Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

Having frequent urination after drinking water is most commonly psychogenic in nature. Not drinking adequate water is not a solution as this will affect the other functions of your body. Diabetes insipidus needs to be ruled out. There can also be associated electrolyte imbalance in the body.

You need to consult your physician for proper evaluation of renal functions and thyroid functions. Other organic causes need to be ruled out by certain blood tests. The treatment will depend on the cause.

Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.

Wishing you good health.

Regards.
