Dry mouth and always wanting to drink water, frequent urination - what's the reason?

Patient's question:

I did an moxibustion session at home a few days ago, and it was my first time. Later, I noticed that I was always thirsty and couldn't seem to quench it, no matter what. Additionally, the frequency of my trips to the bathroom kept increasing. I wanted to ask what could cause constant thirst and frequent urination?

Doctor's answer:

When experiencing frequent urination accompanied by excessive drinking, it is recommended to check your fasting blood sugar to see how normal it is. During this period, your diet should be light and avoid overly greasy or stimulating foods to prevent stomach upset. Stomach issues can also lead to dry mouth and throat. Drinking more warm water and consuming more vegetables and fruits can help replenish vitamins and improve your body's metabolism.
When patients face male health problems, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical consultation. If male health issues persist despite treatment, it is essential to promptly reassess and adjust the treatment plan.
