Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following hyperhidrosis-related questions:

1. Is my hyperhidrosis primary or secondary?
   
   
2. What may be causing my hyperhidrosis?
   
   
3. What tests will you use to determine the cause of my hyperhidrosis?
   
   
4. Is my hyperhidrosis a cause for concern?
   
   
5. What are my treatment options? How effective are they?
   
   
6. Is it possible I could develop this problem in other areas of my body?
   
   
7. What can I do to minimize my hyperhidrosis?  
   
   
8. Are my children at risk for hyperhidrosis as well?
