Are night sweats a sign of cancer?

[Anonymous]

My mom's been having night sweats since she got corona virus in 2020, she already has a fat cyst in her arm since 2014 but never dared to remove it because her body doesn't tolerate anesthesia, she's 60 years old..

Cancer

Yes, night sweats can be a symptom of some cancers, but they can also have other causes:

Cancer
Night sweats can be an early sign of certain cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, liver cancer, bone cancer, and mesothelioma. However, night sweats alone are not usually a sign of cancer. Other symptoms that may indicate cancer include unexplained weight loss, fever, fatigue, bruising, breathlessness, bone pain, and abdominal pain.

Other causes
Night sweats can also be caused by infections, hormone disorders, anxiety, thyroid problems, low blood sugar, menopause, or certain medications.

If you're experiencing night sweats, you should talk to your healthcare provider. They can help you determine the cause and recommend treatments to manage your symptoms.

My mom was getting night sweats but I’m pretty sure it was due to having menopause.




However, the cyst under her arm could possibly be an inflamed lymph node… and yes. You can get cancer of the lymph nodes. My mom has that.

Please consult a doctor. Random people on a website are not the best givers of advice, especially when it cones to medical topics.
