Hello!
I had gone through your query and understand your concerns.
There are many conditions that can cause excessive thirsty, drinking to much water and than
frequent urination.
If I were your treating doctor I first would rule out Diabetes Mellitus which is the most common cause.
I would advise to run a blood sugar test(random or fasting plasma glucose,HbA1c).
If this test result normal we can think other possible causes.
-
Diabetes insipidus is an uncommon disorder characterized by intense thirst, despite the drinking of fluids (
polydipsia), and the excretion of large amounts of urine (polyuria). In most cases, it's the result of your body not properly producing, storing or releasing ADH hormone(anti-
diuretic hormone), but diabetes insipidus can also occur when your kidneys are unable to respond properly to that hormone.In this case a number of tests are done to confirm the diagnose such as :
-Water deprivation test
-
Urinalysis ( If your urine is less concentrated, meaning the amount of water is high relative to other excreted substances, it could be due to diabetes insipidus.
- MRI of the head to look for abnormalities in or near the
pituitary gland.
I suggest to consult an
endocrinologist because you need a complete evaluation in order to sort out the right cause of these symptoms and get the right treatment.
Hope my answer has helped.
Take care.
