Night Sweats
Night sweats can be caused by hormonal changes such as menopause. However, night sweats that occur in conjunction with a fever or swollen nodes could indicate a more serious underlying medical condition. Night sweats alone can be linked to hormonal changes, such as menopause. However, night sweats in combination with fever or swollen nodes may indicate a serious medical condition. Night sweats, for example, are associated with swollen nodes and leukemia. Night sweats patients should consult a physician for an evaluation. They should also mention other symptoms, such as swollen or feverish lymph nodes. The doctor will ask about the patient’s medical history and perform a physical exam. The doctor will check the lymph nodes of the patient for swelling and take their temperature. To check for an infection, blood tests might be ordered. Ultrasounds and other imaging studies may also be recommended. Keep a record of when and where you have had night sweats. This will help your doctor to get a complete health history.
