Sweating during late pregnancy

Women have a very hard time when they are pregnant, especially in the late pregnancy. Some pregnant women often sweat at night, which seriously affects their sleep quality. This situation can easily cause pregnant women to feel sleepy during the day. If you experience symptoms of excessive sweating at night in the late pregnancy, it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, find out the cause and then treat it symptomatically.

Is it normal to sweat a lot during late pregnancy?

It is a normal physiological phenomenon for pregnant women to sweat at night. This is because the estrogen level of pregnant women increases during pregnancy, and the concentration of cortisol-binding globulin in the blood increases, which leads to hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex. In addition, the basal metabolic rate increases during pregnancy, and the function of the autonomic nervous system changes accordingly, causing unstable vasoconstriction function and increased skin blood flow, resulting in increased sweating. Hyperhidrosis may also occur in late pregnancy. This phenomenon will continue until after delivery.

When sweating, metabolic wastes such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, urea, lactic acid, etc. in the human body are excreted from the body with sweat. Therefore, it can be said that excessive sweating during pregnancy is a protective physiological reaction that is beneficial to the health of pregnant women.

You cannot force cooling down to solve the problem of sweating. Keep your clothes dry, wipe them with warm water, and wear loose cotton pajamas.

But if a pregnant woman wakes up in the middle of the night with her clothes soaked with sweat, this is considered night sweats. There are many reasons for night sweats in pregnant women. First, after pregnancy, the body undergoes great changes, and the yin and yang in the body may temporarily lose balance, leading to yin deficiency. Second, it may be caused by calcium deficiency. In addition, chronic infections such as tuberculosis, rheumatic diseases, metabolic diseases, tumors and other pathological factors can also cause night sweats.

In this case, it is best to seek medical attention, find the specific problem and solve it specifically. Never take it lightly.
