Excessive sweating in vaginal area during sleep

Posted by caseyn2020 @caseyn2020, Nov 10, 2021

Hi everyone!
Does anyone experience excessive sweating in the vaginal area during sleep? If so, what could be the cause, and what can I do for it?
I’m wondering if it could be the cause of my BV, and recurring yeast infections in the past?
Thank you!

Yes, sweating can contribute to Bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections.

Menopause or other things that cause hormonal imbalance can contribute to the sweating. Time to talk with your gynecologist if the sweating is getting too much.

Things that can help:

Wear loose clothing.. avoid leggings, tight jeans, etc

Wear cotton underwear… at least the crotch (less popular than in past years.)

Wear natural fibers .. such as cotton or wool … especially for pajamas

You can dust area with cornstarch to be more dry.

If the pubic hair is thick or long a trim might help.

Best wishes for relief.
