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?
