Causes of night sweats in women
In this regard, Dr. Sherif Hetta, a consultant in public health and preventive medicine, said that night sweating in women usually occurs after their menstrual cycle stops.
Hetta added that menopause causes a group of disturbing symptoms for women, as a result of the hormonal disturbances that the body experiences after menopause.
The public health consultant explained that hot flashes are one of the most prominent problems associated with menopause, noting that they cause the body temperature to rise, which exposes women to sweating, especially during sleep.
