Questions for your doctor

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 perspiration-related questions:

  1. Am I perspiring more than I should be?

  2. Is my excessive sweating a cause for concern?

  3. What can I do to minimize my sweating and body odor?

  4. Under what circumstances should I seek immediate medical attention for excessive sweating?

  5. What foods may be causing me to sweat more?

  6. I rarely sweat, should I be worried?

  7. How can I prevent anhidrosis-related complications?

  8. Will I require surgery for my sweating problems?
