Patient's question:
I just had an abortion without anesthesia 7 days ago. Two days ago, I started sweating a lot at night. My pajamas got soaked. It has continued for several days now. After waking up, I don't sweat anymore. I feel weak in my hands and feet. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for excessive sweating, generally related to yin deficiency, damp-heat, liver heat, autonomic nervous system disorders, calcium deficiency, tuberculosis, hyperthyroidism, etc. It is recommended to check and get a definitive diagnosis. Herbal medicine treatment can also be used in conjunction with TCM syndrome differentiation.Advice: Check if it is due to yin deficiency-induced night sweats. You can consume some nourishing yin foods such as sesame seeds, tremella, and jujubes in moderation. Combined with acupuncture and herbal medicine treatment, the effect is quite good. Additionally, you should get more rest and avoid overexertion.
