4. What could it mean if I have painful urination or other urinary difficulties as well as frequent urination?
   
   
5. What tests for polyuria might I have to undergo, and what do they involve?
   
   
6. What do my test results show?
   
   
7. Does my polyuria require treatment?
   
   
8. If so, what are my options, and which do you recommend?
   
   
9. At what point could my polyuria lead to dehydration or other complications?
   
   
10. How much water should I drink?
    
    
11. Does my polyuria require regular monitoring?
