Customer question:

What could be causing night sweats in men? Anonymous customer's question

Pharmacist's answer:

Night sweats in men can be caused by various factors, from physiological to psychological. If a man experiences persistent or more intense night sweats that affect the quality of his sleep or life, it is recommended that he consult a doctor. The doctor carries out appropriate examinations, makes a diagnosis, and prescribes appropriate treatment depending on the cause of night sweats.

Here are some possible causes of night sweats:

• Hormonal changes: These can be associated with aging, affect body temperature regulation, and cause night sweats. For example, middle-aged men may experience andropause, which is similar to menopause in women.

• Infections: Some infections, especially those that cause fever, often lead to night sweats.

• Thyroid disorders: Thyroid disorders such as hyperthyroidism can cause night sweats.

• Diabetes: this can cause disturbances in the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, which can result in night sweats.

• Neurological diseases: Certain neurological diseases can affect the body's thermoregulation, causing excessive sweating.

• Some medications: Certain medications, such as antidepressants, medications for high blood pressure, and some others, can cause night sweats as a side effect.

• Stress and anxiety: Emotional stress or anxiety can trigger increased activity in the nervous system, which can lead to night sweats.

• Natural body temperature regulation: Night sweats in men can also occur as a normal body response to body temperature regulation during sleep.

Do the symptoms of leukemia differ between the sexes?

Symptoms of leukemia do not necessarily depend on the gender of the individual; however, some differences may occur depending on the type of leukemia.

There are four basic types of leukemia: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Symptoms can vary depending on the type of leukemia and the individual.

Common symptoms of leukemia that can occur in both sexes include:

• nausea and fatigue
• pallor of the skin
• enlarged lymph nodes
• increased tendency to bruises and bleeding
• elevated body temperature
• sudden weight loss

It should be emphasized that specific symptoms may vary depending on the type of leukemia. For example, CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) usually develops slowly and often has no apparent symptoms in the early stages. AML (acute myeloid leukemia) can appear with a rapid onset of symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and bleeding.

An individual who notices changes in their health must consult a doctor, who can carry out appropriate tests and make a diagnosis. Early detection of leukemia is the key to effective treatment, regardless of gender.
