9. Patient Education
To prevent complications of hypohidrosis or anhidrosis, patients can try to stay indoors especially on hotter days. On warm days, it can make a significant difference by wearing light and loose clothing. Since sweating may not be an option for some, a spray bottle containing water to replace the sweating mechanism can help to prevent symptoms. Also, learning the signs and symptoms of complications and to seek help when necessary is crucial.
Friends and family members should also be educated on the signs and symptoms of heat cramps, exhaustion, and heat stroke so they know when to call emergency services.
