I am a 26yr old female, have a 9 yr old son and I suffer through night sweats more than 3x a week. I'm not talkin about being a bit clammy when I awake; I mean the night before last, I woke up and thought I peed on myself. My sheets, blanket, pillows, t-shirt and OMG lets not go to the hair, were DRENCHED, almost as if I came out of the shower without a towel to dry off with. NASTY! Please help me.

You might want to have your thyroid level checked. It is effected by stress,and other factors and can makes you have these symptoms. Also,look at the medications you are taking, some side effects can be the night sweats. Ask and keep asking until you get the right answers. You are your best advocate.

Sounds like something is up with your hormone levels. Are you taking any kind of birth control? Is there any chance you could be pregnant? Do you have any other symptoms, like breast tenderness, mood swings, irritability, or fatigue? Consider those things, and if the night sweats continue, I'd go to a doctor (preferably an ob/gyn) just to be on the safe side. Hope it gets better! :)

I am 34 years old and I have horrible night sweats also. Mine started 4 years ago once I tied my tubes after the birth of my son. They are a worse the entire week before my period. My head is soaked, in between my breasts, behind my knees...it's terrible. I have researched this a little and found out I may have perimenopause. I just find it strange that it only happens a week before my period. My doctor put me on hormones and stuff...but that only made me have other problems. I will keep you updated if I find out more info and please do the same with me. Thanks.

It may be stress related. It may also be hormone related, so i would get it checked out to confirm. You can get some extra estrogen by your doctor if it is hormones. Good Luck.

there are several conditions that could cause this but I dont want you to worry over all of them so the best thing to do would be to see your doctor immediately ..... It's going to take some courage but ,theres no peace like peace of mind..
