Many: Infections, cancer, menopause, and endocrine disorders to name a few. If the night sweats are also accompanied by unintentional weight loss, fevers, or breathing difficulties, one needs to seek medical attention sooner than later. A health care provider can help determine the cause and then possible treatment options.
