In the context of menopause, night sweats are episodes of excessive sweating that occurs during sleep, often resulting in awakening and the need to change bedclothes or sheets, and are considered a a manifestation of vasomotor symptoms (VMS) alongside hot flashes.
These episodes are typically associated with a sudden sensation of heat, flushing and perspiration, and are triggered by the decline in estrogen levels during the menopause transition. Night sweats can significantly disrupt sleep and contribute to insomnia, fatigue and irritability in peri/ menopausal women.
