Polydipsia
poly much/many | dipsia thirst
Polydipsia is a condition of excessive thirst. It may be the result of an obvious cause - such as eating very spicy or salty foods or excessive sweating after vigorous exercise - or it may signal something more serious, since abnormal thirst can be a symptom of diabetes. Polydipsia can also result from psychological issues.
