack of vitality, fear of cold, pale tongue coating, and even nocturnal emissions and premature ejaculation. Therefore, yin-yang imbalance has a relatively significant impact on the body and quality of life for men.
So how can men regulate night sweats and effectively alleviate the imbalance of yin and yang in their bodies?
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, yin-yang deficiency suggests that the patient has both yin deficiency and yang deficiency, feeling cold in winter, hot in summer, uncomfortable throughout the year, and not in a good state. At this point, we should consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and take some corresponding Chinese herbal medicines to adjust our bodies.
During the adjustment period, we must pay attention to our lifestyle and timely supplement the necessary nutrients for the body to have more energy. This will help maintain a balance between work and life, and enable a combination of work and relaxation. Meanwhile, men should also pay attention to their sexual activity frequency, avoid excessive fatigue, prevent disease exacerbation, and refrain from using folk remedies or overly tonifying methods, as this may burden the male body.
The above statements are just based on the traditional Chinese medicine perspective. If analyzed from a Western medicine perspective, night sweats in men may have the following reasons.
1. Diabetes
When a patient has diabetes, emotional instability can easily cause hormonal imbalance in the body. When the hormonal levels are imbalanced, night sweats can easily occur.
2. Thyroid issues
When there are problems with the thyroid gland, it can lead to hormonal imbalances and symptoms like palpitations and weight loss. In this case, further examination at the hospital is necessary, and if thyroid problems are detected, appropriate treatment should be sought.
From the above, it can be understood that night sweats in men while sleeping are abnormal. Immediate medical examination should be carried out if this occurs. If it persists, it is important to remember to get checked, as otherwise, it may lead to worsening of the condition, affecting one’s health and quality of life.
