What is the reason for sweating at night during confinement?

Our female friends have to go through a process after giving birth, and that process is called confinement. During the confinement period, we female friends need to take better care of ourselves, avoid getting cold, and pay attention to our diet. Many female friends sweat at night during the confinement period. What is going on? Let’s take a closer look at the real reasons.

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.

Pregnant women often experience symptoms of excessive sweating, which mainly manifests itself on the palms of the hands and feet, skin wrinkles, anus, vulva, scalp and other areas where sweat glands are more distributed. In hot weather, the woman may sweat all over, and hyperhidrosis may occur in the late pregnancy. Since metabolic waste products such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, urea, lactic acid, etc. in the human body will be excreted from the body with sweat when sweating, excessive sweating during pregnancy is a protective reaction and is beneficial to the health of pregnant mothers.
