    There are other things that cause night sweats also. You might want to get a check up and tell your doctor about it. It's easier to live with those than some of the side affects HRT causes though.

    Keep your bedroom cooler.

    Wear loose cotton night clothes.

    Night sweats happen during the years of perimenopause, they will go away somewhat.

    Hey,

    Hyperhidrosis, also known as polyhidrosis or sudorrhea means excessive sweating; sweating too much

    The most active regions of perspiration include the hands, feet, armpits and the groin area because of a relatively high concentration of sweat glands in those areas.

    There are two types of hyperhidrosis. Primary focal hyperhidrosis refers to overactive sweat glands that affect certain areas of the body, such as the hands, feet, face or underarms.

    This form of hyperhidrosis can't be prevented and isn't contagious because it was probably inherited (although the condition may skip a generation). Secondary generalized hyperhidrosis is total body

    sweating prompted by secondary medical conditions or medications.

    Cheers ;)
