Diaphoresis is also a symptom of menopause. Sweating and hot flashes are part of the menopause process for the majority of women. Fluctuating estrogen levels and hormonal changes generate false signals, tricking the brain into thinking the body is overheating. This reaction can cause excessive sweating, but hormone therapy may lessen the symptoms. A cool shower, light clothing, and a fan or AC unit near the bed can help, too.
