Cancer terminal suddenly loves to drink water very much how to return a responsibility

Patients with advanced cancer may experience increased thirst due to changes in body metabolism. The growth and metabolism of tumors will consume a lot of energy and water, causing the body to be in a relatively dehydrated state, which stimulates the thirst center and causes the need to drink water frequently.

physical functions of patients with advanced cancer often become disordered. Electrolyte imbalance will affect the normal functions of the body, including the regulation of thirst, so that the amount of water they drink increases significantly.
