What Causes The Urge To Urinate Immediately After Drinking Water?
I have a friend who is 72 yrs (female) and experiencing having to urinate IMMEDIATELY after drinking any liquids. She is becoming very thirsty needless to say and dehydrated judging from the look of her skin. She had 2 cortisone injections last week, (1 in each knee).

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Urge to urinate immediately after drinking water can be due to urinary tract infection.
Feeling of intense thirst and dehydration may be due to loss of fluids due to frequent urination.
The dehydration needs to be managed with fluids.
Thanks and take care
