When you are thirsty, typically drinking some water will help to quench your thirst and make you feel better. However, there are times when no matter how much water you drink it does not ever seem like it is enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You drink and drink and then drink some more and you are still thirsty. This is referred to as polydipsia. Polydipsia is not a health condition, but rather a symptom of several types of diseases. The most common ailment that causes a person to experience polydipsia is diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have noticed that you have been extremely thirsty for several days in a row and that you cannot seem to drink enough to quench your thirst, there is a chance that you have polydipsia, which may be the result of an underlying health condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to find out the underlying cause of the polydipsia and then you may want to try some of these natural ways to help treat the symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Measuring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is important to truly consider measuring the amount of fluid that you are drinking every day and how much urine you are producing. If you have not done this, but think that you have polydipsia, your medical professional may ask you to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to measure fluid intake is to start the day with a measured container of water and drink only from that particular container. Refill it throughout the day and note how much you have drunk after 24 hours. All other liquids such as coffee, tea, juice, etc. should be measured as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to measure the output of urine, there is a special container that can be used to collect the urine throughout the day. Your doctor will consider these numbers when trying to determine the underlying cause of your polydipsia<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, it is important to make sure that you are keeping as accurate results as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Fluid Restriction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the polydipsia is caused by a mental disorder<\/a> and the person has been institutionalized, monitoring serum sodium levels and behavior is necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A person who is suffering from polydipsia and is not institutionalized can also monitor their fluid intake and restrict how much fluids they are taken in. It is important to make sure that you are taking in enough fluids in order to remain hydrated, but not too much to overdo it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drinking too much water can lead to water poisoning, which can cause numerous unwanted symptoms and possibly even death. Restricting your fluids throughout the day, even if you are feeling very thirst can help the body to reset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to discuss this plan with your doctor so that you know how much fluid you should be taking in each day so that you maintain hydration and remain healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Some good examples of fruits and vegetables that are high in nutrients and water include zucchini, cucumbers, red peppers, red cabbage, dark green leafy vegetables, kiwi, strawberries, citrus fruits, and pineapples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starchy fruits and vegetables such as squash, sweet potatoes, avocados, and bananas are also good options. Coconut water can also be hydrating and will help to balance out electrolytes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A healthy diet that is made up of mostly fruits and vegetables can go a long way when it comes to helping treat polydipsia. It can also help with many other health issues that may be causing you to have this symptom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Avoiding Dehydration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
