Cold night sweats

Hi.

I am having very bad night sweats at the moment. They are preventing me from sleeping properly. my body is freezing and yet my bed and clothes are so wet i need to change. I had a laparoscopy for my endometriosis about 3 weeks ago and I though it might have something to do with that. I have always had night sweats on and off but never this severe or distracting. I was tested for diabetes a few months ago and the levels were on the high end of fine. WHat could be wrong with me?
