Night sweats is a disease name of traditional Chinese medicine. It is characterized by abnormal sweating after falling asleep, and the sweating stops after waking. "Theft" has the meaning of stealing. The ancient doctors and thieves sneaked around in the night every day to describe the disease evidence. Whenever people fell asleep, or just closed their eyes and fell asleep, sweat secretly leaked out like a thief.

Night sweats source

Traditional Chinese medicine has a deeper understanding of night sweats, and it is called "sleep sweat" in the "Huang Di Nei Jing" written in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. "Sleep" means to sleep

Night sweats

Jue, there is an idiom called "abandoned bed and forget to eat", which means that you can't afford to sleep and forget to eat. Obviously "sleep sweat" is sweating while sleeping. In the Han Dynasty, medical doctor Zhang Zhongjing used the name "night sweats" in the book "A Brief Guide to the Golden Depression" to name the condition that people sweat in their sleep. Since then, this name has been used by medical doctors of all ages, and Chinese medicine believes that night sweats are mostly caused by kidney yin deficiency.

Clinical manifestations of night sweats

Some patients with night sweats shed sweats every time they fall asleep, and some night sweats fall asleep after falling asleep, and some just shed sweats as soon as they close their eyes. The amount of sweat produced varies widely.

Causes and causes of night sweats

1. Kidney yin deficiency: deficiency is yang, deficiency heat endogenous, yin qi is empty, sleep is qi, and qi is trapped in the yin with deficiency, there is no guard, the muscle surface is not dense, the fire of glory is alone, the steam is hot, Kazun leaked sweat. Awake is fixed on the table, Xuanfu is closed and sweat is stopped.

2. Tuberculosis

Night sweats classification

According to the clinical manifestations of night sweat patients, they can be divided into three types: light, medium and heavy.

Night sweats

Most patients with mild night sweats have fallen asleep deeply, or sweat easily at 5 am or 1 to 2 hours before awakening, with less sweat, and only feel a little bit in the whole body or some parts of the body after waking up Sweat, no sweat leaked again after waking. It is generally not accompanied by discomfort.

Night sweats

Most patients with medium-grade night sweats can release sweat shortly after falling asleep, and can even drench in their sleepwear, and stop sweating after waking up. After wiping the sweat on the body, they will no longer sweat after falling asleep. With this type of night sweats, patients often have a burning sensation, sweating hot, and sometimes feel dry and pharyngeal after waking up.

Night sweats

In patients with severe night sweats, sweat is easily released. Shortly after falling asleep or when you just closed your eyes and were about to fall asleep, a large number of sweaty nights gushed out, you can wake up after sweating, and the sweat can converge when you wake up. Sweating again after falling asleep again. Sweating is large, sweat often has a light salty smell, or sweaty mixed with sweat odor. Sweating can make the bedding soaked, and you can't sleep peacefully if you change your sleepwear several times a night. Some patients with strong evidence can wet the bedding. When the bedding is thin or the mat is used, sweat can print on the bed. These patients are often accompanied by a noticeable feeling of heat and irritability, and their mouths are dry after sweating, and they like cold water. Usually accompanied by low fever or hot flashes, five upset fever, redness, dizziness, weight loss, fatigue, dark urine, low urine output, dry stool.

Light and medium night sweats will not cause too much damage to the body, but patients with heavy night sweats will often worsen their condition over time and develop into "out of symptoms", which seriously threatens patients' health and life safety.

Night sweats

Night sweats

In childhood, the skin is very tender, with more water, rich capillaries, strong metabolism, imperfect autonomic nervous regulation, and sweating easily during activities. If a child has too much activity before going to sleep, the organs in the body are actively metabolized, which can increase the body's heat production. During sleep, skin blood vessels expand, sweat glands secrete, and sweat is dripping to facilitate heat dissipation. Secondly, sleeping before eating can increase gastrointestinal motility, increase gastric secretion, and increase sweat gland secretion. This can cause children to sweat more after falling asleep, especially within the first 2 hours of falling asleep. In addition, if the indoor temperature is too high, or the quilt is too thick, or when using an electric blanket, it can cause sweating during sleep.

Night sweats

After falling asleep in some children, they usually sweat more than midnight, which is usually caused by low blood calcium. Low calcium can easily increase the excitability of sympathetic nerves, like turning on the "faucet" of sweat glands, which is especially common in children with rickets. However, night sweats are not a unique manifestation of rickets. A comprehensive analysis should be performed based on the feeding situation of children and outdoor activities. Blood calcium, phosphorus, and radiographs of the wrist bones should also be checked to determine whether children have active rickets.

Night sweats in children with tuberculosis are characterized by sweating all night. In addition, there are symptoms such as flushing, low fever, weight loss, loss of appetite, and changes in mood. Examination of erythrocyte sedimentation, anti-tuberculosis antibodies, chest radiographs, etc. can often find abnormalities. It is important to note that a detailed investigation of lymphadenopathy in the neck is extremely valuable in the diagnosis of tuberculosis in children.

In summary, all causes and diseases that affect the body's temperature regulation center and increase the excitability of sympathetic nerves can cause night sweats in children. As a parent, you should carefully observe your child and make a comprehensive analysis before making judgments. Do not take medicine blindly to avoid causing adverse consequences.

Night sweats in children

In children with night sweats, the cause must first be identified in a timely manner and appropriate treatment given. For physical night sweats, drug treatment is generally not advocated, but corresponding measures are taken to eliminate the factors that cause high fever in life. For example, if the child has too much activity before going to bed, or eats high-calorie foods at night, he should control the activity and food intake before going to bed, which is also conducive to sleeping and controlling childhood obesity. Physical and mental health. Some children's night sweats are caused by excessive room temperature or thick quilts. In winter, the bedroom temperature should be 24 28 ; the thickness of the quilt should increase or decrease with the temperature change. Generally speaking, if parents notice the above-mentioned triggers that are likely to cause increased heat production and overcome them, the chance of night sweats will naturally decrease. Even if a child occasionally has one or two night sweats, don't worry too much. The main thing that night sweats lose is water and salt, which can be supplemented through a reasonable daily diet. Calcium and vitamin D must be supplemented at the same time. Vitamin D is the carrier for calcium ions to be absorbed by the human body. No calcium is absorbed without vitamin D. The calcium edge tablets contain vitamin D, which doubles the body's absorption of calcium ions increase.

For children with pathological night sweats, the cause should be treated. Night sweats caused by calcium deficiency should be appropriately supplemented with calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, etc., and the following should be done:

(1) More exposure to sunlight, including outdoor light and reflected light. Outdoor activities, do not bask in the sun through the glass.

(2) Vigorously promote breastfeeding.

(3) Premature infants, twins, children with frequent diarrhea or other digestive disorders should pay attention to vitamin D.

(4) In rural or cold areas in the north, preventive measures against rickets should be taken in accordance with the plan: "sunbathing in summer and D dose in winter".

For night sweats caused by tuberculosis, formal anti-TB treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

Night sweats in children

Whether it is physiological or pathological night sweats, nursing is very important. After night sweats in children, dry the skin with a dry towel in a timely manner, change clothes in a timely manner, and act lightly to avoid colds and colds in children. Pay attention to replenishing water and salt in time. You can add oral rehydration salt, referred to as "ORS", or boiled water with a little salt and sugar, which can promote the absorption of water and salt. The bedding should also be aired frequently. The function of sunlight is not only heating and drying, but also disinfection and sterilization. In addition, for children who are prone to night sweats, planned physical exercises, such as sunbathing and cold water baths, should be carried out to enhance their physique and adaptability. As your body builds up, night sweats will stop, which will outweigh the numerous medications.

Night sweats Chinese medicine treatment

Chinese medicine believes that: the kidney is the main fluid, sweating into the heart. Due to sexual intercourse, excessive labor, blood loss and spermatozoa, or chronic illness and injury to the yin, yin deficiency, kidney fluid deficiency, endogenous fire, endogenous leakage, hot flashes, night sweats, distress and tinnitus, dizziness and tinnitus , Red tongue, less moss, thin pulse, etc. "Medical Zong must read" cloud: "Kidney Yin failure can not be incarcerated and retired, but internal injuries and night sweats." At this time, the treatment should be nourishing yin and lowering fire.

Night sweats

origin

At the end of the course of "Traditional Chinese Medicine Literature Retrieval", the teacher asked students to prepare a review. Thinking about it, nowhere to write, when I missed the usual doctor consultation, the patient Hengduo who suffered from night sweats, although it was a minor illness, was quite distressing, so why not try this.

Then I tried Baidu's "night sweats" and found that many patients with night sweats asked questions online for help. The answer was yes, but the classification was unclear, and it was easy for patients who did not understand Chinese medicine to make a falsehood. Harm. And many helpers, one answer, tens of thousands of viewers, an article, thousands of downloaders. As a Chinese medical practitioner, in the face of this situation, I feel it is necessary to write a relatively clear article. I hope that it will be useful after I write it and put it on the Internet.

The article starts with the professional content, and then tries to make it popular and easy to operate. I hope that the majority of netizens can understand it. If it is not good, I hope that seniors and already working Chinese doctors will not shoot bricks after seeing it.

Briefly describe the concepts

Night sweats, "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" is called "sleep sweat", in popular terms, refers to a person sweating after falling asleep, and sweating after waking up. "Ming Doctor Finger Palm Sweat, Night Sweat, Sweat and Sweat Card" cloud: "Sweatshirts, who come out of bed, feel and receive, like Kou Piran, hence the name".

Night sweats are mostly attributed to yin deficiency, such as "Medical consciousness and spontaneous sweating": "It has night sweats and typhoid fever Shaoyang, but all of them are yin deficiency." And "Medical Ethics · Sweat Certificate": "Sweat sweaters, who sleep in bed and bath as a bath, are known to all, are yin deficiency, and the owner of the camp for blood. It is better to add sun and sweat to sweat, and night sweats. Yin and fire. "However, night sweats are not all yin deficiency. For example, Zhang Jingyue's" Book of Jingyue · Sweat Certificate "once said:" It must not be said that night sweats must be yin deficiency "," night sweats are also Yang deficiency ". "Danxi Heart Law" cloud: "night sweats are blood deficiency." Wang Qingren s "Medical Forest Corrects Errors" states that: "It is actually effective to replenish qi, solidify the skin, nourish yin, and lower fire, but it does not work. However, those who aggravate the blood stasis may also make people sweat and night sweats. Fu Zhuyu Decoction. "Added prescriptions for treating spontaneous sweating and night sweats caused by blood stasis. There are other reasons such as dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach, phlegm and heat in the lungs, and dampness and heat in the liver. Therefore, if the dialectics are inaccurate, it is easy to get wrong.

Two medical records, chat table anyway

Case of Yin Deficiency Night Sweat Jiang Chunhua "Modern and Modern Famous Medical Examination Cases" Zhumou, male, 58 years old. For more than ten years, he has night sweats, a strong body, a red-faced lips, and pulses. Angelica 9g, cooked rehmannia 30g, raw rehmannia 15g, cork 9g, scutellaria baicalensis 9g, Coptis chinensis 1.5g, black ginseng 9g 7 doses. The second consultation: Take a dose of night sweats in front of you, cough and sputum, and add 7 doses of astragalus 9g and black ginseng in front. The third diagnosis: She shed tears while reading, her face was still red, and she was sweating once due to excessive fatigue. Chinese angelica 9g cooked rehmannia 30g raw rehmannia 15g white peony 9g yellow peony 9g astragalus 9g huanglian 1.5g oyster 15g Wangjiangnan 9g cork 9g, 7 patients were stopped after sweating.

2. Yang Xu night sweats Cao Yingfu's "Experimental Records of Jingfang"

Quarter left. On October 12, night sweats and night sweats, and the pulse-yang floating yin and weak, Yiguizhi plus keel oyster soup. Four dollars from Sichuan Guizhi, three dollars from baijiu, one dollar from licorice, four dollars from keel, one or two left oysters, eight slices of ginger, and twelve red dates.

In the 1 case, Zhumou, night sweats, red cheeks, and lip palpitation, so they are yin deficiency and fire, and the prescription was modified with Angelica Liuhuang Decoction, and then Astragalus and Xuanshen were added to help the Qi and nourish yin. Healing at diagnosis.

In case 2, this case was due to toil and night sweats, floating Yang pulses, weak Yin pulses, and sweating at night. Because Yang deficiency could not take care of the Yin liquid, Guizhi was added with keel oysters.

The above two medical cases, one is Yin deficiency night sweats, the other is Yang deficiency night sweats. The cause is different and the treatment is different. If 1 case uses 2 methods, or 2 uses 1 method, it must be invalid.

Here, I tried to use popular words to talk about the pathogenesis of the above two medical records so that netizens will have a rough understanding.

In case 1, Chinese medicine was diagnosed as yin deficiency and fire, and Chinese medicine believed that the human body is composed of yin and yang, which restrict each other. Just like the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War, they did not dare to act arbitrarily. If a person's yin is insufficient, then Yang cannot be restricted, like the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. At this time, the power of the United States appears very strong, it will flourish, it will shine, and it will behave in a wrong way. There have been more than a dozen major military aggression operations around the world. This does not include many small-scale military operations or daily bombings in Iraq in the late 1990s. If you want the United States to be honest, you must The country has grown strong enough. Then, if you want to make the fire less prosperous, you must support Yin and adopt the method of nourishing Yin and reducing fire.

In 2 cases, Guizhi and keel oysters were used to help reconcile yin and yang. "Inner Yellow Emperor's Trail": "Yin is inside, Yang is keeping it, Yang is outside, Yin is making it". This is different from the first case, mainly because of lack of Weiyang and detuned yin and yang. As a popular analogy, qiyang is like a pot lid. If it is intact, then the water vapor in the pot will come out properly, but if the pot lid is of poor quality and a lot of holes are broken, then the water vapor will not Controlled, a large number came out. In this case, the most fundamental problem is to repair the lid. The Nei Jing · Guo Dian Dao Lun said that "it is necessary to observe the location of yin and yang and adjust it, with a view to peace." Therefore, for the human body, Wei Yang is weak and yin and yang are out of harmony.

Yang, male, 32 years old. First visit on December 15, 2009. Night sweats increase for one month. After suffering from external sensation 5 years ago, the patient has a certificate of benefit, which is light and heavy, and the stool is 4 to 6 times a day. It is urgent, the stool is thin and mixed with mucus, and the whole body is accompanied by red rice grain papules. Itching. Treatment with antibiotics can improve symptoms but not cure them. In the past six months, a night sweat has been added. At the beginning, it was not paid much attention, but the symptoms gradually increased. The night sweats such as washing, yellow dyed clothes, need to change pajamas and bedding every day, and gradually feel physically weak, prone to external feelings. Observe that his tongue is dark red, yellow fur is slightly greasy, and his pulse number is slightly thinner. This is evil heat and internal depression, discord between the inside and the outside, and the yin is leaking. Governance is to clear the heat, relieve the evil of the table, and yin and yang, and add ephedra forsythia red adzuki bean soup with Gegen Qinlian soup Guizhi decoction.

It is recommended to take another 5 doses according to the original prescription to consolidate the effect. Follow-up after six months, the disease has been cured, physical strength is significantly enhanced, and there is very little exogenous.

Press: "If there is evidence, use medicine." The benefit of this case, the number of pulses, arises from exogenous feelings, and it is the Gegen Qinlian decoction; the sweat is excellent in yellow dyed clothes, and the whole body has red pimples. Although it is not yellow, it is the same as the ephedra forsythia red bean soup. Therefore, in this case, the pathogenesis was caused by external evils entering the heat, internal heat, depression, dissonance between the front and back, and yin and yang disharmony over time. It is based on ephedra forsythia red bean soup and Gegen Qinlian soup to clear the heat and relieve the evil. Guizhi soup is then used to adjust the camp guard, the screen is scattered to strengthen the qi, the calcined dragon is astringent, and the yang is restrained, and the perspiration is quenched.

The head is as heavy as wrapped, the limbs are drowsy, the appetite is tired, and the pussy is cold. The tongue coating is thin, white and greasy, and the pulses are slow. The card belongs to dampness and yang deficiency, which is ruled by the method of warming yang in the course of wet transport.

Prescription: Fried Cangzhu 15 g, Chen Pei 12 g, Poria 12 g, Magnolia 10 g, Alisma 12 g, White Cardamom Kernel 5 g, Raw Coix Seeds 24 g, Pinellia 12 g, Psoralea 12 g, Oyster 20 g. Shuijianbi, 1 day.

The above-listed papers were downloaded from HowNet and Wanfang. The purpose is not to show the professionalism of this article, but to explain that if night sweats are subdivided, there are many cases. Then, netizens will ask "If this is the case, isn't your article all nonsense?" Next, I tried to try and make the reader feel that reading this article has a little gain.

Governing Law Prescriptions and Instructions

Through the nonsense above, we learned that there are different treatments for night sweats. We also know that there are too many types of TCM syndromes in night sweats, and some professional professionals still make mistakes, which is even more difficult for the majority of netizens. In the following, the author tries to comprehensively analyze from the aspects of the clinical incidence of different types, the size of the indications of various treatment methods, and the existence of harm if the symptom is not symptomatic. We have obtained a sequence, like the common No. 1 plan in movies. , Plan 2 and plan 3. It is planned to act on the No. 1 plan. If the situation changes, then act on the No. 2 plan, and so on. So what does the situation here mean? It means "treating alone", I will emphasize in detail behind each prescription, that is, you should choose the No. 1 plan, but comparing the content, you find that there are several points that are consistent with what I have emphasized, then explain the situation There are changes, the Bank's No. 2 plan, so so, so so. The purpose of this article is to explain the complex situation as much as possible through some space. However, the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, and the author is not familiar with it. If you ca nt check the box, please do nt blame me.

Cheng Guozhang in the Qing Dynasty said in "Medical Psychology": "The ancient prescription used Angelica Liuhuang Decoction, the medicine tastes too cold, which is not suitable for people with Yin deficiency. It hurts the yang more, how can it be harmless? "It makes sense. Traditional Chinese medicine has a saying that" a small illness regulates qi and blood, and a serious illness regulates yin and yang. " This party is based on Yin, not forgetting Fuyang Qianyang, yin deficiency must reach yang, and yin and yang reconcile, the evidence will heal. This prescription should not be cold, take care of yin and yang, and be careful with medication.

Summary :

I used a little space to introduce the cause and classification of night sweats. I also tried to give some advice to netizens. I hope it will be useful because the time is tight and the author's level is really limited. I am not very satisfied. I hope everyone will criticize it. In addition, the original plan was to include the therapeutic side in the classification, but it was too late, so first, take time to write and then issue it.

Causes of night sweats in children

Night sweats are divided into physiological and pathological factors. Any cause and disease that affects the body's temperature regulation center and increases the excitability of sympathetic nerves can cause night sweats in children. As a parent, you should carefully observe your child and make a comprehensive analysis before making judgments. Do not take medicine blindly to avoid causing adverse consequences.

Night sweats

In childhood, the skin is very tender, with more water, rich capillaries, strong metabolism, imperfect autonomic nervous regulation, and sweating easily during activities. If a child has too much activity before going to sleep, the organs in the body are actively metabolized, which can increase the body's heat production. During sleep, skin blood vessels expand, sweat glands secrete, and sweat is dripping to facilitate heat dissipation. Secondly, sleeping before eating can increase gastrointestinal motility, increase gastric secretion, and increase sweat gland secretion. This can cause children to sweat more after falling asleep, especially within the first 2 hours of falling asleep. In addition, if the indoor temperature is too high, or the quilt is too thick, or when using an electric blanket, it can cause sweating during sleep.

Night sweats

After falling asleep in some children, they usually sweat more than midnight, which is usually caused by low blood calcium. Low calcium can easily increase the excitability of sympathetic nerves, like turning on the "faucet" of sweat glands, which is especially common in children with rickets. However, night sweats are not a unique manifestation of rickets. A comprehensive analysis should be performed based on the feeding situation of children and outdoor activities. Blood calcium, phosphorus, and radiographs of the wrist bones should also be checked to determine whether children have active rickets.

Night sweats and night sweats therapy

There is a distinction between "moving sweat" and "static sweat" in Chinese medicine. Sweating due to weather conditions is still sweating, which is equivalent to passive sweating. Many abnormal sweats need attention, such as spontaneous sweating and night sweats. Some people are not hot, sweating from the front and the back when they are not exercising, and easily fatigue, colds, and flustered. They are especially afraid of wind and cold. This is called spontaneous sweating, which is a manifestation of qi deficiency. Sweating as soon as I fall asleep at night, called night sweats, is a manifestation of yin deficiency. Different sweating areas can reflect a person's physical condition. Excessive sweating on the forehead and face is a manifestation of stasis and internal heat, easily irritable, bitter mouth, and yellow urine; sweating in the front and back of the heart is a deficiency of qi, palpitations, palpitation, insomnia, and forgetfulness.
