What Causes Night Sweats in Men?

If you sleep in a warm bedroom, wear too many bed clothes, if you are over-fatigued or too stressed, you might sweat too much, especially at night. This is a normal form of night sweats in men and generally is not a cause for alarm.

Sweating is also a means for your body to detoxify. So, after eating certain food like red meat, garlic, onions, various spicy foods or drinking to much alcohol, our body increases the rate of perspiration to eliminate the toxins. Again, this is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

Then When Should I Start to Worry About Night Sweats in Men?

If you suffer from night sweats or perspire so profusely that you literally soak the bed with sweat at night then maybe you should start to be concerned.

Night sweats accompanied by fever and/or episodes of acid reflux are also indications of a problem with night sweats.

Night sweats in men may also be a symptom of low testosterone, the hormone in men that maintains:

• bone and muscle mass,
• strength,
• fat distribution,
• sperm production,
• sex drive,
• erection quality and
• potency.

There are other conditions related to night sweats in men, but low testosterone is often the cause.

For some men the normal drop in testosterone levels due to aging leads to night sweats, sometimes referred to as andropausal hot flashes.

Night Sweats can happen to men of any age!
