Night Sweats in Women 55-59 years

Night sweats are hot flashes occurring during sleep, often soaking clothes and bedding. This is the primary cause of sleep disruption in perimenopause - middle-of-night waking leads to daily fatigue and brain fog. Malaysia's humid climate worsens this. At 55-59, many women are in postmenopause with vasomotor symptoms beginning to ease for some. But genitourinary syndrome of menopause (vaginal dryness, painful intercourse) tends to worsen without treatment. Cardiovascular and bone prevention become primary priorities - screening plans should be discussed with a clinician based on age, risk and local guidance. Night sweats at 55-59 typically reduce significantly, but about 30% of women still experience them. Consider thyroid testing if symptoms first appear at this age.
