Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. The earlier surgery was for benign prostatic hypertrophy. Now, I think it was done for prostatic carcinoma.
2. Night sweat are a symptom of prostatic carcinoma.
3. It whole cancer was excised, night Sweat's should stop. Take good amount of fluids to maintain hydration. PSA levels will help in diagnosing recurrence.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again
