Sweating!

[Marcellus]

Can anyone suggest why some nights I am an absolute bucket of water and others not sweating at all.

Room is a constant temperature, I don't feel unwell on these nights and I'm not incontinent.......

diet including alcohol can play a part.

If you're waking up clammy rather than sweating while awake, breathing issues of some description have to be at least a decent possibility. Either that or you're having some cracking nightmares (but these can be related to the breathing as well).

Chief - rarely touch alcohol and have quite a good balanced diet too!

ClintonB - not aware that I have any breathing issues at all and am sleeping well without nightmares too!!

Common in menopausal age women, something to do with hormone imbalance which affects the brains ability to respond properly to body heat.
So perhaps you sometimes have a hormone imbalance, have you been to the doctors about it?

Have a look at candida or candidiasis symptoms - I don't mean thrush but
the gastro-intestinal form, loads of links on google.

While this article is mostly about night sweats in men, I must also note that some dangerous conditions can be indicated by night sweats, including:
HIV
Tuberculosis
Thyroiditis
Diabetes
Infections of various sorts
Malignancy: cancers can cause sudden rising and falling body temperatures, which leads to sweating.

How about instead of sleeping nude, you wear a tracksuit type set up in bed - similar to pyjamas, but designed to soak up sweat and keep you warm

If you don't mind me asking, what age are you? If you're middle aged, it could be the andropause (a.k.a male menopause) caused by a slowly dwindling testosterone level. Nick O'Hara Smith has a good site here: http://www.androids.org.uk/

Do you have any other symptoms of low T: Loss of libido, lethargy, mood swings, anger, anxiety, depression, aggression, erectile dysfunction, obesity?

I've had night sweats for the last 10 years or so. Started not long after I had testicular cancer for the first time. I saw my GP about it a couple of times but he fobbed me off and I didn't press the issue. However, after I took TC for the second time the night sweats got much more frequent, and I was convinced it must be hormonal - despite being on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).

My oncologist eventually referred me to an endocrinologist who I have seen three times now. Unfortunately, despite every blood test and urinalysis he can think of, he can't find any medical explanation for the night sweats, and insists that my T-level is in the "normal" range. However, this is a pretty broad range and everyone's normal is different. He has suggested it may be psychological, but I don't particularly want to go down that road, so I'll just live with it.

Do you sleep with a partner? I used to suffer from night sweats badly, after about
ten years I finally worked out that because she's always freezing cold at night
whereas I tend to be hot, she's got some ridiculously high tog duvet on which was
causing the problem.
