Female shivering in the middle of the night

Some women often have this problem, that is, they suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and shiver and feel cold all over. This symptom is most likely caused by autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Autonomic dysfunction is also related to many factors, such as genetics, psychological and physical fitness, and biological factors. Here are some common causes of autonomic dysfunction!

1. Genetic factors

Clinically, it has been found that genetic factors are directly related to the onset of mental disorders. Such as: schizophrenia, mood disorders, personality disorders, mental retardation, etc. Although the investigation has confirmed that the above diseases have a clear genetic tendency, there has been no conclusive result in the research on cytogenetics and molecular genetics so far. Because heredity is formed by the interaction between "innate" and "acquired", the manifestation of heredity is directly related to the impact of the social environment on the patient before and during the onset of the disease.

2. Quality factors

Quality includes two aspects: psychological quality and physical quality. The so-called psychological quality refers to the excitability and stability of the human nervous system. Clinically, it manifests itself as the intensity, speed, degree of arousal and emotional index of different people's reactions to different things. Physical fitness refers to the biological basis of an individual's reaction potential and determines the individual's mental activity mode.

3. Gender factors

Due to the characteristics of the endocrine system of the gonads and certain physiological processes, women may experience clinical manifestations such as emotional instability, impulsivity, and anxiety. This is related to the central nervous system inhibition of prolactin secretion. Because if women have oligomenorrhea or lactation, it will feed back to the central nervous system and cause an increase in prolactin in the body, which will often be accompanied by symptoms such as anxiety, depression, loss of energy and decreased tolerance to stress. Men are often affected by alcohol and tobacco, and a decrease in blood testosterone levels can induce depression in men.

4. Biological factors

Pathologies in other parts of the body can also affect the central nervous system and cause mental disorders. Organic diseases such as brain infection, tumor, trauma, bleeding, poisoning, degeneration, nutritional metabolism and psychoactive substances can directly or indirectly damage the normal function and structure of the human brain.
