What Causes Polydipsia?
March 14, 2019
Polydipsia is the condition of being excessively thirsty and it is usually the result of a health problem. Some causes of polydipsia are easily fixed, but some are chronic. Patients with polydipsia will often drink too much water. This might seem like a good thing; after all, water is one of the healthiest things one can drink. However, drinking too much water can lead to further problems such as hyponatremia, which is a low concentration of sodium in the body. Polydipsia can also be annoying to deal with. As such, it is important for patients to find out the cause of their polydipsia in order to treat any underlying conditions they might have.
