Polyuria – Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment

Excessive Fluid Intake

It is important to know that both caffeine and alcohol might have diuretic effects. This means these beverages can trigger polyuria and make the body dehydrated when you consume them excessively. Unlike diuretic effects of caffeinated drinks, which can decrease over time when you drink them frequently, alcoholic products are always diuretic even when you consume them on a regular basis. Therefore, if you notice the above-mentioned symptoms, it is better to avoid or restrict the consumption of caffeinated beverages like tea, coffee, or sodas, as well as alcohol. [6]
