Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains that night sweats during perimenopause stem from hormone decline. He recommends testing sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and cortisol, then replacing whatever is low, usually testosterone or progesterone.
So one of the things I get asked a lot as a women's health provider is how can I get rid of the night sweats? So as we get into perimenopause, one of the first signs but also one of the most debilitating side effects of losing our hormones are night sweats. You wake up in the middle of the night and you are drenched with sweat. They're miserable, they keep you up. Sometimes you have to change clothes. It can be really awful. So one of the ways that we do that is we check all of your hormones. Not just your sex hormones but also your thyroid hormones and your cortisol levels happening. We can reduce severity. But usually the biggest fix is fixing your hormones. This can be testosterone, it can be progesterone and it may even be estrogen. But before we replace it, we need to know what you're deficient on. Come see us at Pinnacle and we can get you fixed up and help you get rid of your night sweats. Also.
