What is the reason for excessive sweating on the head

If your head is always sweating, you should pay attention to whether it is a phenomenon of night sweats. In traditional Chinese medicine, night sweats are a relatively common problem, and in clinical practice, the symptoms of profuse sweating can be mild or severe. Therefore, these symptoms need to be scientifically adjusted.

1. In medicine, sweating while awake is called "spontaneous sweating" and sweating during sleep is called "night sweats". Night sweats is a disease name in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a symptom characterized by abnormal sweating after falling asleep and stopping sweating after waking up. "Dao" means stealing. Ancient doctors used the sneaky activities of thieves at night to describe the disease that every time people fall asleep or just close their eyes and are about to fall asleep, sweat secretes like a thief. ?

2. Most patients with mild night sweats sweat easily when they are deep in sleep, at around 5 a.m., or 1 to 2 hours before waking up. The amount of sweat is small, and they only feel a little sweat all over the body or certain parts of the body after waking up. No sweat will be secreted again after waking up. It is usually not accompanied by any discomfort. ?

3. Most patients with moderate night sweats will sweat soon after falling asleep, and their sleeping clothes may even be soaked. The sweat will stop after they wake up, and they will not sweat again after wiping the sweat off their bodies. This type of night sweats causes the patient to feel hot and sweat, and sometimes to feel dry mouth and throat after waking up. ?

4. Patients with severe night sweats sweat easily. Shortly after falling asleep or just closing your eyes and about to fall asleep, you will sweat a lot. You will wake up after sweating, and the sweat will stop instantly after waking up. Falling back to sleep may cause sweating again. The amount of sweating is large, and the sweat often has a light salty taste, or is mixed with sweat odor.

5. Excessive sweating may make the bedding soaked, and it is impossible to sleep well without changing sleeping clothes several times a night. Some seriously ill patients can make the bedding soaked. When the bedding is thin or a mat is used, sweat may leave sweat marks on the bed board. These patients often have a noticeable feeling of hotness, irritability, dry mouth and tongue after sweating, and like cold water. It may be usually accompanied by low fever or hot flashes, fever in the five hearts, red cheeks, dizziness, weight loss, fatigue, dark urine, small urine volume, and dry stool. Mild and moderate night sweats will not cause too much damage to the body, but for patients with severe night sweats, the condition will often worsen over time and develop into "dehydration", which seriously threatens the patient's health and life safety.
