Abstract

Polydipsia, the medical term for excessive thirst, is a symptom characterized by an intense and unquenchable desire to drink fluids. While occasional thirst is a normal physiological response to factors such as dehydration or intense physical activity, polydipsia is marked by an abnormal increase in fluid intake that exceeds the body’s needs. This condition can be a sign of an underlying health issue and may warrant further evaluation and treatment. In this article, we will explore the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of polydipsia to gain a deeper understanding of this complex medical phenomenon
