If you have night sweats that disrupt your sleep, Zack says you need to talk to your doctor to rule out anything serious.

“Whenever we hear about somebody having soaking night sweats, it definitely requires a range of questions to determine what might be causing that,” she says.

Here are 10 possible causes of night sweats in women:.

Common causes of night sweats for women are menopause and perimenopause, the stage leading up to menopause, when ovarian functions and menstrual cycles start to fluctuate, Zack says.

Night sweats can be a sign of a serious infection says Peter Bidey, vice chair of the Department of Family Medicine and assistant professor of family medicine at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.

“Some of the infections that notoriously go along with night sweats are tuberculosis and HIV,” he says, adding that endocarditis, an infection of the heart tissue, and osteomyelitis, infections of the bone, can also cause night sweats.

Some cancers, like leukemia and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, cause night sweats, Bidey says.

But, anxiety might not always cause the soaking night sweats that come with other conditions, she says.

Any hormonal change may cause night sweats, especially for women, Zack says?

Night sweats are often a symptom of sleep apnea, the condition causing you to stop breathing while asleep (often several times a night), Bidey says.

For people with hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes excessive sweating, night sweats are common.“It's not only happening at night, though,” Bidey says.
