Was just wondering if anyone else has been suffering with night sweats after weightloss?
I have lost 5 1/2 stone with LL and started management at the end of may.
since aboput mid july i have been suffering from really bad night sweats, i wake up soaking wet with my clothes (if i am wearing any ) stuck to me or if naked then a pool of sweat on my breast bone. I dont feel hot just wet!!!
it never happens in the day time and infact most of the time I am on the chilly side, I have spoken to my GP who checked to see if it could be a side affect of my MIrena coil ( its not).!!
He is of the opinion that it is due to my dramatic weightloss and that before, as in all obese women I had a lot more oestrogen in my body , as oestrogen is produced in fat ( or something like that!!) anyway thats why obese women have a higher incidence of female related cancers, breast, uterine etc ( and so infact do Men, breast cancer).
He says as i have less fat my levels have dropped, not to an abnormal level (as in the menopause ) but to a level that my body is having to adjust too.
Has anyone else had this ?
Does anyone else know anything about this?
All answers and opinions welcome please ( costing me a fortune in washing powder!!!)
He has suggested that i could try some natural phyto-oestrogens, like black co-osh and include some soya in my diet, but do already have a fair bit but am going to try to have a bit more.
Am def going to try the blach co osh.
