There are several possible physical conditions – some disorders of the Kidney / Hormones – Diabetes Insipidus (vasopressin - ADH), Diabetes Mellitus (insulin) /
There is even a Psychiatric state called Psychogenic Polydipsia
You need examination
One also needs investigations – urine osmolality / kidney function / hormones assay /blood sugar etc.
